Biography

Menotti Lerro was born to Omignano in the Salerno Province. Son of Pietro Lerro, a carpenter, and Rosanna Pinto, a seamstress, he started to write poems when he was seventeen, as he stated in different volumes and interviews. The first componiment was titled "Ceppi incerti" (in English: "Uncertain stumps"), wrote in front of the fireplace of his parents' home. With this, he wanted to suggest both: that his life was as difficult to burn well as those wooden logs in the chimney pot, and that his poetry was still not really ready. He went then to study at Università degli Studi di Salerno where he got his first degree. [1] He has got three sisters older than him: Melinda, Romina and Lucrezia. Lucrezia is also a poet and writer. [2] [3] Large part of his work is dedicated to the figure of his father. In particular there are clear autobiographical references in the semi-autobiographical novel Augusto Orrel: memorie d'orrore e poesia (Joker: 2007) and in the poetry collections Il mio bambino (Genesi: 2011) and Nel nome del padre (Genesi: 2012). In addition, strong allusions to his father and his chronic health problems are also in the theatrical volumes Il gorilla (Genesi: 2015) and Donna Giovanna (Zona: 2015). [4] [5] In 2020 the native municipality gives him the title of Honorary citizen. In that occasion, one of his aphorisms, written in a mosaic, was put on the wall of the council chamber, saying: "Non bisogna aver paura dei sogni, ma di chi non vuole farci sognare" (In English: "We shouldn't be afraid of dreams, but of those who don't want us to dream"). [6] [7]

Education and career

Lerro studied English and Spanish languages and literatures at University of Salerno, starting in 2000, and received his degree in 2004. [8] [9] During this time he spent seven months in Oxford as an exchange student. [10] [11] In 2006, after working one year in Milan for Mondadori publishing house, he received a scholarship from the University of Salerno to study abroad and began his masters' degree in "The Body and Representation" at the University of Reading [12] under the supervision of Carolyn Williams Lyle. [13] He later received the expert status of “Cultore della Materia” at the University of Salerno [14] [15] and in 2010 became visiting scholar at the University of Reading, where he undertook postgraduate teaching. [16] Later, after completing his PhD in English and Spanish literature at the University of Salerno, under the supervision of Maria Teresa Chialant and Giuseppe Gentile (academic), he became a visiting scholar at the University of Warwick (2014) [17] and at the University of Edinburgh (2020). [18] He taught English Culture and Civilization and English Literature at Ciels University of Milan for four years (2014–2018) [19] before moving to Padua to teach the same subjects. He collaborated and taught lessons at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Accademia Albertina and IULM University. [20] [21] In 2022 he received a degree in Italian Studies (In Italian: "Lettere"). [22]

Enrolled in the register of journalists since 2005, in 2022 he started writing opinion pieces for the Italian newspaper Affari Italiani. [23] [24]

Critical response to his literary work

According to Andrew Mangham: "Menotti Lerro is one of the most interesting poets in modern-day Europe". [25] Lerro has also been praised by the Italian influential critic Giorgio Barberi Squarotti, who defined him as "brillant". [26] In addition, the same Squarotti, wrote a preface at Lerro's collection of poetry titled Gli occhi sul Tempo, Manni editore, 2009. [27] In 2012, Roberto Carifi referred to Lerro as "one of the most interesting poets of the current Italian panorama" in the magazine "Poesia" (Crocetti editore). [28] Moreover, Alessandro Serpieri (writer), known for his work about William Shakespeare and Emeritus Professor at the University of Florence in the end of his preface at Poesie scelte of Lerro (Zona: 2010) stated that "Between despair and dreaming, the poetic voice of Lerro shows a peculiar, expressive power modulated with images (that are often surprising) and a techniques in rhyme and metre that is often masterful". [29]

One of his 2015 dramas, Donna Giovanna, l'ingannatrice di Salerno , was the subject of a Master's degree from a student of the University of Palermo. The same dissertation became the basis for a critical volume about the figure [30] [31] [32] of a female [33] [34] and bisexual Don Giovanni, [35] first performed at the Biblioteca Marucelliana. [36] [37] [38] Maria Teresa Chialant, Professor of English Literature at the Università degli Studi di Salerno stressed the "deep complexity" of Lerro's writing in the review of his dystopian novel 2084: Il potere dell'immortalità nelle città del dolore . [39] In 2009, in the critical volume Gli occhi sulla critica (Zona: 2009) edited by Maria Rosaria La Marca, Nelo Risi stressed that in the poetry of Lerro there were "few illusions, and minimal comforts"; Cesare Segre defined Lerro's poetry "challenging"; Valerio Magrelli affirmed he was "particularly struck by Lerro's poems"; Guido Ceronetti sent his "best wishes to this melancholy twilight voice"; Alessandro Serpieri (writer) said that Lerro had "an authentic poetic voice". [40] In 2008 Mondadori’s literary magazine Nuovi Argomenti selected Lerro as one of the poets to represent the new generation of poets born in the 1980s. [41] [42]

Empathic Movement / Empathism / New Manifesto of Arts

The Empathic Movement, or Empathism (Italian: La Scuola Empatica / Empatismo) [63] is a literary, artistic, philosophical and cultural movement born in Italy in 2020 [64] [65] within the ‘New Cultural Triangle of Ancient Cilento’: (Omignano – "The Aphorisms Village", [66] [67] Salento, Cilento – "The Poetry Village", Vallo della Lucania – "Seat of Contemporary Arts Centre"). [68] [69] Starting with the values and ideas expressed in the New Manifesto of Arts [70] written by Menotti Lerro and Antonello Pelliccia in 2018. [65] [71] The manifesto - launched in 2019 at the literary Caffè Giubbe Rosse [72] in Florence and at the Brera Academy in Milan [73] - places empathy and the need to feel close, at the centre of the self, in contrast to previous views as isolated artists. It proposes that any creative or didactic experimentation cannot be separated from a process of identification with other's life stories. The manifesto further implies a civil promotion of the artistic society from individual and community growth, according to ethical purposes mediated by art. [74]
