Great influx of links and contacts on the multimedia platform of the Museum of Peace - MAMT for the centenary of the birth of Turi Ferro.
President Michele Capasso, in connection with the City of Catania, recalled the "great Sicilian actor naturally linked to the great authors of his Sicily".
Turi Ferro, whose 100th anniversary of his birth on 10 January and 11 May will be the winds of his death in 2001, was above all Pirandello in an exemplary way, managing to bring together, in the ambiguity typical of the great playwright's poetics, his well-known comic qualities with high and dramatic ones playing on times and pauses.
"Usually an actor, during breaks, makes it clear that he is reflecting on a line. Turi did and gave more, an added value - Andrea Camilleri testified - he inserted in his acting certain absolutely comic pauses in a dramatic context, he brought irony, modifying the direction, like any real actor ".
A complete actor, capable of giving life to characters who must arouse laughter, how to move with suffering, to act in Italian as in the Sicilian language, he was also an important character who certainly contributed to the construction of the modern identity of his city, Catania , making the authors and traditional and contemporary texts love, from Verga to Sciascia, but above all creating in 1958 with the best actors of the region, Rosina Anselmi, Michele Abbruzzo, Umberto Spadaro, that cultural center that is still the Teatro Stabile, of which it has been the symbol and soul for over 40 years. And it is the Stabile itself that promotes and coordinates the celebrations for this centenary, with shows, exhibitions, publications, which have been stopped for now by the pandemic.
His skill meant that an actor with natural talent appeared, instinctively, while he was a true professional and each character cost him effort, it was the result of a demanding job always spurred on by questions and doubts in deconstructing and then reconstructing a text, a part. Only then did the literary word find the measure of fiction, that intrinsic musicality that made it a body, turning out to be true, as happens with true art. Born in Catania in the last days of 1920 but registered on January 10, 1921, Salvatore Ferro, known as Turi, begins to act very young, at the Coppola theater in Catania, in the amateur dramatics company, directed by his father Guglielmo Ferro and alongside another Guglielmo , his son, who bears the name of his grandfather, will end his career by having him sign the direction of his latest shows, including a Shakespeare's' Storm 'in which by now eighty was a magical Prospero, a show told in a docufilm by Daniele Gonciaruk' Turi Ferro - The last Prospero 'who extends the investigation to the entire personality of the actor.

ANNIVERSARIES AT THE MUSEUM: ONE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER THE BIRTH OF LEONARDO SCIASCIA

Great influx of links and contacts on the multimedia platform of the Museum of Peace - MAMT for the centenary of the birth of Leonardo Sciascia.
There is no emphasis on calling him one of the greatest and most influential Italian intellectuals of the twentieth century. "Probably the only figure that can be approached to Sciascia, despite the evident and very profound differences due to the impact on the cultural and political debate and the extraordinary ability to interpret his contemporaneity, is that of Pier Paolo Pasolini" said the president Michele Capasso in the room where the great writer's books and documents are kept. It is no coincidence that Pasolini himself became aware of Sciascia's talent right from his debut in the post-war period, with the Fables of the Dictatorship, in which a ferocious political satire was already revealed behind the stylistic code of Aesopian fables.
Beyond the civil passion, a trait that unites the two great authors is versatility: Sciascia was a writer, playwright, essayist, journalist, teacher, poet and even politician, first independent in the ranks of the Communist Party (from which he left because he did not share the line of the "historical compromise") and then for the Radical Party, of which he shared the great guarantee battles.
