How To Shape A Resistol Hat

remember Gian Franco Lami

Two episodes to remember Gian Franco Lami, who died suddenly at age 65 last Sunday. The interview released on TG1 in 2008 during the course of the conference evolved "Evola and Policy", organized every two-year fixed Alatri. The gift of synthesis and at the same time engaging enthusiasm. The same enthusiasm that poured some months after the province of Rieti in the presentation of my book on the dispute ( 1968. The origins of the global context ), kindly invited by his former students at the University of Rome .
In these few lines is the Lami I met, the student of Julius Evola, an academic who makes his contribution to the "Fondazione Julius Evola, a guide for students in search of literary emotions, a "method" experienced and confident. I wanted to - among the first - to answer questions from the book that I published in 2008 on Evola ( Master of Tradition), some of his wise answers. I also found a man inclined to joke. Evola, Lami was among the most renowned scholars. Taking care of the books in the series published by the Foundation, the "Library evoliana" introduced - among the first - the care of the historical context in an easy-to slogans and quotes motto. Among the few who really know Evola, he treasured the memory of "normal" for an old "philosopher"; this lesson of normal or nearly normal-Lami kept in mind when organizing the conference Alatri, inviting leading experts in the thought "Master of Tradition" from all cities of Italy. In the year that I attended (2008) were present among others, Giano Accame, Piero Di Vona, Renato del Ponte and Gianfranco de Turris .
de Turris is one of the most moving memories, "Lami has managed to appreciate a thinker as much indigestible Evola Italian Academy," a student of Augusto Del Noce has created around himself the "Roman school of political philosophy" sending out studies on anti-conformist authors who found it difficult to asylum anywhere else, and finally not entirely deaf to the enticements of the modern, he oversaw the site of the "Fondazione Evola" tests for entering students, correspondence, photographs, and new publications. And Vitaldo Conte, curator of the exhibition on Evola in 2005 to Reggio Calabria, recalls with emotion and intellectual Lami great organizer, "his thought was structurally traditional and elegant," she says, "but it was not deaf to innovative thinking." After Franco Volpi and Janus Accame, freedom of thought loses another of his most passionate bishops.
