Look who’s talking!


Antonio Albanese playing the role of Cetto La Qualunque, a corrupt, perverted Calabrian with organized crime connections, right-wing Senator, running as candidate with a platform based mainly on “abundance of attractive women” (cchiù pilu pi tutti, which is also the title of a book released by Albanese using the character’s name). The character was featured first on Albanese’s own TV show Non c’è problema (There’s no problem), aired on Rai 3 in 2003, but achieved more success when proposed at Mai dire domenica on Italia 1. It is currently staged by Albanese on a weekly basis on the program Che tempo che fa aired on Rai 3. In 2011 was released Qualunquemente, a feature length movie about him, and in 2012, the sequel movie, Tutto tutto niente niente. [From Wikipedia].

Princess Anna of Marchesini



Anna Rita Marchesini †
(Orvieto, November 19, 1953 – Orvieto, July 30, 2016)

I’ve already spotted a display case in the meeting room with inside a small green-coloured porcelain box – I believe.
I think it’s perfect to hold my ashes. It’s a wish that little by little I’ll find the courage to bring to light. And that is a strange thing to say about a small heap of ashes.
I can try... What if they reject me again?
What if, then, the Academy moves away?
What if, during the moving, the green-coloured box gets broken? Oh no! Being wiped out by the Academy – no – never more.
