Albertone
Description:
A sacred monster of Italian cinema, loved by critics and the public, in sixty years of career Alberto Sordi has interpreted more than one hundred and forty films, which have made him the undisputed protagonist of the pink and black comedy of our house. Born in Trastevere from a music professor, concert performer at the Rome Opera, and an elementary teacher, he was a child with a soprano voice, a row dancer, a mandolin player, a voice actor for the clumsy Ollio and the sexy Marcello Mastroianni, actor, screenwriter, composer, director: all this before becoming the national Albertone. On the screen was: doctor of the mutual, bachelor, husband, widower, unscrupulous businessman, corrupt judge, defendant awaiting trial, speculator, greedy, cynical, smart, naive. And great greedy. Everything and its opposite, drawing film after film the vices, many, and the virtues, perhaps less, of the average Italian, mirror of the evolution of an Italy that was leaving behind the poverty of war to enter a new economic development phase. Fifteen years after his death, on February 24, 2003, Silvana Giacobini, who met him as a novice journalist and then interviewed several times for the weekly magazines she directed, remembers the great Roman actor retracing his extraordinary life and collecting testimonies who knew him closely. She tells about her family, her beloved sisters, Aurelia and Savina, and her brother Pino; of loves, big and small; of tics and passions. But above all, through the plots of his most famous films, such as "An American in Rome", "The Great War", "The Widow", "I vitelloni", just to name a few, retraces the artistic and creative genius of Sordi , actor-symbol of decades of the history of our country, trying to penetrate the mystery of man veiled by the celebrity of the star. 203 pages, 22cm
