Flavio Costantini (1926 – 2013) ‘The Art of Anarchy’

Flavio Costantini was born in Rome, Italy, in 1926. He served in the Italian Navy before becoming a commercial graphic artist in 1955. He has illustrated several books including The Art of Anarchy (1974), The Shadow Line (1989) and Letters from the Underworld (1997).

More often than not it is the artist, writer or poet, rather than the historian or sociologist, who succeed in capturing the spirit of an age; in so doing, they make an important contribution to our understanding of society. Flavio Costantini is such a person. He sadly passed away on 20th May 2013.

classe: I personally took these pictures in an anarchic social centre in Bologna a few days ago, and I was wondering who the author was:

Che fanno?

Cancella il mondo, o Sdrènfano! Ti dico

cancella quest’ingubbio ammorboluto;

è inutile timpare a cianciafico

gli sbrègi d’un blafònfero fognuto.

Che fanno i morzacacchi, i gloriconi?

Strabiosciano in moffucci, in godicaglie.

Che fanno i migarelli? A strabuconi

gratterchiano le zocchie e le morgaglie.

Ahi Sdrènfano vantardo e carpiniero

strabasta con gli sbrilli e con le ciance.

È tempo, è metatempo, stratempiero:

cancella il mondo, Sdrènfano, stracance!
