Ricciotto Canudo was born on Jenuary, 2nd 1877 in Gioia del Colle.

He moved first to Florence where he studies oriental languages: Chinese and

Japanese.

He was near all of the avantgarde: art criticism, literary aesthetics, music and film. He was a

journalist, reporter, writer and philosopher.

He always considered him to be neither French or Italian, but

“mediterranean” and “latin”, a son of south that forced him to emigrate, to look elsewhere for the fulfilment (implementation)

of his cultural dreams.

Culture’s proper role was the union of

peoples even those with the most different

ideologies; Canudo wanted to banish war

and violence.

We are proud of bringing the name of Canudo!
