Life
Lanzani was born in Milan on December 23rd, 1948, where he lived, wrote music and drew until 1972. He then moved to Venice where he wrote his first collection of poems, The Fool and the Moon, issued as a black box of poems and photographs. In 1982 Lanzani recorded a collection of songs, a Dream in the Middle of the Sea, a rock blues record played by the Lanzani Band, a rock band which never existed, produced by an imaginary recording company: Old Boot. In 1984 he created his second collection of poems, conceived as a white box: Parallel Roads. In April 85 he finished recording his second collection of songs, Vor Ihrem Geburtstag (Birthday’s Eve). Lanzani composed the music and Daniela De Meo wrote the lyrics. The name of the imaginary band was Parsifal. He published his third collection of poems Cosmic Love in 1986, a silver box which he presented on the occasion of his first multimedia exhibition in Venice, at the Scoleta of the Church of San Zaccaria in August of that year. The title of the exhibition of poems, music, photographs and drawings was No Roots. He wrote his most recent collection of poems in 1989: a gold box entitled The Saint and the Hero. In December 1996 Lanzani presented his first work of sacred music: an Ave Maria sung by the choir of Travo under the direction of Andrea Zermani in the church of Travo (Piacenza). A Pater Noster for a polyphonic choir and a Stabat Mater for voice and string orchestra were presented, in the church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice in Jesolo, at Easter, this year, along with the Latin version of the Ave Maria and Veni Creator Spititus for voice and organ. His most recent creation is a tale called "La Sindrome della Rondine" (The Syndrome of the Swallow), a project for a film with my music. Lanzani is currently working on a piano music.
