“Panta” is a project to which Pier Vittorio Tondelli dedicated himself with the same enthusiasm and precision that had always distinguished his literary projects. For Tondelli “Panta” represented the possibility to undertake a dialogue between narrators that ” \u2026 is born from the comparison and the commitment of a group of Italian authors : that are between thirty and forty years old ; that have made their debut during the Eighties ; and that are recognised as ‘young writers’ or ‘new narrators’ “.<\/p>\r\n

The overall size of the magazine’s projection stage gives testimony to the many meetings that had been organised on a very wide basis of invitation. The outcome of those meetings is explained in the letter sent to the narrators on 12 June 1989. Tondelli wrote, “The project is taking shape ; on the one side, in a generational front regarding the authors and on the other side, in a series of strong ‘themes’ to be dealt with. We plan to put out three issues a year, each with a monographic theme. We wish to discuss all of this with you ; to hear your opinions, your suggestions and your potential commitment to writing and projecting the subsequent issues”.<\/p>\r\n

The writer was always clear regarding this aspect. Before the magazine came out in November of 1989 – in response to certain erroneous statements in an article entitled “Carta Paga” [Paper Pays] in the weekly magazine “Panorama” – he wrote, “I was not nominated by any director of “Panta” because the magazine – which comes out next January – does not follow a traditional type of direction but uses co-ordinators, who for the first issue are, besides myself, Elisabetta Rasy and Alain Elkann. None of us receives a salary for this work but a simple and laughable reimbursement of our costs. “Panta” is absolutely not the Italian version of “Granta”. As a publishing project, it is very different : it tends towards the generation of thirty to forty year olds ; it has a monographic or thematic structure ; and it is ‘managed’ by various alternating editors.<\/p>\r\n

The first issue, with the theme “La Paura” [Fear], was published at the end of January 1990. Tondelli contributed to the section “Biblioteca” [Library] with “Viaggio a Grasse” [Journey to Grasse], dedicated to Frederic Prokosch, whom the writer had wanted to interview. Even though Prokosch had died unexpectedly, Tondelli took the trip anyway and brought back a selection of interesting photographs that he had shot to accompany the text.
In November of 1992 – approximately a year after Tondelli’s death – the magazine published a monographic issue on him, which was edited by Fulvio Panzeri with numerous contributions, including those by ; Umberto Eco, Oreste Del Buono, Enrico Palandri, Fernanda Pivano, Aldo Tagliaferri, Gilberto Severini, Enzo Siciliano and Fran\u00e7ois Wahl.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
