"Thank you Mario" I am the

He committed suicide this night by jumping from the window of his hospital room, the great film director Mario Monicelli novantacinquenne.

read, while using various euphemisms, the newspapers today. It pays homage to the famous character, the hero of the camera, the director of unforgettable film. And the man? I wonder myself. Today you bang on the front page news with all the wonder that it has brought with him. There is talk without any check on how you have found the body, where it was, the alleged time of death, there is the slightest respect, and that in general .. Now are revealed gruesome details of each story of current events, from murder to suicide. And 'failed modesty, the grace to shut up some details that should not affect anyone. They should, instead of interest and how, give audience figures ever seen, make ordinary people famous and also take away what little privacy remains to familiar faces. How strange, I just wanted to write a few words about Monicelli .. Now I'm going to the point.

I can not boast of having seen all the films scripted by Monicelli or, indeed, certainly not coming to a tenth, but works as My Friends (1 st and 2 nd place), I hope it Male , Dear friends fucking , the Marchese del Grillo, A Very Little revenues are now part of our DNA Italians, have made history.

I thought a little 'what I write and I am convinced that he really makes little sense to start a list of his films, director of the merits of his or abstract talk about legacy all'inestimabile Monicelli us left.

I thank my way.

resounds in my head a melody note "but vaffanzum zum zum zum zum vaaaa .. but, I can recite entire dialogues of the film is now common quote Mascetti making fun of someone with a harmless supercazzola .. . Antani like it! I never push to slap passengers departing train, but probably just because today regionai have air conditioning and windows locked! The Perozzi that kills the baker, the pin Melandri who walked and who loses his head every time she falls in love, and betrayal of the Necchi Carmen Verdirame Augusto Brescia, the respected professor Sassaroli and granddaughters by bean, and the unforgettable Conte Lello Mascetti, the most bitter character in the movie. All of them, magical actors like today if they see few, along with the unforgettable soundtrack and the backdrop (a Florence dotted with great skill) make this film a masterpiece of Italian comedy.

What about the Deaf in Marchese Grillo ? I saw this film as a child and then more great laugh for comic roles, and then appreciating the historical setting and the direction. The Tuscan countryside of Female hope it is so familiar that it seems to me only one piece of a known history, with my dialect and our antics.

My personal and subjective to Monicelli thank you for leaving an indelible mark of a Tuscany that, unfortunately, has disappeared or will disappear: the memory of Florence in '66, the city view from Piazzale Michelangelo, farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside and such, so people like our grandfathers and our fathers, the life that flows with an almost musical rhythm of likes and dislikes to deal with the sympathy and optimism that characterizes us ... Thank you so much Mario!
