About the Item
This is a Business Card by Guido Piovene with Autograph notes in black ink.
Venice, July 15th 1935.
On a cardboard business card (cm 6.2 x 8.5). Excellent condition, perfecly readable, including the original envelope (cm 10.3 x 16.8).
It is curious to note that the young journalist , Guido Piovene (Vicenza, 1907 - London, 1974), cancels the title of Count on this business card he sends to the Countess Pecci-Blunt. And Piovene adds heartfelt thanks and greetings by hand.
The background:
Four year before this correspondence, in 1931 Piovene published his first short stories in The Merry Widow, printed by the Buratti brothers. It took ten years for Piovene to publish his second work, Letters from a novice. But the Italian writer and journalist will be always remembered for his travel reportages: like "Viaggio in Italia" (1957), the most famous literary guide of the Bel Paese during the economic boom, originating from the RAI radio broadcast that Piovene held, from 1953 to 1956,along the whole peninsula from north to south, recounting the 'things seen'.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Better known as "Mimì" Pecci-Blunt , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, and Guido Piovene.
