The Map of the Heart / of Lea Melandri

Where is the place where Duran Duran can meet Jean-Luc Godard, where the advice of the endocrinologist bump into The Devil in Body, where Siouxsie come across the tarot and a very young Meryl Streep?
In the many issues of Ragazza In, the 80s weekly teen magazine, among which pages the image of a society in complete transformation is captured.
A magazine that, at the end of the twentieth century, made the disruptive choice of entrusting Lea Melandri – a reference figure of feminism and the non-authoritarian movement – a correspondence column she called Inquietudini [Restlessness’s]. It gave her the opportunity to introduce a new approach: she didn’t respond directly to the one who wrote her, but she opened up to the confrontation with stimuli of a psychoanalytic, poetic and literary character. In so doing she put in relation the various voices thus creating a first social network between girls and boys who dialogued through his column.
Following the “scandalous inversion between individual and culture” pursued by Lea, Fiorenza Menni and Andrea Mochi Sismondi lead an emotional journey through those letters intertwining the adolescent urgencies of the time, the resonances present in it, the audacious sound darings of Mauro Sommavilla and Vincenzo Scorza and the vibrations of Simon Le Bon in the splendid voice of Francesca Pizzo.
