title: GESTURE INQUIRY - UNESCO 1958

subject date: 2014-09-04

caption: GESTURES Vittorio Gassman (1 September 1922 – 29 June 2000) performs the interpretation of theatrical gestures or ''tragic attitudes'' (Morrocchesi): hands gathered under the chin, tilted head, frowning face. Possible meaning: expression of disapproval or doubt; poorly concealed criticism; I haughtiness. The actor participated with other colleagues in the world survey on the value of the gesture in human culture promoted by UNESCO at the V International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences held in Philadelphia in 1956, and which for Italy was conducted by the anthropologist Romano Calisi (1931 - 1975) and the photographer Ando Gilardi. Subsequently, the director of the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions of Rome prof. Tullio Tentori (1920 - 2003), also an anthropologist, understanding the value of research, joined the group as conservator and archivist. An exhibition was also set up with the images from the investigation. Photography by Ando Gilardi (1921 - 2012) #andogilardi, Rome 1958
