“I will make one last film with Christian De Sica, could be named after Christmas in Salina”: the ironic provocation of Massimo Boldi last night at the Aeolian Islands on the stage of the Salina Marefestival where he received the Troisi Prize. “I and I de Sica are a couple – added the actor known with the Cipollino character, 80 years old in July – We are as a husband and wife … I don’t know who the husband is, in fact perhaps yes, we are interscambable. The idea of a next Christmas film is already there, but he still has to work on location and details, it would not be bad to shoot in this extraordinary island”.
To relaunch the ball Ezio Greggio: “Christmas also would not be bad at the Aeolian, I could apply for mayor of Salina – the conductor of Striscia la Notizia joked – it is the fourth time I go back to this festival that has a magical atmosphere in memory of the immense Troisi, it is always exciting to review the places of his latest film The postman”. The two actors were interviewed by the artistic director, the journalist Massimiliano Cavaleri, and by his colleague Nadia La Malfa, presenter of the event, who retraced the brilliant careers, dotted with films of collection champions, starting with the cult of the 80s “Yuppies”, which saw them alongside De Sica and Jerry Calà.
In Boldi the Troisi career prize for the over 70 films shot, mostly as a protagonist, delivered by another Milanese doc, the president of Carioni International shipments Giancarlo Saglimbeni. In Greggio, already Troisi Prize a few years ago, the silver plate for the theater was awarded, delivered by the entrepreneur Manfredi Barbera and by the deputy mayor of Malfa Giuseppe Siracusano, thanks to the extraordinary success of his last one man show “A life on the screen”, which recorded sold out throughout Italy and will start soon. The Marefestival, coorned by Cavaleri with Patrizia Casale and Francesco Cappello, has rewarded the actors Giuseppe Zeno, Marina Suma, Barbara Foria, the songwriters Mauro of Maggio, Daria Biancardi and the bands of Salvo Nocera and Giuseppe La Spada in the squares of Malfa and Santa Marina Salina.
