In Catanzaro, Gianvito Casadonte’s sarcastic quips and jokes about the Magna Graecia Festival have now become legendary, even if the regime media is careful not to spread them for fear that… the very powerful fixer no longer finances them generously as he does – bless – every year. The second name of the event was born precisely in the City of the Three Hills, which is certainly the most appropriate one “Magna Magna Festival” and again in the regional capital city some joker has renamed it Gianvito Casadonte in… GianMelo, where Melo stands for the son of the legendary Cetto Laqualiunque and the “Gian”, in addition to being part of the real name of the manager with the hood and apron, almost sounds like a quote from that “Pier” who was before… Silvio and we are obviously talking about the son of Berlusconi’s “bonanima”.
The premise serves to introduce yet another prestigious arrival at the “Magna Magna”: after Michel Platini, here is none other than… Kevin Costner. Mayor Fiorita, who clearly knows the jokes about Casadonte well, even if he cannot quote them for obvious reasons, this morning tried to make a joke out of her to avoid being banal but the result achieved, with all due respect, doesn’t even make the chickens laugh. Below, his thoughts on GianMelo which appeared this morning on social media.
I am very angry with Gianvito Casadonte, artistic director of the Magna Graecia Film Festival. I had asked him to invite for this edition one of the most important actors in the history of world cinema, a living legend. And what does he do? He invites a novice American actor, whose surname I barely remember, I think his name is Monster or Droster or maybe Costner. He won some statuettes in second-rate awards and was the protagonist in films that were shown in parish cinemas, such as The Untouchables, Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard, JFK. He knows that those who criticize me for wanting the MGFF to remain in Catanzaro are right. Jokes aside, we look forward to seeing you Kevin.
