00:00Loredana Enrico from Necronos.

00:04I'll start with you, Tony.

00:06Yes, please.

00:07Catello is a grotesque character.

00:09How did you approach this role

00:12and what did you try to highlight?

00:16Well, I approached this role with the enthusiasm

00:20that an actor always has

00:22when he is asked to play a character who acts.

00:27Catello wakes up in the morning

00:30and decides to act on a stage.

00:34As I have often said,

00:36he is a bank robber,

00:38besieged by despair,

00:40to the point that he decides

00:42to part with the secret services

00:45to solve his problems,

00:47as we see at the beginning of the film

00:49when he has just come out of prison,

00:51with the capture of Matteo Messina.

00:54This puts him in contact with the secret services.

00:59It is something that I hope

01:02to pass on in a decisive way

01:08to the character,

01:10that when there are talks between him

01:13and the person responsible

01:15on the field of the secret services

01:17for the capture of Titante,

01:19the two recognize each other.

01:21They know each other as people

01:23who love to move,

01:25to get in the way,

01:28to the point that,

01:30in a dialogue that is not in the film,

01:32but that is entrusted to the gaze,

01:34it is as if one says,

01:36I like this one,

01:37and the other responds,

01:38if I could,

01:39I would like to be in his place.

01:41And this is what gives the film

01:45and my character

01:47this grotesque note,

01:48but not in the caricature sense,

01:50but in the sense of a thickening of the sign

01:52with which the character deals,

01:55which, through the ridicule,

01:57multiplies the awareness

02:01that there is immediately behind

02:04a profoundly tragic dimension.

02:06Because from this miserable universe

02:09then depend, in many cases,

02:11the conditions in which a region is found,

02:15perhaps even an entire state,

02:17at the expulsion of a criminal power

02:20that, unfortunately,

02:21is a hindrance

02:23in the civil and social emancipation

02:25of our country.

02:26But sometimes it originates

02:28in these environments that,

02:30seen from afar,

02:31we also find it difficult to recognize.

02:34Seen so closely,

02:35we ask ourselves, tragically,

02:37but how is it possible?

02:38How is it possible not to defeat,

02:41not to oppose

02:43centuries of culture

02:45of our country,

02:46of culture in a broad sense,

02:48to this miserable human story

02:52that guarantees,

02:54favors the latitude

02:57and the experience

02:59of some illustrious criminals?

03:02Well, unfortunately,

03:05studying the history

03:07of his criminal career,

03:11it is a story that intersects a lot

03:13with business.

03:15In short,

03:16Matteo Messina Di Naro

03:17was one of the prominent figures

03:20during the decision of the mafia,

03:23of what we then call

03:24the State-Mafia Treaty,

03:26so bombs in Florence,

03:29in Milan, in Rome,

03:31attacks in Falcone and Borsellino,

03:33therefore a frontal opposition

03:35with the State,

03:36but probably thanks to

03:38support from some parts

03:42of the services

03:43and our institutional apparatus.

03:45So it is a story that unfortunately

03:47intersects with politics

03:49and institutions.

03:50In short,

03:51just read what is written

03:53in the trials

03:54and what are the statements

03:55of the victims.

03:57In short,

03:58there is a lot of literature on this.

04:01What comes out of it,

04:03I repeat,

04:04is that they are always

04:05individual trifles,

04:06that is,

04:07the search for one's own

04:09individual and personal interest

04:11that then determines

04:13this mechanism.

04:14Because what determines

04:16the fact that a person,

04:17an entrepreneur,

04:18chooses a way

04:20facilitated

04:21compared to what the State

04:23guarantees him,

04:24is the motivation behind

04:26a person who,

04:27for a small reward,

04:28for a job,

04:29maybe for someone

04:30in their family,

04:32makes

04:34jump in the air

04:35the possibility of capturing

04:36a hitman,

04:37these are

04:38small things

04:39of human beings,

04:40as Giovanni Falcone said,

04:43that determine

04:44this world.

04:45And therefore,

04:46they must be eradicated

04:48in a

04:50cultural proposal

04:51of alternative things,

04:53which are those

04:54that are written

04:55in our Constitution.

04:56So it becomes political

04:58in this sense.

04:59That is,

05:00if we put forward

05:01the community,

05:02the common good,

05:03the shared possibilities,

05:04the open road

05:05for everyone,

05:06that is the true

05:08and above all

05:10rights for people.

05:12Because the mafia

05:13arrives where

05:14the State does not arrive.

05:16So where people

05:17are not protected,

05:18they have no rights,

05:19they rely on someone

05:20powerful

05:22to be protected.

05:23Instead,

05:24the greatest power

05:25must be that of the community,

05:26of the rules.

05:27Otherwise,

05:28in short,

05:29I repeat,

05:30the basis of this

05:31differentiation

05:32between bad and good

05:33is this,

05:34a political thing

05:35that Western cinema

05:36has done

05:37mainly

05:38in our

05:39cinematographic culture

05:41and therefore

05:42a model that comes

05:44from another culture

05:46much more

05:47simplifying

05:48than ours.

05:50In short,

05:51the history of theater,

05:53just think,

05:54in short,

05:55of the Greek

05:56and then ours,

05:57also Anglo-Saxon,

05:58in short, etc.,

05:59is made of other models,

06:00of other complexities,

06:01as life is made.

06:02In the sense that

06:03human beings

06:04are capable

06:05of everything.

06:07This is enough

06:08to read,

06:09in short,

06:10any news,

06:11today,

06:12chronicle,

06:13not to think

06:14about the wars

06:15that are around,

06:16which are justified

06:17based on an ethic

06:19that then allows

06:20to determine

06:21that those who are bad

06:22must be exterminated.

06:23So,

06:24this ethic,

06:25on this ethic,

06:26it is necessary,

06:27because even criminals

06:28have a great ethic

06:29that relies

06:30on non-shareable values,

06:31so it depends

06:32on what values

06:33and this I insist

06:34on what are

06:35the cultural models

06:36of reference

06:37and that institutions

06:38should worry

06:39about proposing

06:40alternative models,

06:41that if the model

06:42is always profit

06:43at all costs

06:44and that's enough

06:45and only that counts

06:46cynically,

06:47not the common good

06:48of people,

06:49these effects

06:50are produced,

06:51even maybe

06:52in entrepreneurship,

06:53even in hospitals,

06:54even in school,

06:55where only the strongest

06:56wins

06:57and the important thing

06:58is the personal

06:59return of each one,

07:00this produces

07:01a destruction

07:02of the collective

07:03and therefore

07:04of our society

07:05and therefore

07:06we need to put

07:07some measures,

07:08but I repeat,

07:09in people,

07:10in the cultural growth

07:11of human beings,

07:12because then

07:13it is the human beings

07:14who make the choices,

07:15we can't blame

07:16politics,

07:17the mafia,

07:18it's us.
