Anatol Yusef Reads Gabriele Tinti's Poem at British Museum in 'The Poet'
Over a year ago, British actor Anatol Yusef, celebrated for his roles in Boardwalk Empire and The Preacher, delivered a reading of a poem by Gabriele Tinti, an Italian author, at the British Museum, captured in the video titled 'The Poet'. This poem draws inspiration from the Arundel Head sculpture and is part of Tinti's 'Rovine' (Ruins) project, which includes works based on ancient art. Tinti has worked alongside actors such as Joe Mantegna and institutions like the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2018, 'Rovine' received the Premio Montale Fuori di casa per la poesia and was chosen for the Getty Villa collections, fostering a dialogue from the 'Plato in LA' exhibition, as Tinti seeks to revive lost masterpieces.
