The Pigneto Film Festival is back, which from 15 to 22 June will welcome cinema enthusiasts to one of the most pop neighborhoods of the capital, where there will be screenings in different spaces and 5 young international filmmakers will shoot a short film in real time. Godmother of the event, Barbara Chichiarelliknown to the general public for the series “Suburra”, an actress much appreciated and requested by authors, from Ferzan Özpetek to the D’Innocenzo brothers and among the characters of the highly anticipated series, “M – the son of the century”, based on the novel by Darken up.
Godmother of the event, do you have a particular connection with Pigneto?
«I am proud to have been chosen, because I have a real connection with the neighborhood where I will move, I know it very well and I have many friends, among other things, in these days I will begin rehearsals for a show, which we will bring to Venice».
Speaking of theatre, constant research on your part.
«I have never stopped looking for theatre, I come from there and even if in recent years I have given priority to cinema, during the pandemic I told myself that it is something I no longer want to exclude from my life».
In autumn, a show on Alberto Sordi, what will it be like?
«It will debut in October at the Sala Umberto in Rome. We all know him as deaf, he has made 180 films as an actor and director, he is a complex character who has spanned the history of Italy, from Papal Rome to the present day. It will be a show in which this mammoth, brilliant, loved and hated figure is used as a pretext for a reflection on the world of art and on the difference between cultured and popular art that Sordi has embraced.”
We will see her in the series “M – the son of the century”, in which she plays Margherita Sarfatti, Mussolini’s lover and mentor. What do you have left of that character?
«Certainly, the fascination with the culture of this woman, who spoke 5 languages, was one of the first art critics in Europe, she supported many artists, then I don’t know how aware she was of where the partnership with Mussolini would lead or where he would have arrived, but we know that the break between them occurred long before the racial laws.”
What do you have left of the “Suburra” experience?
«I will always be grateful to Livia Adami, my character in the series. But now I want to move on.”
She believes a lot in the role of training and school, which she will talk about on stage in the monologue “Bad sensibility”. Where does this belief come from?
«I believe that it is essential to always study, I say this to all the kids who want to do this job, like Sordi who studied constantly and the school must be protected, I have many teacher friends and if there weren’t people with the vocation, we really wouldn’t know where to go hands with the kids.”
