About the Item
Autograph Letter Signed by Alberto Savinio to the Countess A.L Pecci-Blunt.
1934 c.a. In Italian. One page, single-sided. Excellent condition, including original envelpe.
The Italian intellectual informs the countess and patroness of the arts that one of his manuscripts, likely Capitan Ulisse, has been printed and the literary conference of Paul Valery, organized by the Countess, had just been published.
Alberto Savinio, pseudonym of Andrea Francesco Alberto de Chirico (Athens, 1891 - Rome, 1952)
The Italian writer, painter, playwright and composer, Alberto Savinio, as well as brother of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico, chose his stage name in 1914 when he published Les chants de la mi-mort in the magazine Les Soirées de Paris. He returned permanently to Italy in 1933, thus he collaborated with the newspaper "La Stampa" with a column, "Guard tower" (1934-1940). From 1934 he moved to Rome. In 1938, André Breton included him (the only Italian) in the Anthologie de l'humour noir. In the capital he collaborated at the Leo Longanesi's weekly Omnibus, for which he wrote in 1939 a piece of satire on Leopardi's gluttony (Leopardi's sorbet) which cost him the antipathies of the fascist regime.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Best-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 Aldo Palazzeschi!

Alberto Savinio
Alberto Savinio was an Italian artist, writer, painter, musician, journalist, essayist, playwright and a set designer. He was born on August 25, 1891, in Athens. He was well-known as the younger brother of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico. His works were more focused on philosophical and psychological features and are inspired by them, as he was also interested in the philosophy of art. According to the art historian Jean Clair, the artworks of Savinio and Giorgio de Chirico were the base of both the surrealist movement and magic realism. He died on May 5, 1952, in Rome.
