Oct. 21 – Leopardi’s Operette Morali made their way to New York thanks to Mario Martone and Ippolita di Majo, who will stage, on Oct. 30-31, the show “Seven Short Morals.” This adaptation of the Leopardi text made will be played by Renato Carpentieri, Iaia Forte, Giovanni Ludeno and Franca Penone, and it will be directed by Mario Martone in collaboration with Paola Rota. The theatrical piece is produced by the Foundation of the Teatro Stabile di Torino, and it is the fruit of Martone’s ability to transform Leopardi’s visionary journey through the darkest dwellings of the human soul. The show will be hosted by the Scuola d’Italia “Guglielmo Marconi,” which organized the event with the Italian Cultural Institute of New York and the Fondazione del Teatro Stabile di Torino, on the occasion of the Year of Italian culture in the United States.
