The Mayor of Rione Sanità 2019

The fidelity to the original text is, paradoxically, its greatest defect. But transforming Antonio Barracano from an already mature twilight "man of honor" to an energetic "godfather" doesn't quite work, despite the very remarkable performance of Francesco Di Leva. Because the text sounds anachronistic on his lips, as in that powerful monologue-confession that despite being located on an outdoor terrace still has essence on stage.
