Il Beat non appartiene solo al mondo anglofono, ma al mondo intero. Il saggio concerne i Beat iscritti nel panorama italiano, con nomi testi e citazioni dai principali autori e fornisce contesto storico della ribellione politica attuata dai Beat anche attraverso riviste artistico-sperimentali e manoscritti dimenticati . Tra i letterati illuminati: Fernanda Pivano (1917-2009), giornalista, curatrice di antologie, traduttrice e critico del lavoro dei Beat e dei film documentari e Gianni Milano, insegnante e poeta, il cui Uomo Nudo (1973) conferma le sue credenziali dell'underground. Diversi altri scrittori e artisti sono presi in considerazione, tra cui Pasolini con la sua ode per Ginsberg, il performer Cinieri che ha lavorato con la direzione della Palazzo, e Aldo Piromalli, autore dell'iconoclastico "Affanculo", espatriato in Olanda. Infine, completano il quadro donne scrittrici come Amelia Rosselli, Dacia Maraini e la sedicenne Tella Ferrari.
Beat has not only a place in the anglo-phonic world, but also worldwide. This chapter concerns the Beat inscribed in Italian, with names, texts and quotations from main authors. A historical context of how and when the "political rebellion" started is provided with old, forgotten MSS and artistic experimental magazines. Among its literary illuminati, Fernanda Pivano (1917-2009), journalist, curator of anthologies, translator, and critical contributor to the Beat works and documentary films. Gianni Milano, teacher-poet, and whose Uomo Nudo (Naked Man, 1973) was early to confirm his Beat underground credentials. A consortium of Beat sites and others writers come into consideration, like Pasolini with his love-ode to Ginsberg, performer Cinieri (with direction by Palazzo) and Aldo Piromalli, author of the iconoclastic “Affanculo,” onetime expatriate in the Netherlands, and co-reader of his work with Ginsberg. Finally, Beat-motivated women writers like Amelia Rosselli, Dacia Maraini and 16-year-old Tella Ferrari.

Abstract
Beat has not only a place in the anglo-phonic world, but also worldwide. This chapter concerns the Beat inscribed in Italian, with names, texts and quotations from main authors. A historical context of how and when the "political rebellion" started is provided with old, forgotten MSS and artistic experimental magazines. Among its literary illuminati, Fernanda Pivano (1917-2009), journalist, curator of anthologies, translator, and critical contributor to the Beat works and documentary films. Gianni Milano, teacher-poet, and whose Uomo Nudo (Naked Man, 1973) was early to confirm his Beat underground credentials. A consortium of Beat sites and others writers come into consideration, like Pasolini with his love-ode to Ginsberg, performer Cinieri (with direction by Palazzo) and Aldo Piromalli, author of the iconoclastic “Affanculo,” onetime expatriate in the Netherlands, and co-reader of his work with Ginsberg. Finally, Beat-motivated women writers like Amelia Rosselli, Dacia Maraini and 16-year-old Tella Ferrari.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
