History
History
The term Linea lombarda comes from a set of themes and authors, in which a typically Lombard “Weltanschauung” is combined. Thus, the authors of late romanticism, Scapigliatura and symbolism, futurism and magic realism are all represented. During the 1950s a group of writers, poets and critics (who were linked to the definition of the Lombard line) was formed. The group met at the Blue Bar in Milan, in Filippo Meda square. Among them were Luciano Erba, Vittorio Sereni and Piero Chiara.
