The Neapolitan actor and director said to himself in an interesting interview: “As a child, I was the comedian in my class”.
Alessandro Siani, Neapolitan actor and director, was told in a long and interesting interview with Corriere della Sera. “Father worker, housewife mother, we lived in a house where I didn’t have a room of my own and I went to study on the landing, which was also cooler. Every time I heard the sound of the elevator, I would run away so as not to see that I was in the middle of the stairs. And even today, when I hear the sound of the elevator, I start to run.
“Even as a child I was a comedian in my class, not the one to imitate professors and not even the clown of jokes, I was a boy who noticed the contradictions that surround us and turned them into mini monologues. The teacher of religion for me. He suggested doing a show for the school, he told me if I did the theater rehearsals they would shorten my study time. I said yes straight away, also because I didn’t like studying, I only went to school when I was really fed up with marinating”.
They often accuse him of being too similar to Massimo Troisi. He defends himself by saying that he is “nothing” in comparison. And about Pino Daniele: “It was he who told me that he wanted to meet me, he invited me to his house and wrote me the soundtrack for a film without wanting money. I carry the days with him, his stories, within me; I have known the whole family, I still feel the children; this atmosphere was formative for my growth”.
About Maradona: “For us, Maradona is an example of greatness. I met him, Pino Daniele, Luciano De Crescenzo, I understood that they had a common matrix: the fact of intercepting people’s thoughts even in the midst of a thousand contrasts and a thousand problems. Maradona I directed him in a show at the San Carlo, before Diego went on stage he was pensive in the dressing room. He said to me, “I’m scared, I’m scared of disappointing people. He, Maradona. But the thought was always the same, folks. He didn’t hide his weaknesses and at the same time he was a giant”.
