Anna Pavignano and Massimo Troisi: a great human and artistic partnership
A successful path that of Anna Pavignano, which takes her from the Piedmontese town of Borgomanero, where she was born, to a first participation, while studying psychology, as an extra in the Rai Non stop program. We are at the end of the seventies, it is in this period that he meets Massimo Troisi. A great partnership will be born with him, actor, director, screenwriter, stand-up comedian. Dell 'Neapolitan actor will be a life and work partner. These are years of great intensity, of life and common interests, during which they will write together, with four hands, the scripts for films such as I start again from three (1981) Dead Troisi, long live Troisi! (1982) Sorry for the delay (1983) The ways of the Lord are finished (1987) I thought it was love… instead it was a gig (1991) and The postman (1994). In addition to being a screenwriter, she will also be an actress in the film Sorry for the delay. Closed the history and artistic collaboration with Troisi, Anna Pavignano continues to write screenplays. Let's remember the one for the film If anything directed by Alessandro Alatri and, again under the direction of Alatri, the film On the sea taken from the novel Hovering over the sea of Pavignano itself. With this film he won the 2010 special prize at the Alabarda d'oro Festival of Cinema, Theater and Literature - City of Trieste.
The novel From tomorrow I get up late, dedicated to the great Neapolitan artist
Cinema, theater, books, Anna Pavignano's activity finds one of its most significant points with the novel I get up late tomorrow, released in 2007 and fresh off the reissue. A sort of autobiography between fiction and reality, a particular novel where the writer talks about Troisi bringing him back to life, through a particular trick according to which the artist would not die but rather retired into exile voluntarily, far from everyone, even from people more expensive. It is a pretext to tell the actor and director in a singular and emotional way. The writer imagines that Troisi returns to her old house in Rome, meeting some friends, including herself.
The idea was born to write a new film, and memories of the past resurface. Feelings, encounters, episodes of real life. From all this comes the man and the artist Massimo Troisi, with his charge of life, his personality, his way of thinking and making people laugh, his art. A very lively Troisi, as his many films still tell us. The book, of great success, has had a theatrical transposition where Anna Pavignano, narrator, recites some passages supported by a musical accompaniment. His latest novel is from 2017, The Swedish. A female love story that was born many years ago, conceived with Troisi who at the time wanted to make a film of it. We will talk about this and much more to the next Literary café of italiani.it. Anna Pavignano, her life, her world, her art, her stories. We are waiting for you!
