[New-Poetry] the Blanton Museum Project

[Anny Ballardini]

As a matter of fact, now that I think of it, I was just invited by the
Diocese Museum in Trento to commemorate Vittoria Colonna. The idea came to
the director thanks to an exhibited small sculpture by Michelangelo, artist
who loved the poet and portrayed her. I read a couple of poems in Italian
for Colonna (one published on the local newspaper) and my Apocalypse to
honor the Museum.
