Leonardo Pieraccioni: “And now grandfather (sprint!)”

With Sabrina Ferilli

Leonardo Baldini

What do you think of legal brothels?
“To understand its dynamics, I went to a Swiss brothel, and there I met the director who told me very interesting, even poignant things. There are the customers who fall in love with the fairies, and then there are the mothers-in-law who prepare sweets for the girls. They don’t eat them, so they all go to the manager. It is a wonderful misunderstanding. In Italy there is a tendency not to want to address the issue of prostitution, which is a serious topic. It has to be treated with the right protocols. I am in favor of legalized brothels, even today, returning home through the country roads, I happen to meet the girls along icy avenues. It is dangerous, in the hands of crime ».

And of the celibacy of priests?
“They should get married, let’s give them the whip of love, joys and sorrows (laughs, ed). Don Simone ironically at a certain point asks himself “why do you want to take away the celibacy of solitude, why do I have to find a mad wife at home too?” ».

Fourteen films and the approaching 60 years. Up to here?
“Everything OK. I am lucky enough to be able to do a job, and not a job. If you do a job, be it a carpenter or a kindergarten teacher, you do it with the joy of getting up in the morning. A job is another thing. In addition to this luck, for 11 years I have apparently had a daughter like Martina who even in my thoughts I could not imagine like her. She is a rare, precious little girl. And then she is also gifted with comedy. But he doesn’t want to see my films… ».

Nobody?
“He has seen very few, like I love you in all languages ​​of the world. He tells me he will watch them later, now watch the series. A beautiful wifeInstead, she told me she just doesn’t want to see it. There is a mother of him (Laura Torrisied), he feels it too close… ».

Is the sentimental balance also positive?
«Super positive, at 50 I made peace with who I am: I’ve never married and that’s okay, I just can’t do it. My films prove it. For me, marriage is a 47-kilometer marathon, where my shoelace breaks in the seventh ».

Is the longest bond still the one with Massimo Ceccherini?
«Absolutely, even if I don’t believe much in those who say ‘we are brothers’. Everyone has only one brother, at most, and mine is Carlo Conti. With everyone else there is a measured friendship. We have a healthy friendship with Massimo, we enjoy making films, we talk about things on the phone, but we never see each other off the set. We are two provincials who love each other in their own way ».
