Abbecedario per il mondo nuovo –Nibbio
Nibbio by Luca Tazzari, with Alfonso De Vreese
Podcast on Spreaker from Saturday 15th May 2021
“Nibbio” (the Italian word for the bird of prey known as the kite) was the first word that came to mind and the only one that remained (following a lengthy processed that is not worth going into), the only word for which my heart skipped a beat when I found it. This skipped beat was the cue for the creation of the text in its current form. I submitted to this sense of intuition and to these sensations of the heart because I felt the need to explain a concept that is too important to study fully, and too unknown to explain differently. I don’t know if I would still say what I said then, if I would say it in this way, or whether the concept is clearer to me now, and in the end, no-one really has a clear idea of what they are saying. Perhaps I wouldn’t write it, but I would certainly have something else to say, and I’m not sure whether I would say it, or write it. Like the kite, it’s something that is part of zoology, of the world and of the heart. Luca Tazzari
Synopsis
The kite hunts, flies, broods, crosses the sky, follows its divine teachings and has feathers.
