| Abstrakt: |
The essay aims to investigate the role of militant criticism played by Marisa Volpi Orlandini during the 1960s and her contribution to update the Italian public on contemporary artistic research, affirming her point of view in a constantly changing artistic-cultural scene. The study wants to highlight her formative years, her contact with some key figures such as Roberto Longhi, Carla Lonzi and Giulio Carlo Argan, and her path of militant criticism built with consistency and set on tradition and individual reworking of a method absorbed over time. A research developed thanks to the documents preserved over the years by the scholar and the numerous publications that saw her as a protagonist signing presentations in catalogs, essays and contributions in the main magazines and newspapers of the period.
