Pietro Sermonti returns from January 2nd on Prime Video with the second season of Accidental gigoloand in the meantime he talks about it in a long interview with Corriere della Sera. Between family memories, tormented adolescence and career, the actor retraces the decisive stages of his life, with his usual irony and cheekiness.
The relationship with the father
The report of Pietro Sermonti with his father Vittorio, a scholar and Dante scholar, he also moved on to football. «He dreamed of having a footballer son», he says, remembering how his father was his first fan, ready to accompany him «through all the fields in the Roman suburbs» since he was nine years old. A dream cultivated for a long time, given that Pietro was «one of the columns of the Tor di Quinto in Rome, I played with Materazzi: then he won the World Cup, while I became a family doctor”, jokes the actor.
However, the actor does not hide the more difficult sides of his adolescence. «I was very sad, angry, resentful. I was angry with the world like many teenagers, I went through great pain with my family (mourning the death of his sister at 4 years old, he was 5, ed) and I didn’t have the tools to manage it.”
«At 15 I was arrogant, arrogant, an asshole. With the aggravating circumstance that I was ignorant”, he recalls with regret.
School and university
Even the school career was anything but linear.
Pietro Sermonti says: «They failed me four times. I also did the double, the duplete, in the same year because at the French school I attended I also had to pass the Italian exam. I was desperate and my father consoled me: in 20 years you won’t even remember it. He was wrong, because I still remember it after 40 years.”
University arrives, but without a degree. Enrolled in political science, historical-political address, he quit with five exams to go: «This is the perfection of narcissism. I’ve been a Marxist to the core: I don’t need your piece of paper.” A choice that today he looks at with irony, aware that “while I was there I could have finished it”.
The death of his younger sister
In the interview with Specchio, released a few years ago, Pietro Sermonti spoke for the first time about the death of his younger sister: I lost my sister, very ill.”
Pietro says he has no great memories of the loss of his sister, but only “vague perceptions, clouded memories”. He then confesses that it took thirty years to process the painful loss. The actor also felt very guilty as a child: «In general, when attention is taken away from a child – even if, as in my case, another daughter’s illness – the latter ultimately wants the situation to end as soon as possible. When it really stops, the child thinks it was him, somehow. And he feels guilty.”
