\nThe present issue opens with the Foundation\u2019s President Paolo Picozza discussing the current state of scholarship on the de Chirico and the many initiatives launched in the ideal continuation of the celebrations for the Master\u2019s death 40th anniversary.
\nThe editorial is followed by Fabio Benzi\u2019s article, which tracks down influence on young de Chirico of the vibrant cultural milieu of the Greece capital, especially for his reading of Nietzsche.
\nGerman culture returns in Ara H. Merjian\u2019s dense essay, explores how de Chirico\u2019s Metaphysical imagery, contributed to profoundly influencing politicised representational strategies between the World Wars, with a specific focus on the less comprehensively studied rapport between Metaphysical aesthetics and left-wing, avant-garde experiments and visions of labor in 1920s Weimar.
\nUnpublished archival materials (here published in English) is at the core of Victoria Noel-Johnson\u2019s study documenting in great detail works by de Chirico in the collection of the Belgian collector and Surrealist art patron, Rene\u0301 Gaffe\u0301. Giorgia Chierici\u2019s investigation into the archival sources discovered in the Morgan Archives in New York and the sales records kept at the MoMA not only allows us to identify the works on display in de Chirico first American the exhibition at the Valentine gallery, but also helps trace down this other works gravitating around that venue and its merchants-owners: Valentine Dudensing and Pierre Matisse.
\nThe focus of Roberta Di Nicola\u2019s essay is a philosophical reading of de Chirico\u2019w work as theatrical set designer for D\u2019Annunzio\u2019s pastoral tragedy The Daughter of Iorio. The essay features unpublished correspondence between the Master and Silvio d\u2019Amico (translated into English) and an analysis of sketches of the play\u2019s costumes.
\nThe last article recounts an innovative experiment, entitled Hebdomeros + KikiTVisuoSonics, that has launched de Chirico directly into the future. Its authors, Maurice Owens and Russell Richards, have put forward an interpretation of Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s novel Ebdo\u0300mero, coupling an in-depth scholarly analysis with a pioneering use of digital technology.
