BIOGRAPHY OF ALBERTO BEVILACQUA
Intellectual committed and present in Italian life since the early 1960s, film director, journalist (he was a long-time television critic for “Il Corriere della Sera”), costume critic, polemicist, Alberto Bevilacqua has always received a great success with the public, receiving the major Italian literary awards: from Campiello in 1966 to Strega (“The cat’s eye”, 1968), to Bancarella (“A mysterious journey”, 1972), a victory dubbed in 1991 with “I enchanted senses “. A success also sanctioned by happy trials such as: “Anima amante” (1996), “GialloParma” (1997), “Smiles from the mystery” (1998). His first novel, written in 1955, is “La Dust sull’erba” but it remained unpublished until 2000 (Sciascia also read the typescript and wanted to publish it, but he thought it could cause a scandal). The international success comes with “La Califfa” (1964): with the protagonist Irene Corsini the gallery of the great female characters of Bevilacqua is inaugurated. Of the provincial epic, of its great and mean heroes, he had already provided a splendid fresco in “A city in love” (1962, republished in a new draft in 1988), but one of the most important novels of the decade is “This species of ‘love “(1966, Campiello prize). Intense and continuous, always parallel and never subordinated to the activity of storyteller, Bevilacqua’s poetic production is collected in the works: “L’amicizia perduta” (1961), “L’indignazione” (1973), “La cruelitudine” ( 1975), “Image and likeness” (1982), “My life” (1985), “The desired body” (1988), “The companion of my life” (1992), “Secret messages” (1992, Isola d ‘Elba), “Poems of love” (1996), “Little questions of eternity” (2002), “Bond of blood” (2003), “You who listen to me – poems to the mother” (2005). Among the latest works published are: “Journey to the beginning of the day” (2001), “Through your body” (2002), “Parma of scandals” and “You who listen to me” (2004), “Il Gengis” (2005), “He who betrayed you” (2006) and “The sorcerer love” (2009). In 2010 seven of his novels were included in the volume of “I Meridiani” dedicated to him. In addition, his books have been widely translated in Europe and the United States, Brazil, China and Japan. Starting from 1970 he also tries his hand at film directing, with the transposition of his novel “La califfa” which gets a good response from the public despite the reservations of film critics. He will return behind the camera to also make: “This kind of love” (1971, another adaptation of his own novel), “Attenti al buffone” (1975), in which he tries to stage political, social and philosophical in a grotesque tone, “The woman of wonders” (1985), “Tango blu” (1987) and “Giallo Parma” (1999, again from one of his novels). In 1979 he also landed in television directing with “The roses of Danzica”, which was followed in 1981 by “Bosco d’amore”, an adaptation for the small screen of a short story by Boccaccio.
