00:00I wanted to ask, what pushed you to tell the story of Leopardi

00:04and what do you think Leopardi can say to today's audience, especially young people?

00:08It pushed me, let's say, to have discovered a Leopardi completely different from what I had known on the school benches.

00:15To have discovered that Leopardi, let's say, was not only the sad, melancholic poet,

00:21but that in reality he was also a seer who was able to imagine

00:27what the future would be.

00:31And it struck me to discover that Leopardi was also very ironic.

00:35It struck me to discover, for example, the moral operas, which we do not study, which are less known,

00:40which are also the work to which Leopardi has dedicated a large part of his life,

00:44for which Leopardi has fought hard.

00:47And then we wanted, in some way, to tell the thought of Leopardi, his modernity.

00:51So we made a Leopardi without a hump,

00:53which is like making a Christmas cave without the ox and the donkey, let's say.

00:57And yet, let's say, more than the body of Leopardi, he was going to tell the thought,

01:01his thought, the impartiality of his thought and also the delicacy of his thought.

01:06What can he tell young people?

01:08He can tell young people precisely this, also, how to say, his extreme freedom.

01:15And then he also thinks of his most famous poetry.

01:20He can tell that often we may not be able to access all the happiness we would like,

01:25but with the strength of thought we can go beyond that thorn and also access infinity.

01:31I think this is a beautiful gift that we can all carry in our hearts.

01:36And it is especially useful for young people who often discover that life does not give you everything you want.

01:41Leonardo, you, instead, interpreting Leopardi, what did you discover about him that you did not know?

01:49Well, let's say that most of what Sergio said, which is a bit the idea of this Leopardi,

01:55was a whole portion of his thought to which I was not always focused.

02:01The first time Sergio told me about this project, he told me, do you like Leopardi?

02:05I said, I love Giacomo Leopardi, I love his poems.

02:08He told me, but do you also know the philosopher?

02:10I said, I did not know philosophy.

02:12And there is a whole thought, which is already infinity,

02:15which is a truly philosophical poetry that he wrote,

02:17which in one go he deepened the moral operettas,

02:20also another thing that, as we said before, is not studied so much,

02:23and in reality he has committed himself to it a lot,

02:25and they are truly ironic and profound stories that he wrote,

02:29which were very dear to him.

02:31So I discovered a lot, a lot, a lot about him.

02:34Giussi, what did you think when you read the screenplay

02:37and how did your character influence Leopardi's life according to the story?

02:44Well, I thought that Fanny, as it was told by the screenwriters,

02:49Carlo Cavalluzzi, Pasquini and Sergio himself,

02:53because he was also the author of my series,

02:56told a woman, yes, from the 1800s,

03:00a woman, an image, yes, that I partly knew,

03:04but also a very modern woman,

03:06because many aspects of the feminine are told.

03:09We see a sweet Fanny with her own daughters,

03:13and in fact Leopardi remembers in his poem Spasia

03:16this foggy neck where the girls clung to each other,

03:20but at the same time we also see an undisputed Fanny,

03:23a nostalgic Fanny.

03:25The nostalgia for Fanny was also something that immediately captured me,

03:31kidnapped me.

03:33So these shades of such a complex character

03:38were the things that immediately attracted me.

03:42It's a classic, and classics are transversal at any time,

03:45it's eternal, then poetry is eternal,

03:48and so, let's say, Leopardi will always be there,

03:51we will no longer be there, but Leopardi will continue to be there,

03:54because there will continue to be a transversal thought at any time,

03:58at any layer of society, at any political faction.

04:04Leopardi has always been taken a little by the jacket,

04:06someone said he's on the right, someone else said he's on the left,

04:09someone said, no, but then at the end of his life he converted,

04:12everyone took him by the jacket because he's not labeled,

04:15and so he's not part of a time, he's part of the time.
