In the movie “Mediterranean Sea“, he interpreted Antonio Farina, one of eight Italian soldiers forgotten on a Greek island during World War II. Today this life really belongs to him: Joseph CedernaActor and author by profession, works part time of the year as a waiter in a restaurant in Karpathos, a small island in the Aegean Sea. “I know it seems absurd, sometimes it makes me laugh too,” Cederna told Corriere della Sera.

In the movie by Gabriele SalvatoresThe Roman actor, Oscar winner in 1992, plays the tidy Antonio Farina, who falls in love with the prostitute Vassilissa. It often happens that the customers of the restaurant where he works recognize him and he doesn’t shy away from the photos: “It’s a pleasure”, he explains, “as long as they take them with the owners of the tavern too. “
Antonio Cederna, from the “Mediterranean” to work as a waiter on a Greek island
But how did it get there? “My partner and I help a family of local friends,” says Cederna. They have a vegetable garden and a small restaurant. First we came as guests, then we became family. And, you know, those who belong to the family work ». The actor describes his bond with these countries as “instinctive”: “They gradually took us in until they adopted us,” he explains. I have also served as her son’s best man and am expecting him in Rome in December. I’m a lucky man, I have two families in the world.”
Giuseppe Cederna therefore spends at least one month a year on this island: “I organize and postpone all my film and theater commitments to preserve this window.” For me, coming here is almost a physical necessity. I can’t help it».
Remembering the days on the set of “Mediterraneo” a Castellorizo, the actor concludes: “We finished filming at 6:30 p.m., then we moved to the pier and played football-tennis until sunset.” I’m a fervent Inter fan, while Abatantuono is known to have a Rossoneri heart. It was life and death battles, it was like we waited for the derby every time like kids do.”
