Ho visto un Fo

An extraordinary human and artistic parable told through memories, anecdotes, and unpublished events witnessed first-hand, from the writer who knew him best, and the most intimately.

From the first extraordinary stories by the narrators of the lake who were his first teachers, to his passion for painting and theatre, both of which he cultivated throughout his life. To Franca Rame, with whom he shared his parable of life and art; she was by his side in his very first farces, in the numerous comedies of political satire, in his television adventures and his clashes with censorship…
Fo is brought back to life in these pages with a provocative energy, as a man who was always ready to turn the meaning of things upside down, who liked to show that the king and his courtiers wore no clothes, and to laugh at the absurdity of life. Until his last day.
