I wanted to hide with Germano in the room from August 19th

(ANSA) - ROME, JULY 27 - The film I wanted to hide by Giorgio Diritti with Elio Germano, produced by Palomar with Rai Cinema, will be released in theaters with 01 Distribution on Wednesday August 19. On 15, 16 and 17 August the film will premiere in the summer arenas.
    "Ligabue is tired of being hidden - declares GiorgioDiritti -. He assured me that he doesn't want to hide anymore he wants to be loved. He wants to meet people, the public going to as many arenas as possible and with a bow he wants to introduce himself saying 'I am an artist! I was nobody but here I am now ".
    "Ligabue has been his whole life in what could define a" social lockdown "today - comments Elio Germano (Silver Bear in Berlin as best actor for his interpretation of the artist) - and I am sure that for this reason he will have many things to tell us. "
    "I wanted to hide ... I was a marginalized man, a lonely child, a madhouse, but I wanted to be loved." Toni, the son of an Italian emigrant, rejected in Italy by Switzerland where he spent a difficult childhood and adolescence, lives for years in a hut on the river without ever giving in to loneliness, cold and hunger. The meeting with the sculptor Renato Marino Mazzacurati is an opportunity to get closer to painting, it is the beginning of a redemption in which he feels that art is the only one through building his identity, the real possibility to be recognized and loved by the world.
    "El Tudesc," as people call him, is a lonely, rickety, ugly man, often derided and humiliated. He will become the imaginative painter who paints his fantasy world of digers, gorillas and jaguars standing on the banks of the Po. That ofLigabue is a "fairy tale" in which the wealth of university emerges and his works prove to be a gift for the whole community over time. (HANDLE).
