Beppe Fiorello with an open heart in prime time he will tell about his life, his own Sicilia and his family. All in the notes of the unforgettable Domenico Modugno. "I think such a dreamFinally arrives on the small screen, and will be broadcast Monday January 11 21.30 su Rai 1. The show harks back to the theatrical show staged in more than 300 Italian stages. Just like in the theater, even in the highly anticipated television event the direction will be by Duccio Forzano. Among the guests who will make Beppe Fiorello's night magical there will be Eleonora Abbagnato, Serena Rossi, Paola Turci, Francesca Chillemi, Pierfrancesco Favino and, of course, the brother Rosary. Beppe Fiorello has announced that the one with his brother will be a very intimate moment, totally unprecedented for the public.
"I think a dream like this" will therefore be a show that intertwines the history of Fiorello family (and not only) with Domenico Modugno. As Beppe Fiorello himself told at the press conference: "This 'dream' that I bring on television is an outline of who I am, it is a tribute to the shyness through which I will make you live my relationship with life, I give a part of my family and to my family I give those silences of a child now decrypted and solved. Through the music of Domenico Modugno I create a common thread between him and my father who is the real protagonist of this story ”.
I think a dream like this: Beppe Fiorello's love for Modugno
The choice of Modugno as the soundtrack of the show is not causal. The great Apulian singer-songwriter was very important to the actor. Since the first album he listened to as a child, over the years Modugno's songs have been a bit there colonna sonora of Fiorello's life. The Sicilian actor then crowned one of his dreams, playing Modugno in the highly acclaimed Rai fiction "Flying"(2013). Among the songs from the repertoire of the Apulian singer-songwriter that will be performed live, in addition to the great classics such as "In the blue painted blue"and "Old tailcoat”, There will also be less famous songs, which the general public will be able to discover and appreciate. Among these is "What are the clouds" written by Pier Paolo Pasolini for Domenico Modugno. The song is included in the eponymous episode (also directed by Pasolini) of the film "Italian capriccio".
