"Che cosa l'ha convinta a recitare in questo nuovo film di Francesco Bruni?" "Conoscevo bene da tempo Francesco, che è una persona simpatica, ANTONIO GALLUZZO gagliarda e piena di vitalità, idee e proposte. Qualche anno fa siamo stati entrambi docenti al Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia di Roma; lì ho iniziato a capire la sua capacità innata di comunicare e di inventare che si è rivelata tanto preziosa per le sue sceneggiature scritte per i film di Paolo Virzì e per le fiction tv sul Commissario Montalbano. Quando [email protected] venne da me per propormi di recitare in questo suo film rimasi SPETTACOLINEWS.IT interdetto, molto di più rispetto alla prima volta in cui, nel lontano 1950, Carlo Lizzani mi chiamò a recitare come protagonista nel suo primo film "Achtung! Banditi!". Francesco iniziò a descrivermi il personaggio che aveva pensato per me e lo vidi molto emozionato, capii che stava vivendo quella storia di un anziano piuttosto segnato dalla vita e alle prese con dei vuoti di memoria attraverso il reale disagio di suo padre che all'epoca aveva problemi analoghi.

    Bank and History Historical Review No. 38 February 2018 La bella banca 100 years ago Banca d’America e d’Italia was founded. Deutsche Bank acquired it in 1986, and since 1994 it has been called “Deutsche Bank SpA”. Origins and founder The first four years of BAI‘s existence, following its foundation in Naples on 14 November 1917, already gives a clue as to the strongly international char- acter that the bank was to develop during the coming years. It was founded by a group of Italian businessmen under the name ‘Banca dell‘Italia Meridionale’, and already in August of its second year of operations the bank was appoint- ed as representative in Italy for two US banks: Bank of Italy and East River National Bank. The first chairman, Giuseppe Caravita, Prince of Sirignano (died in 1920), was one of the prime movers behind the initiative. The deputy chairman was Giuseppe Di Luggo, the managing director was Carlo Caprioli. The bank opened for business on 15 June 1918 in what would prove to be a difficult period immediately after the end of the Great War. Its capital was immediately increased from 3 million lire to 15 million lire and premises were rented in Naples at 11 Via Santa Brigida, in the same street where Deutsche Bank still has its main Naples office. The bank opened to the public even though building work on the premises was not finished until early 1920. In its 1919 annual report the bank writes, with charming sincerity, that „all shareholders, who know in what conditions our beloved officers and staff have to work, will want to thank them warmly, and will also want to extend their thanks to the customers, who have, perforce, to be received in cramped and unsuitable premises but who have never complained and have always praised the speed Banca dell‘Italia Meridionale in Naples with which the bank works and the politeness and competence of our staff“.

  • Giuliano Montaldo

    Giuliano Montaldo

    Comunicato stampa 27 aprile 2011 Venerdì 29 serata speciale con Giuliano Montaldo Il programma di iniziative predisposto dal Comune di Cadoneghe per celebrare la ricorrenza del 25 aprile, Festa della Liberazione, prosegue con un appuntamento di eccezione: venerdì 29 aprile in Sala Consiliare (dalle ore 20.30) il sindaco Mirco Gastaldon e la Giunta incontrano il regista Giuliano Montaldo. Intervengono il prof. Vincenzo Milanesi (Università di Padova) e il prof. Giorgio Tinazzi (Università di Padova). Ingresso libero. Nel corso della serata Montaldo parlerà anche della sua ultima fatica. Il regista proprio in questi giorni sta ultimando il montaggio del suo nuovo film, L’industriale, girato a Torino con protagonisti Pierfrancesco Favino e Carolina Crescentini. La pellicola, il cui soggetto prende spunto dalla attuale crisi economica ed è stato scritto a 4 mani da Montaldo con il giornalista e scrittore Andrea Purgatori, uscirà nei prossimi mesi. A seguire, proiezione del film L’Agnese va a morire, film di Giuliano Montaldo del 1976 con Michele Placido, Ingrid Thulin, Stefano Satta Flores, Dina Sassoli, tratto dal romanzo (1949) di Renata Viganò. Ucciso dai tedeschi il marito comunista, contadina analfabeta partecipa alla lotta partigiana, emancipandosi anche come donna. È il 1° (e l'unico) film italiano sulla Resistenza che ha per protagonista una donna. Dignitosamente illustrativo, privilegia gli intenti informativi su quelli celebrativi e ha un salto di qualità nella parte finale, grazie a un'ottima Thulin e alla fotogenia delle valli di Comacchio. (Morando Morandini) SCHEDA GIULIANO MONTALDO Giuliano Montaldo esordisce nel cinema come attore in film come Achtung Banditi e Cronache di poveri amanti di Carlo Lizzani, Gli Sbandati di Citto Maselli.
