Edited by Gabriel Cacho Millet with photographs by Claudio Corrivetti, this book is a tribute to the extraordinary talent of the “nomad poet” Dino Campana. This anthology collects verses and proses of the greatest Italian writers and poets, such as Sibilla Aleramo, Giorgio Caproni, Vincenzo Cardarelli, Primo Conti, Alda Merini, Amelia Rosselli, Camillo Sbarbaro, Roberto Vecchioni among others, who have worked in many different ways on Campana's chords.

Claudio Corrivetti
(Roma, 1960) He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Rome. Attracted by the great French and American humanist photography of the 1950s, he began to collaborate with newspapers and magazines. The meeting with his friend and teacher Tazio Secchiaroli is the ideal opportunity to develop a new vision on photography and, after a short break in the cinema, he begins to travel to make reportages. In 1994 he founded the Postcart publishing house, combining the publishing activity with personal research between photography, music, polaroid and drawing. His works have converged in numerous publications and exhibitions: among the latest in Rome, the solo exhibition I luoghi di Dino Campana, during the Fotoleggendo 2008 festival and Roma in bianco e nero at FNAC and Palazzo delle Esposizioni, as part of Festival della Fotografia 2008.
Dino Campana
Born in Marradi in 1885, he was a great Italian visionary poet. His fame rests on his only published book of poetry, the Canti Orfici (Orphic Songs), as well as his wild and erratic personality, including his ill-fated love affair with Sibilla Aleramo. He is often seen as an Italian example of a poète maudit. He died on 1 March 1932.
