(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 27 - How to title a collection of scattered thoughts that does not have a precise thread but reflects strong and contrasting moods experienced during the lockdown? Enzo Iacchetti has decided to call his very personal 'zibaldone' which does not have an editric house and a defined cover price 'It is not a book' but will be purchased in the squares directly from him who will begin a journey alongside the Italian Red Cross.
"It is an 'auto publishing' operation of my 'opera' of which I have printed the first thousand copies independently.
This frees me from economic issues and allows me to devolve 100% of the proceeds to the Red Cross with the aim of buy an ambulance for those who need it,perhaps for a municipality that does not have one ", explains Enzo Iacchetti to ANSA.
"Especially during the first period of the lockdown, locked in the house with the dog, I realized that I was starting to give numbers. By now I was talking to him and he would answer me. I started writing scattered thoughts and notes on the papers and in the end I put them together. The noise the deafening of ambulances running up and down gave me inspiration, "he says.
With the closure of the theaters, Iacchetti, like all his colleagues, was forced to interrupt a tour. In that period he was also stopped with the running of Striscia laNotizia. Closed at home, he gave vent to "surreal, angry and sometimes even comic" thoughts, he confesses.
In his book, the actor and TV presenter dreams of a great challenge, a duel between the victims of the pandemic and bad governance.
Iacchetti admits to having suffered so much in recent months and to have screamed, in his own way, that pain in this book. "The most poetic passages - he says - are those dedicated to doctors, nurses, volunteers. I felt so close to their destruction. They were left in disarray without the least defense. I think that this beast of viruses is the revolt of nature towards the spite suffered over the years. ". The volume will be delivered by him to those who want it, in the course of public meetings with the Italian Red Cross, "and everyone will donate to the cause what they can and want, from 50 cents to 1 million euros".
