Life

Sarenco began experimenting with visual poetry when he was eighteen. With Eugenio Miccini , Luciano Ori , Lucia Marcucci , Giusi Coppini , Michele Perfetti and Lamberto Pignotti , he formed an artist group that was active in Florence and became known as Gruppo 70 . The group published radical, politically oriented works and poems and, until its dissolution in 1977, edited the literary magazine Lotta Poetica .

In addition, Saranco founded two other magazines - Amodulo (1968) and Factotum art and founded three publishing houses ( Edizioni Amodulo , 1969, SAR.MIC , 1972 and Factotum art ). In Brescia he opened visual poetry galleries ( Sincron , 1967, Amodulo , 1970 and Studio Brescia , 1972) and organized numerous exhibitions. He was also significantly involved in the organization of the Centro di Paolo Berardelli and the Archivio Denza di poesia visiva . From the late 1980s he oversaw several exhibitions in northern Italy, including Poesia visiva 1963-1988, 5 Maestri: Ugo Carrega , Stelio Maria Martini , Eugenio Miccini , Lamberto Pignotti , Sarenco in Verona and Poesia totale. 1897-1997: Dal Colpo di Dadi alla Poesia Visuale in Mantua.

In addition, Sarenco made several films during this time, including Collage (1984), In attesa della terza guerra mondiale (1985), Benvenuto grande cinema (1987), Pagana (1988), Safari (1990) and Performance (1993). From 1982 he made several trips to Africa and lived in Kenya for a long time. The result of his interest in African art was La platea dell'Umanità , an ensemble of 300 works by Kenyan artists, which he presented at the Biennale di Venezia . In 2006 he founded the Malindi Biennale in Kenya, which he oversaw for four years.
