Hello Vito, many memories, so many discussions, much love for the theater, has united us in the same spirit, to tell the city, through the theater. How much do you loved the theater, small theater, the ones that we have represented those who have worked thanks to your work, thanks for your visits. How many tips, how many secrets you told me of your life, secrets beautiful, all related to the theater, then how did you know you recount, no.
had her to write well, and I was able, thanks to you, to see your characters, your stories, your anecdotes. Dear Vito you will be missed, but will not fail in this town your plays, promised.
Dear Vito, among the many memories that bind me to you, one in particular, a Good Friday of 1993, we assisted with the procession of the Mysteries, you taught me to love it, understand it, told me: "See how you learn ... ... a historical pageant. " I said, "Vito is unlikely to ever be able to do a historical pageant." He prophetic: "You'll see, you'll see ...."
In 1994 I organized for the first time the historical procession of St. Nicholas. Vito Maurogiovanni prophetic. In the monologue of a play written in the '70s, "love and Sanghe contrabbanne," dedicated to the Petruzzelli theater, wrote: "They are beautiful colors of the scene in a theater, it seems the red fire, and seems to want to burn things and people" . Prophetic
Vito Maurogiovanni, years ago told me that he sent to the Piccolo Teatro of Milan, a play entitled "Yellow to the convent." This text ended up in the hands of a "certain" Umberto Eco. Quanche years after the same Umberto Eco published "The Name of the Rose." Dear Vito did you feel betrayed, I understand and I will continue to understand more and your soul of author, artist, man.
How many joys, but how many disappointments, when I could not get through your writing recognition for a theater to that of the "great experts" is standard B. The dialect, it has never been included in the theatrical calendar of institutions involved in distribution and circulation of theater, because it defined the series B. Today, all you remember (even some hypocritical) speaks well of you ... today. Why not yesterday? Why?
How many artists have taken me around when they decide to stage your work. I was saying: "Who makes you do, is the scene of heavy Maurogiovanni" or feel say, "But still lives Maurogiovanni?.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Teatro di Vito Maurogiovanni lives and will live forever, like him among us, forever. I remember sitting in the ranks of "little theaters" as defined by many, but thanks to your work became "great". You said always: 'We think we speak in dialect and in Italian. This is our secret. "
I still remember your coming to the theater to watch your works with great joy and I remember when I was confident that the night did not sleep thinking about your world of actresses, actors, sets, costumes, music and stories of old men, women and loves ...
