TALK
Fondazione Home Movies presents Niente che è vivo si perde (Nothing That Lives Is Ever Lost)
with a live soundtrack by Dino Piccinno and Leonardo Vita (Conservatorio di Bologna’s Electroacoustic Improvisation class)
Saturday 20th June h. 9 pm
This archival selection is dedicated to the memory of joy, movement, and the rhythm of life: dives, races, jumps, somersaults, dances, and ring dances flow through film reels from years long gone, yet never truly lost. Memories that cross eras and pulse from the past into our present, inspired by the memory of Goliarda Sapienza. Niente che è vivo si perde (Nothing That Lives Is Ever Lost) pays tribute to her vital, luminous, and incisive literature: a form of writing that neither knows nor wishes to separate thought from gesture, or life from art.

Fondazione Home Movies
Fondazione Home Movies – Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia in Bologna is the first Italian archive dedicated to the preservation, digitisation, and promotion of private and amateur cinema. Founded in 2002, it preserves more than forty thousand small-format films from across Italy. Through digital projects, educational activities, and the festival Archivio Aperto, it promotes and makes accessible private audiovisual memory as a historical, social, and creative heritage, encouraging both research and contemporary reuse.

Dino Piccinno
Dino Piccinno is an electronic musician specialised in electroacoustic improvisation and a graduate of the Conservatorio “G.B. Martini” in Bologna. His artistic research is based on the use of synthesizers and amplified objects subjected to sound processing. He has taken part in festivals, concerts, and performances, collaborating with organisations and events such as Tempo Reale, RoBot Festival, and Milano Fashion Week, while also developing live sets connected to the underground electronic music scene. His musical practice combines experimentation, live performance, and sound research, moving across artistic, theatrical, and club culture contexts. He also has expertise in sound design, audio programming, and the construction of interactive devices.

Leonardo Vita
Leonardo Vita is a composer, improviser, and sound artist active in electroacoustic music and sonic experimentation. Balancing composition and improvisation, he explores the relationships between gesture, physical environment, and soundscape through field recordings, prepared and extended instruments, electronic devices, creative coding, and graphic scores. He is part of several ensembles, including Vita-Sabato, Siano-Vita, Le O.R.E., BlueRing Improvisers Orchestra, BIG, Fonterossa Open Orchestra, and OEOAS, performing both in Italy and abroad. Alongside his live practice, he composes for films, documentaries, theatre, and multidisciplinary performances, and is co-curator of the project Ecologie Acustiche. His publications include the albums Mesopotamia and Xenia, as well as the volume Enzo Del Re: Il cantaprotestautore corpofonista.
