Case Study: Rino Vaghetti

Uliano Lucas, Rino Vaghetti poeta, 1960s



Milan shot from the air..Milan apartment window - shelters closed(the actor's face never shows up.. at home. dark atmosphere no sunlight - shelters closed.) wakes up (time 13:08) washes his hands and face. prepares coffee and fires up his cigarette with his coffee. takes out his pocket diary passes thru the pages where his poetries are on, writes 2 lines of poetry and then stop at the beginning of the 3rd line... nervously quits writing and stands up, walks to the window watching outside and repeats the rhymes. suddenly he turns back to the table where his diary is, grabs the pen and writes something but he dislikes.. crosses out the text. leaves the house.

walks in the street of milan slowly while watching around and continues murmuring. tries not to forget the rhyme he found. buys a newspaper - goes to park and sits down. while he is reading newspaper, takes out his pen and writes some rhymes on the newspaper... makes glasses to the photos to pass his time! then he stands up slowly put his newspaper under his arm and walks down the street.

comes to the bar... with a very bored look orders a bottle of drink - chats with the bartender... and with content he fires up a cigarette...

improvisionally he hear someone salutes him. “ciao rino”. camera starts to turn around him, while he is turning to the opposite direction. at that moment "flash" - someone is taking his picture.. uliano lucas.
