On every December 7th Milan celebrates its patron Saint, archbishop Ambrose, with the musical premiere at the Scala theatre, street markets and even a prize for people worthy of praise. But who was Ambrose before he was made a Saint? Fo tells us his story, celebrating him as a figure who represented the redemption of the people against the emperor and the triviality of the rich.
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.
