Francesco Forlani (Caserta, 19 February, 1967) is an Italian writer.
Biography
He attended the Armando Diaz Scientific High School in his hometown, later moving to Naples, where he remained for three years as a student of the 1982-1985 course of the Nunziatella Military School.[1][2] He had a strong bond with the school.[3]
After deciding not to pursue a military career, he enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Naples "Federico II", where he graduated in 1991. Subsequently, he moved to Paris, where he undertook a path of literary growth, working simultaneously as a lecturer in Italian. Between 1995 and 2000 he was artistic director of Paso Doble magazine.[4]
Back in Italy, between 2004 and 2012 he was editor of the reborn magazine Sud.[5] Aimed at reviving the splendor of the first publication of the same name,[6] the magazine appeared in fifteen issues (with some articles published in Nazione Indiana) before exhausting its second cycle.[7] Under the direction of Forlani worked in the editorial board Antonio Ghirelli (already in the first Sud),[8] and the Neapolitan designer Marco De Luca. Among the prestigious names hosted by the magazine are Sylvano Bussotti, Ennio Cavalli, Aldo Clementi, Biagio Cepollaro, Alain Daniélou, Erri De Luca, Petr Král, Milan Kundera, Jean-Claude Izzo, Silvio Perrella, Felice Piemontese, Roberto Saviano, Domenico Scarpa, Wu Ming.[9] At the same time, he became a member of the editorial board of Nazione Indiana.[10]
In 2011 he published the novel Anybody searches anybody (Chiunque cerca chiunque) in a limited edition of 200 copies. The book is the final phase of an original literary journey, which started with a series of installments on Facebook, and then turned into a journey of delivery de visu of personalized copies to each of the readers. The book collects episodes of his Parisian experience, and has become a small literary case, attracting the attention of the press.[11]
In 2013 he published for the types of Laterza Paris, without passing from the start (Parigi, senza passare dal via), in which he took up the theme of urban travel in a Paris whose streets intertwine, between the unexpected and the probabilities, as Monopoly boxes.[12] In the same year he also participated, together with eleven other authors, including Michela Murgia, Cristiano Cavina, Giuseppe Culicchia, Valerio Aiolli, Mariolina Venezia, Roberto Perrone, Enrico Remmert and Carlo D'Amicis, in the editing of Tales in a bottle (Racconti in bottiglia) for Rizzoli-Corriere della Sera.[13][14] The following year, Red Manor (Rosso Maniero) was released, a mini-romance inspired and dedicated to the period spent as a student of the Nunziatella. In 2015 comes out The comunist dandy manifesto (Manifesto del comunista dandy), for the types of Miraggi Edizioni and homonymous of a previous book of 2007. It is about the amused and sometimes hallucinated anatomy of an imaginary and chimerical figure, straddling the left of the people and decadent elegance.[15]
Also active as a radio presenter, with Marco Fedele, he manages the transmission Cocina clandestina on Radio GRP.[16]
