Inganni

The merciless decline of a great poet, Dino Campana, author of the Canti Orfici, remembered more for his passionate relationship with Sibilla Aleramo than for the depth of his art. Locked up in an asylum in his early thirties, psychopathic yet brilliant, subjected to the cruel care of a doctor who would really like to rehabilitate him, Campana slides towards death with hallucinating determination, alternating delirium with flashes of lucidity, the memory of Sibilla with a poetic creativity stronger than his alienation.
