Giorgio Griffa with Gian Enzo Sperone in his gallery in Turin, 1969
A half-hour with Giulio Caresio
The atmospheres and tumultuous excitement of the Turin in which Giorgio Griffa grew up to become the painter that he is. Compelling memories of an amazing city, made up of places, happenings, and cherished collective rituals like going to galleries, a crossroads of diverse sensitivities and intelligence, between art, culture, theatre, poetry, literature, publishing, and politics. Stories of parallel worlds on apparently separate trajectories, whose paths nevertheless crossed in fertile and surprising, if sometimes unconscious ways.
