Theatre – "un uomo di bar" in Piazza Angelio

Some people might have remembered him as the person thrown out of the reality show “Big Brother” after he blasphemed on live TV (video here) but Guido Genovesi is now making his way in the world as a playwright.
In Piazza Angelio this evening was staged one of Guidino’s works – “un uomo di bar”.

A monologue by the actor Massimo Grigò which was pervaded by a poignant nostalgia for a world increasingly distant but whose memory should remain alive.

Massimo recounted stories about a bar in and around which the cultural life of the community was centered. Although most of the stories were based at the time running up to the fall of the Berlin Wall – the changing situation in the bar and problems the old faithful customers had as it was modernised and “brought up to date” used as a means of showing his audience just where modern life seems to be failing many people could quite easily had a more contemporary setting.

How many times on barganews have we written about Aristo’s bar being the cultural center of Barga for instance ? (article here)
