ATELIERSI
The Map of the Heart by Lea Melandri

created and performed by Fiorenza Menni and Andrea Mochi Sismondi
voice Francesca Pizzo
music arranged and reworked by Vincenzo Scorza and Mauro Sommavilla
with thanks to Lea Melandri for sharing her thinking, her support and her ability to challenge established frameworks

In the mid-1980s, the weekly magazine Ragazza In made the radical decision to entrust Lea Melandri, one of the leading figures of Italian feminism, with a correspondence column. Rather than replying directly to individual letters, she opened up a dialogue with young readers, effectively creating an early social network. Following the “scandalous reversal of the relationship between the individual and culture” pursued by Lea, Ateliersi takes an emotional journey through those letters, weaving together the urgencies and sonic daring of that era with their resonances in the present.
