The event

The text is by Marco Risi with Giammarco Spineo, and Risi also directs. On stage Marco Giustini plays Alberto Sordi, Lucia Rossi plays Silvana Mangano and Andrea De Rosa plays Dino De Laurentiis.

The story is built as a working meeting: Sordi and Mangano go over the script of the episodes “Eritrea” and “L’automobile,” part of the film “La mia signora” (1964). The rehearsal turns into an exchange of memories, provocations and confidences about the relationship between friendship and love, and shapes an account of Italian cinema in the 1960s seen through two of its leading figures.

The show is hosted and produced by Off/Off Theatre, directed by Silvano Spada. The theater announces performances from November 3 to 8, 2026.

Off/Off Theatre is on Via Giulia, at numbers 19, 20 and 21, in a 17th-century building on the Renaissance street. Its artistic director is Silvano Spada. Nearby are Campo de’ Fiori and Ponte Sisto.
