About the Item
Collect this unique Autograph Letter Signed by the Countess Pecci Blunt to Bruno Barilli “International Rapprochements”, written in Italian at the middle of 1930s.
Twelve pages, single-sided, on tissue paper. Very Good conditions, except for aging signs (the last page is uncomplete). Perfectly readable. Dated “Paris, July 5th”. Original envelope included.
This is the letter that Barilli always carried with him and that he returned to the Countess Pecci-Blunt a few months before his death, as reported on the autograph countess’ note on the envelope.
A touching letter of intent, in which the Countess asks to Barilli to write an article concerning the International rapprochement she was trying to obtain. Promoting Italian Culture was the mission of the Countess through different manifestations. She opened the Theatre La Cometa and founded La Cometa Gallery in 1935, until 1938, together with the Italian poet Libero de Libero. An internationl world was borning in Rome, in which artists and intellectuals like Afro, Mirko, Cagli Mafai, Guttuso and Capogrossi, Severini, Martini, Janni, Melli, Ziveri, Pirandello, Savinio graviteted. At the sime time the Countess, best-known as "Mimì" organised literary presentations by writers like Cecchi, Moravia, Montale, lectures by Valéry and Mauriac; music night or “I Concerti di primavera” (Springs Concerts”) by Stravinskij, Petrassi, Milhaud, Honegger, Poulenc, Auric at her Villa.
The Countess tells the journalist all the efforts she was making to emancipate Rome, to include the capital in the creative, international and modern environment. Denouncing the ignorance of journalists and critics, she relies on Bontempelli's wise writing and intelligence.
Collect this sort of Countess' will, and read it every time you would!

Italian writer and musician, Bruno Barilli was one of the founders of La Ronda; collaborator and music critic of numerous newspapers and magazines such as La Concordia, Il Tempo, Corriere italiano, Il Tevere, Gazzetta del Popolo; Liberal Risorgimento; Unita. The writing, the reports of concerts, travels and operas will lead Barilli to compose theatrical and chamber music. During the early decades of the twentieth century, he was living in the Villa Strohl Fern, and active in the Roman artistic circles that habitually met at the Caffè Aragno on Via del Corso, a café known as the rendezvous of the city's literary and artistic elite. Here he attended friends like Emilio Cecchi, Antonio Baldini, and Vincenzo Cardarelli, but also encountered Ungaretti, Carlo Socrate, Soffici, Pasqualina Spadini, Mario Broglio, Armando Ferri, Quirino Ruggeri, Roberto Longhi, Riccardo Francalancia, and Aurelio Saffi.
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.
