Benni is not afraid to pick the obvious (as our expert on France was afraid to pick the Eiffel Tower, or the French Revolution, as prototypical for that country).
Benni starts to show us his audacity and creativity, as this is not a photograph per se but a still from a movie, specifically from Roberto Rossellini's 1945 film "Rome, Open City." It shows Anna Magnani running down the street, screaming, just before the German soldiers turn and shoot her.
Benni claims that De André was a modern-day successor to the troubadours, with a unique feel for dialects and Mediterranean rhythms.

 CD Review of Umberto Petrin - Particles on Splasc(H) Records @ jazzreview.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
On this solo release, the artist melds original compositions with works by Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy and of course the title track which is a Cecil Taylor composition.
No doubt, Petrin possesses acute rhythmical sensibilities, evidenced by his interesting reconstructions of Monk’s “Four in One,” and “Misterioso.” Yet, with the latter, poet Stefano Benni recites verse atop Petrin’s solo piano work, but if you don’t understand Italian, it is all reduced to being rather inconsequential at best.
One of the surprises here is Petrin’s delicately fabricated balladry on singer Tom Wait’s piece titled “Steel Away.” As this album highlights Petrin’s multifarious craft where he interconnects high-octane stride motifs, with a heavy-handed attack, amid dashing arpeggios and more.

 World Literature Today: Stefano Benni. Saltatempo.(Book Review)@ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A POPULAR AND SKILLFUL master of political satire--which he always manages to infuse with a dose of the fantastic (ranging from his earlier works, like Terra, to the more recent Bar Sport)--Stefano Benni now offers his readers a surprising new fiction that some may consider atypical of his preceding work, but is it?
With Saltatempo, Benni has indeed surprised readers accustomed to his postmodern ironic and parodic caricatures of contemporary Italian society (in the style of Stranalandia and Spiriti).
