Emilio Tadini - The Fairy Tale...

A literature graduate, he began his literary career at just 20 years old, appearing on Elio Vittorini's magazine Il Politecnico in 1947, where he published "La passione secondo Matteo" (The Passion According to Matthew) and won the Serra Prize alongside Montale, Solmi, and Muscetta. Since then, he has continued his passion for writing, publishing essays, novels, poems, and monologues. He has also translated important twentieth-century works by the likes of Stendhal, Pound, Eliot, and Céline Faulkner for publishers such as Einaudi and many others. He exhibited his first works in the 1960s. His first show was in Venice at the Galleria del Cavallino, and his first collector was the artist Tancredi. He was invited to the Venice Biennale in 1978 and 1982. His pictorial work developed across several cycles. He was influenced by English Pop Art, the paintings of De Chirico and Picasso, and developed an increasingly refined, original language of dreamlike figuration. In 1992, he began writing about art and literature for the Corriere della Sera . In 1997, he wrote and hosted the program "Contesto" on Tele+. From 2000 to 2001, he collaborated with RSI Cultural (Swiss Radio and Television), as well as with RAI. He became director of the Bagutta Prize and a member of the jury for the IX Italo Calvino Prize in 1996. His last retrospective was held in 2001 at the Palazzo Reale in Milan. After his death (2002), from 24 to 25 September 2004, at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, the Corriere della Sera Foundation organized the conference Le figure, le cose (Figures, Things), which was attended by leading figures in culture, art, and journalism such as Ferruccio de Bortoli, Umberto Eco, Paolo Fabbri, Valerio Adami, and Carlo Arturo Quintavalle. He died in Milan on September 25, 2002 at the age of 75. Umberto Eco said of him: " a writer who paints, a painter who writes ."
