Dancer/Model — Bari
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Anita, I’m from Bari.
What do you do?
I’m a contemporary dancer and model.
Describe your style in three words?
Free, cozy, colourful.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Maybe is not the best gig but is the one that I enjoyed the most. It’s Cosmo's Ultima Festa. One of my fav tracks is 'L'amore'.
If you could put any three bands in history on a lineup?
Deep Purple, Subsonica and Ratatat.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Rock, skinhead but also disco and yuppie.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Pino Daniele certainly, because he filled my soul with his music.
Where is your favourite independent venue in Italy?
Well, it’s actually a bit of a professional bias because I worked on it, but it’s the Apollo because it hosted events with DJs that made me scream and dance until morning.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
She is not unsung but I really love her poetry and for me, she’s a style icon. I talk about Ornella Vanoni.
