Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Ma chi se ne frega di Ulisse, ma vaffan****. Qui stiamo parlando della mia cavalla morta e tu mi parli di Ulisse…”: Elettra Lamborghini sbotta con Simona Izzo

La seconda puntata di Canzonissima, andata in onda il 28 marzo su Rai 1, prevedeva un tema preciso: dedicare una cover a qualcuno di speciale. Elettra Lamborghini ha scelto Alta marea di Antonello Venditti, portando sul palco un ricordo molto personale, quello della sua cavalla Lolita. “Per me è stata un vero amore. Avevo dieci anni quando me l’hanno regalata… Lei mi ha salvato la vita”, ha raccontato la cantante, visibilmente emozionata. Un racconto intimo, che si è chiuso con la voce rotta: “Non torno più a Bologna da quando lei non c’è più. Mentre ne parlo mi viene da piangere”.
Il commento di Simona Izzo fa arrabbiare Lamborghini
Il clima in studio, però, cambia subito dopo l’esibizione. La giurata Simona Izzo prende la parola e sposta l’attenzione sull’abito dell’artista, paragonandolo al mito di Ulisse e delle sirene. Un intervento che Lamborghini interrompe bruscamente: “Ma chi se ne frega di Ulisse, ma vaffan****. Qui stiamo parlando della mia cavalla morta e tu mi parli di Ulisse…”. Momento di tensione che spiazza lo studio e che viene subito ricondotto su toni più empatici da Francesca Fialdini, che torna sulla dedica e sul dolore raccontato dalla cantante. “Ti capisco perfettamente”, le dice, ricordando la perdita del suo gatto, e leggendo nell’abito quasi “uno scudo” dietro cui si nasconde ancora quel dolore. A quel punto Lamborghini si lascia andare alle lacrime: “Scusatemi, non piango mai, ma gli animali sono angeli”.

“But who cares about Ulysses, you bastard. We’re talking about my dead mare and you’re talking to me about Ulysses…”: Elettra Lamborghini explodes with Simona Izzo.

The second episode of Canzonissima, broadcast on March 28th on Rai 1, featured a specific theme: dedicating a cover to someone special. Elettra Lamborghini chose “Alta Marea” by Antonello Venditti, bringing on stage a very personal memory, that of her horse Lolita. “For me it was a true love. I was ten years old when they gave it to me… She saved my life,” the singer recounted, visibly moved. An intimate story, which ended with a broken voice: “I never come back to Bologna since she’s not there anymore. While I talk about her, I get the urge to cry.”

Commentary by Simona Izzo Angers Lamborghini
However, the atmosphere in the studio changes immediately after the performance. Judge Simona Izzo speaks and shifts the focus to the artist’s dress, comparing it to the myth of Ulysses and the sirens. An intervention that Lamborghini abruptly interrupts: “Who cares about Ulysses, go to hell. We’re talking about my dead horse and you’re talking to me about Ulysses…” A moment of tension that surprises the studio and is immediately brought back to more empathetic tones by Francesca Fialdini, who returns to the dedication and the pain recounted by the singer. “I understand you perfectly,” she says, remembering the loss of her cat, and reading in the dress almost a “shield” behind which that pain is still hidden. At that point, Lamborghini lets go of her tears: “Forgive me, I never cry, but animals are angels.”

Ulysses: Celebrating 100 years of a literary masterpiece – BBC

Ulysses: Celebrating 100 years of a literary masterpiece

1 February 2022.

By Colm Kelpie, BBC News, NI

In the spring of 1921, Paris bookseller Sylvia Beach boasted about her plans to publish a novel she deemed a masterpiece that would be “ranked among the classics in English literature”.

“Ulysses is going to make my place famous,” she wrote of James Joyce’s acclaimed and challenging novel, written over seven years in three cities depicting the events of a single day in Dublin.

And it did.

On 2 February 1922, Beach published the first book edition of Ulysses, just in time for Joyce’s 40th birthday.

Stylistically dense in parts, it tells the stories of three central characters – Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife, Molly – and is now celebrated as one of the world’s most influential texts.

‘Tosh’

TS Eliot, writing in 1923, believed Ulysses was “the most important expression which the present age has found”.

But the path to publication was not a smooth one. The novel sparked controversy and was greeted with revulsion by many – even among some in the literary community.

Virginia Woolf described it as “tosh”.

Parts had been serialised by US magazine Little Review in 1920, resulting in an obscenity trial that concluded with the editors being fined and ordered to cease further publication. It was also censured in Great Britain.

Beach, the owner of Shakespeare & Company on the Rue Dupuytren, was determined to have it published in book form, which she did, bankrolled in part by her own money on the promise of subscribers.

Writing about the task at the time, she said she had to “put every single centime aside to pay” the book’s printer.

Prof Keri Walsh, director of the Institute of Irish Studies at New York’s Fordham University, says Beach’s decision to publish turned her into a “culture-hero of the avant-garde.”

“There was a sense that people knew that this was going to be one of the defining books of modernism, so she understood that she would assure her own place in literary history by being the publisher of it,” Prof Walsh tells BBC News NI.

Joyce and Beach first met in 1920, not long after he moved to Paris.

He had long left Ireland in self-imposed exile, living in Trieste, Zurich and the French capital.

Beach described that meeting as a powerful moment, says Prof Walsh.

“Joyce was very tired at this point. He had spent so much time fighting to finish Ulysses, and get through [World War One] and survive, he felt she could provide some sort of stability and support for him and his family,” she adds.

“She was much more than a publisher – a banker, agent, administrator, friend of the family. For a very long time that relationship worked well.”

But following disputes over publishing rights, the relationship between Joyce and Beach soured and the latter ultimately ceded the novel’s rights, writes Prof Walsh in The Letters of Sylvia Beach.

Random House published Ulysses in 1934 after the US ban on publication was overturned the previous year.

That marketed it to a bigger audience, but it was 20 years before writers began to “claim” Joyce, says John McCourt, professor of English at the University of Macerata in Italy.

While Joyce was deeply frustrated by the reception Ulysses had received, he was equally unrelenting, adds Prof McCourt.

“He wouldn’t change a comma to make it more acceptable to whatever public taste deemed was OK.

“He saw himself becoming a cause celebre and played it for all it was worth.”

Tips for reading (or attempting to read) Ulysses

Prof John McCourt, University of Macerata, Italy

Nobody is fully prepared to read the book.

If you know something about music that would be a big help.

If you know something about Ireland and its history, that would help.

Don’t try and read it too quickly. Read it out loud as it does come alive.
