His Savage Mistress

Gianni Menichetti is an Italian poet, artist and activist. He lives near Positano on the Amalfi coast in a wild valley with his large family of animals. Gianni was the long time lover of the fabulous Vali Myers, the stunningly talented Australian artist who discovered the Moorish pavilion many decades ago and made the valley her home. Gianni has been living alone in the valley for many years now and fights to keep this rare jewel of nature safe from developers. Gianni creates beautiful, delicate artwork, and booklets of poetry, which he sells to make his living and feed his animals. He has also written the definitive biography of Vali Myers. "Vali Myers, a memoir" which includes the classic love story of their long time relationship. Music by the Gaia Choir & Officina Zoe & Filmed on location by Danny Fitzgerald and Lina Eve.

Thanks for all the great posts! Gianni goes into the village to read them, and they really lift his spirits. You can see more of Gianni's art and read more of his poetry on his website. Just Google Gianni Menichetti, and you will find it. Anyone wanting to order a print of his art, or a book of his poetry can do so via his website too.

Mi sono permessa di creare una fan page su facebook per dare più visibilità al sito ufficiale e diffondere il messaggio dell'artista, ora non resta che chiedere un incontro e procurarsi scarpe comode! :)
