Publisher's Synopsis
The Vita Nova project honors two great Italian writers, Umberto Eco (1932-2016) and Pier Vittorio Tondelli (1955-1991), through their respective works - Tondelli's novel, "Un weekend postmoderno. Cronache dagli anni Ottanta" (Bompiani, 1990), and Eco's essay, "The Vertigo of Lists" (Bompiani, 2009). In the search for a definitive form, and with the awareness that the list could be infinitely long, we have compiled a catalogue of 100 artists who have bridged the gap between the turn of the millennium and the birth of the contemporary art system.
