I just got the sad news from Rita degli Esposti of the death of my old and dear friend Marilú Parolini. Maria Ludovica Parolini, detta Marilù, fotografa di scena e sceneggiatrice, nasce a Cremona nel 1931. Still photographer, writer, actress: you can find her traces on The Internet Movie Database but you won’t find her throaty voice and laugh, nor her performances with Rita at those great Festivals of the late 1980s in Parma and Milan, nor her courage during the final years of illness and almost isolation. Silk against metal and sand. Ciao, cara mia, ci vediamo.

Jane Dalrymple-Hollo just sent me this photo she took of Anselm and me at breakfast at their hotel in Brighton a couple of weeks ago.
