356 - TWO POSTERS: 1) CITY OF CENTO, AROLDO BONZAGNI AWARD, S. LORENZO AUDITORIUM, NOVEMBER 9–23, 1975. 1ST EDITION. (Siaca Graphic Arts). This is the official poster for the very first edition of the award, and its dimensions—100 x 70 cm—indicate that it was intended for public street or institutional display. 2) TRIBUTE TO CESARE ZAVATTINI, ALEMAGNA ON VIA MANZONI, NOVEMBER 6–18, 1979. DOCUMENTARY AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION. Dimensions: 49 x 70 cm. 1979 was a crucial and particularly complex year in the life of the Emilian intellectual and screenwriter Cesare Zavattini. It was precisely in that year, due to severe financial hardship, Zavattini was forced to sell and watch as his famous “Collezione Minima 8x10” was broken up—a collection unique in the world, consisting of approximately 1,500 miniature paintings and self-portraits that he had commissioned from the greatest masters of the 20th century (including Fontana, Burri, De Chirico, and Balla) beginning in 1941. The Milan exhibition in November thus took place at a time of intense public attention and intellectual solidarity toward him (Source: Cesare Zavattini Archive).
