ABOUT GIORGIO LANZANI
(Versione italiana)

I was born in Milan, where I lived, wrote music and drew until 1972. I then moved to Venice where I wrote my first collection of poems, IL MATTO E LA LUNA (The Fool and The Moon), issued as a black box of poems and photographs.

In 1982 I recorded a collection of songs, UN SOGNO IN MEZZO AL MARE (A Dream in the Middle of the Sea), a rock blues record played by the Banda Lanzani, a rock band which never existed, produced by an imaginary recording company: Vecchio Scarpone (Old Boot).

In 1984 I created my second collection of poems, conceived as a white box: STRADE PARALLELE (Parallel Roads).

In April 85 I finished recording my second collection of songs, VOR IHREM GEBURTSTAG (Birthday's Eve). I composed the music and Daniela De Meo wrote the lyrics. The name of the imaginary band was Parsifal.

I published my third collection of poems AMORE COSMICO (Cosmic Love) in 1986, a silver box which I presented on the occasion of my first multimedia exhibition in Venice, at the Scoleta of the Church of San Zaccaria in August of that year. The title of the exhibition of poems, music, photographs and drawings was SENZA RADICI (Rootless).

I wrote my most recent collection of poems in 1989: a gold box entitled IL SANTO E L'EROE (The Saint and the Hero).

In December 1996 I presented my first work of sacred music: a Ave Maria sung by the choir of Travo under the direction of Andrea Zermani in the church of Travo (Piacenza).

A PATER NOSTER for a polyphonic choir and a STABAT MATER  for voice and string orchestra were presented, in the church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice in Jesolo, at Easter 1999, along with the Latin version of the Ave Maria and a VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS for voice and organ.

Always in Jesolo I wrote a story titled THE SYNDROME OF THE SWALLOW   (Translation of  Mattew Mc Parland), a project for a film with my music like resonant column. 

In the summer of 2002 I have written some stories for children, UNCLE’S GEORGE STORIES from that was stroke a book in the month of December 2005. 

In the month of November of 2003 I have finished to compose a CONCERT CONCERTO PER PIANOFORTE E ORCHESTRA . 

From the January 2004 until the month of July 2006 I have working to the mine first lyric work:  HAMLET a reduction of mine in English of the shakespearian text. 

Finally an ANTIGONE that I have just finished and that is composed on the complete translation of the text of Sophocles of the professor Ian Johnston.
