\nIndeed, but I realized it only after a long time. I lost my father when I was twelve and I cut myself out of the world, because I felt that I was missing the father figure I was very fond of. I found notebooks where I used to write down everything. Art really saved my life. I could have been forever confined under the four walls of my home, but my suffering allowed me to share and overcome this pain turning it into beauty<\/span>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/manuale-di-volo-delluomo.jpg\")

\nIt might actually be similar, but it’s very symbolic. It actually represents our mind, which can be a place of imprisonment. A diabolical place and at the same time a wonderful tool that slowly fills up and embellishes, giving space to \u00a0what\u2019s deep inside<\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nEverything, although I believe that amazement should be nurtured. We need our minds to be back to the priorities: why are we in this world? The answer is: to improve ourselves and the aim of this show is to bring us back to the truth, to a non-artificial life. We just put on an act and wear masks \u2013 this is what Pirandello taught us! In Sanremo, for example, I showed that I had taken it off and I was so much just me that it moved me. I could have not presented that song (\u201cAbbi cura di me\u201d) if I was not totally myself<\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nThere is this obsession of showing to be stronger than you really are. It seems as if men have no limits of any kind, but the real happiness lies in admitting ones uncertainties. We become stronger when we are weak, because we recognize our vulnerability by proofing that we are authentic. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful things is to see a man crying. Not to be sadists, but because it means to lay bare and show that we are human, that we feel deep pain and joy, and that we are able to be touched when we a faced with this that strike us, for better or for worse<\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nThe situation is quite difficult; we still do not have a fixed base. The municipal theatre is in restoration stage and will probably be ready in two years’ time. To me it\u2019s like a flower growing in old asphalt, as it germinates despite the difficulties. In L’Aquila life continues thanks to the young people who study there and are like a dandelion that grows everywhere<\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve been corresponding by letter with a cloistered nun, whom I got to know in a Poor Clare cloister on Lake Iseo. I\u2019d like to meet her and have a <\/span>coffee<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with her. I would choose her rather than famous people, as to me she is full of life and things to discover. We could talk at great length on front of a coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
