Abstract
The study conducted gives us a non canonical reading about the Leonor Fini's activity as theatrical costume designer, with a special view to the shows performed between Rome and Paris from 1944 to 1969, while trying to develop a non-ordinary interpretive trajectory on this little explored area of her art.
In fact, using the artist's travesties trends - which have been found in Trieste, city where she absorbed a plurality of intellectual stimulus from the earliest age- as a starting point, the axis of the survey has arrived to the definition of her work as costume designer. The aim was to give an organic reading, to describe an orderly and reasoned development that, starting by transvestism, guides to theatrical costume's creation -which should be considered as a desired purpose- in an uniquely and extraordinary way.
Therefore, an analysis of some costume design sketches made for Italian productions and, on the other side, those for some French productions, has proposed. Many of these sketches are unpublished and, on previously studies, they have been victim of mistakes about the dating or the premiere's theatre.
Thanks to the building of a systematic itinerary on the existential essence in the costume design production, the contribution that this study attempts to give to finienne literature is interpretative, as far as chronological and recognitive .
Therefore, this study is about interconnections and touches between various research fields encompassed by this eclectic, cosmopolitan and magnetic, cultured and refined artist for which the costume's creation was a necessary goal to reach.
