\u201cROMA, SANTA E DANNATA\u201d is a journey into the Roman night where Roberto D\u2019Agostino will tell his friend Marco Giusti, filmed by Daniele Cipr\u00ec, why Rome is a city, just as an electric chair is a chair. A unique and infernal city, capable of anything, even transforming Berlusconi into a prime minister, De Michelis into a dancer, Renzi into a statesman, Valeria Marini into an actress. In agreement with Vincent van Gogh (\u201cLa notte \u00e8 la cosa migliore che possa accadere al giorno. La notte \u00e8 pi\u00f9 colorata\u201d), Dago & Giusti embark on the journey at nightfall because it is at night that the din of the world is best perceived. It is at night that the change in social customs asserts itself. It is the night that best tells what is happening to our lives, more than any sociological essay. Wandering through the streets of Borgo Pio, navigating by boat on the Tiber, meeting characters and ghosts, always undecided whether to call the carabinieri or the nurses, Dago & Giusti describe a city more mysterious than the Coca Cola formula. A perfect enigma to degrade into a metaphor: it is a dead end, a poisoned meatball, a brothel of thought, a pasture of monsters, a huge funnel of collective dementia. Chateaubriand wrote: \u201cE\u2019 bella Roma per dimenticare tutto, disprezzare tutto, e morire\u201d. And Fellini added: \u201cL\u2019Urbe \u00e8 un immenso cimitero brulicante di vita\u201d. A city that should place at the entrance of the Raccordo Anulare the inscription that Dante puts on the gates of hell: \u201cLasciate ogni speranza o voi ch’entrate\u201d. A place where one is always waiting for the arrival of the barbarians, but once they arrive at Piazza del Popolo, it will take nothing to seduce them, to corrupt them, to transform the barbarians into Barberini; it will truly take nothing to seat them at a table with four scantily clad girls in inguinal miniskirts from \u201cChecco er Carrettiere\u201d and together see them warbling \u201cLa societ\u00e0 dei magnaccioni\u201d: \u201cCe piacciono li polli, l\u2019abbacchi e le galline, perch\u00e9 so senza spine, nun so\u2019 come er baccal\u00e0\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":867,"template":"","production_type":[31],"genre":[],"year_production":[9],"class_list":["post-868","production","type-production","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","production_type-movies"],"yoast_head":"\n
