Cinema: Elisabetta Sgarbi, happy Avati tales about my family

(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 25 - Filming of the new film by Pupi Avati, inspired by the works of GiuseppeSgarbi, father of Vittorio and Elisabetta Sgarbi, will begin in the spring. "I am happy that Pupi Avati tells my father and mother and part of the history of our family" says Elisabetta Sgarbi who collaborated with the director by sharing anecdotes and information about his family's life with him. Sgarbi has also granted the opportunity to shoot some scenes in the Cavallini Sgarbi villa in Ro Ferrarese, where her father and mother have lived continuously since 1950, and which now, bound by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and owned by the Elisabetta Sgarbi Foundation, is preparing to become a House Museum .
"I always thought, seeing the films of Pupi Avati, in particular 'Help me to dream', also shot in Ro Ferrarese, a few hundred meters from our house and our pharmacy, that it had a sensitivity not far from that of our father Nino. our father understood that, having learned of Pupi's interest in his books, he asked me to review all the films of the Bolognese director with him, which we did during his last year of life, "says Sgarbi.
