Giap/digest # 35 - A Tribute to Piermario Ciani - 25 September 2006
"As announced in the previous newsletter, we're celebrating our older brother Piermario Ciani (1951-2006), one of the founders of the Luther Blissett Project, as well as one of the most important (albeit invisible) artists - what an inadequate word - to ever come out of the Italian underground scene.
But first of all, please watch the video on the right.
You're going to see both Luther Blissett the multiple name and Luther Blissett the soccer player prominently featured @ "Fantasy Football League - Euro 2004", a British TV show on ITV, 29 June 2004. Duration: 07:25. To say the least, this clip demonstrates how we have impacted on popular culture in Britain. There's a moment in which Luther takes a book out of his pocket. It's a copy of Totò, Peppino e la guerra psichica, a Blissett anthology published in '96 by AAA (Piermario's own little publishing house), frontcover and layout designed by Piermario himself."
