Patrizia Vicinelli

Patrizia Vicinelli (Bologna, 23 August 1943 – 9 January 1991) was an Italian poet, writer, artist and actress.

She enrolled at the University of Bologna with the ambition to become a Literare Professor but never completed her studies.

In 1966, she attended a conference held in La Spezia by the avant-garde literary group Gruppo 63 [it] and was later invited to become a member.

Her work in experimental theatre and contemporary music brought her to collaborate with poets and writers such as Emilio Villa, Adriano Spatola and Franco Beltrametti.

She also performed in avant-garde films such as In viaggio con Patrizia (1965) and Virulentia (1967) by Alberto Grifi; La Notte e il giorno by Gianni Castagnoli (1967); and Toxic Love by Claudio Caligari (1983).
