Goodbye Suso Cecchi D'Amico - 1914/2010
ROME – Screenwriter Suso Cecchi D'Amico, who emerged from the male-dominated post-war Italian cinema to become a celebrated artist and contribute to such milestones as "Bicycle Thieves" and "The Leopard," died Saturday at age 96.
Cecchi D'Amico died in her hometown, Rome, the ANSA news agency said, citing her family. No cause of death was given.
Cecchi D'Amico worked with some of the most renowned Italian directors, including Franco Zeffirelli, Michelangelo Antonioni and Mario Monicelli, whose movie "Casanova 70" earned her an Oscar nomination.
She was equally successful at writing scripts for neo-realistic movies, art-house films and comedies such as "Big Deal on Madonna Street." Her work helped make the Italian post-war movie scene a vibrant and innovative one.
"It was an extraordinary generation, not just for cinema," said longtime friend Monicelli, himself in his 90s.
"That generation grew out of dramatic events such as Fascism and war," he said, but "those minds put Italy back on its feet, finding a new way to do things, to produce."
A long partnership with Luchino Visconti became a defining element in Cecchi D'Amico's career, spanning more than two decades and several movies. Among other titles, she contributed to "The Leopard," the sumptuous depiction of the decline of a Sicilian aristocratic family based on the book by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and starring Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon.
President Giorgio Napolitano said Cecchi D'Amico was a "great protagonist of one of the best seasons of Italian cinema."
Claudia Cardinale, who starred in "The Leopard," praised her deep culture and generosity. Zeffirelli called her "an extraordinary screenwriter" but also a good-hearted woman who was "a mom and a sister to all of us."
Born Giovanna Cecchi in 1914 to a family of writers and intellectuals, she began working in cinema soon after the war. She quickly landed a high-profile job helping write the script for Vittorio De Sica's "Bicycle Thieves," which was released in 1948 and became a manifesto for neo-realism.
She went on to a long career during which she often adapted literary works, including "The Stranger," "The Taming of the Shrew" and books by Dostoevsky and Pirandello.
Cecchi D'Amico won several Italian awards and in 1994 the Venice Film Festival gave her a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.
ANSA said she is survived by her three children. A funeral is scheduled for Monday in Rome.

italian text:
E' morta a Roma Suso Cecchi D'amico: aveva 96 anni.
Nata nella capitale nel 1914 dallo scrittore Emilio Cecchi e dalla pittrice Leonetta Pieraccini, fu collaboratrice prediletta di Luchino Visconti. Oltre a 'Bellissima' (del 1951), lavora con il grande regista per 'Senso', 'Gattopardo', 'Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa', 'Lo straniero', 'Ludwig', 'Gruppo di famiglia in un interno' e 'L'innocente'.
Raffinata sceneggiatrice e autrice tra le più feconde e di successo del cinema italiano, fa il suo esordio con il film di Renato Castellani 'Mio figlio professore' nel 1946.
Durante la sua stagione neorealista collabora con maestri come Luigi Zampa, Ennio Flaiano, Cesare Zavattini. Lavora con Antonioni, Rosi, Blasetti. E ancora con Eduardo de Filippo, Franco Zeffirelli (per 'Fratello sole e sorella luna' e 'Gesu' di Nazareth'), Lugi Comencini, Festa Campanile, Michelangelo Antonioni e Vittorio De Sica.
Nel 1994 la mostra di Venezia le ha conferito il Leone d'Oro alla carriera.
I funerali si svolgeranno lunedì alle 11 nella chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo a Roma.
''Appresa con sincera commozione la triste notizia della scomparsa di Suso Cecchi D'Amico, grande protagonista delle stagioni più alte della storia del cinema italiano, nel ricordo delle numerose occasioni d'incontro che gli hanno permesso di apprezzare la sua cultura e finezza umana'', il presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano ha espresso in un messaggio ''i suoi sentimenti di profonda partecipazione al grande dolore della famiglia''.
Kate Moss by Mario Testino
Beginning of the week Taschen has published Kate Moss by Mario Testino in a limited edition of 1500 copies, each numbered and signed by the photographer.
"I've known Kate for 20 years (our first job was for French Glamour when she was only 15) and the friendship I share with her is very intense. It's a different sort of friendship. It's not like I see her every weekend, or we go out every night, but when we see each other, it's always the same. - Mario Testino for British Vogue, August 2010 Issue.

Series 'ARTISTS WITH TWO T'S FOR TIRING"
From early days or civilization , the human being has felt the need to call attention upon him or herself, to be recognized in either a positive or negative way, with the evident intention or desire of leaving his or her mark on the canvass provided by his or her habitats elements.
From the cave’s walls of ancient times to a contemporary poster, magazine or the city’s walls , even though not his nor her property, the fact of their availability makes it possible to place his or her personal mark, making it his or her own , and without asking for permission finds the way to say “I was here”.
Since Pablo Picasso or Marcel Duchamp, artists have intervened on other artist’s works, and giving them a twist, make them their own, adding trough their personal touch their vision of the cherry on top of the cake.
Some people have the opinion that art is created by the need to express personal contents and ideas on public places and images of public people; from graffiti, that as a form or urban expression has always physically been present in the place where our daily life flows, to modifying an image found in a magazine , which while belonging to a despised or admired person, our feelings trigger our imagination and traps us in the adventure of possessing and modifying it; in the first case satirizing it when we add to it a mustache or a black eye or tooth, or in the former showing our love or predilection as we place on its head a royal crown and surround it with hearts just as we did in our high school notebooks, or which we kept the images of our favorite tv or movie stars, cut from magazines and adorned with our own symbolisms; while doing that, we immersed ourselves in the image and became a part of the team of designers, stylists and makeup artists and with them became the fantasy architects which now becomes our own and when we finish we are able to say to ourselves: Here is my work of art!
In my work , public persons from the show world as Penelope Cruz, Amy Winehouse , Kate Moss and many others appear showing their success and valves as well as their dark side ( also public ) and with them visions of show business and Hollywood life merge with the real everyday life while creating a fusion of these so very opposite worlds.
Why these stars? Because they are persons who have an important influence in our contemporary society, and it is when I introduce them, a duo with them when I praise and satirize, I highlite the reasons for their public adoration and in other instances, like the case of Ms. Paris Hilton, in which I show the tiredness of her saturated image in a comical, satirical portrait.
Each of the pieces is mixed media, using digital drawing and materials like color sprays and pastel. Each drawing comes with two “slogan” phrases , so we are talking about a triptych for each drawing, setting the drawing in the middle of the two legends, or just the drawing if the curatorial staff considers it that way , I’m open to the curatorial opinion.
