| ARTURO
LINI was born in Volterra in 1948, one of the most fascinating
medieval Italian place. Later the family moved to Versilia, on the Tuscany
coast, where he lives up to the mid-seventies when he moved to Florence,
in the historic district of Santa Croce.
He graduated from the Institute Paladini, in Lucca, and from Advertising
Academy School in Rome. In love with the poetic word he has participated
in the experimental poetry of the seventies. Subsequently has taken part
in the artistic movement of visual poetry, coming to a painting composed
of primordial signs and pictographs. He has participated in prestigious
exhibitions, artistic events and performances. In 2003 he has founded
Poesianet.it, a site dedicated to the digital poetry.
