Dario e Dio

(Dario and God)

Ugo Guanda Editore, March 2016, pp.192

Dario Fo commits to settling things with God and men.

The Nobel prizewinner for literature has always been a militant atheist, but this has never stopped him from exploring the theme of the sacred in many of his works, often engaging the Catholic Church and the saints in privileged conversations or making them his targets.
Taking inspiration from the immense heritage of popular culture, he has written deeply personal readings of the Gospels and the Bible, the tone of which are often ironic and provocative, but never blasphemous nor disrespectful. He has now decided to draw his conclusions from this long historical, religious and personal journey.

Dario Fo

Dario Fo (1926-2016) graduated from the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera in Milano, and emerged in Italy’s cultural circles, especially those linked to the theatre, where he became a great maestro thanks to his strong satirical skills and the farcical nature of his texts. This signature style characterized his entire career, which culminated in 1997 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The public in Italy and abroad has always welcomed the political satire and the folk backdrop that dominated all of his works.
