Sergio Castellitto is back on TV: he doesn’t have social media, his marriage to Margaret Mazzantini, 7 secrets

“There was no artist so loved in life, comparable to a rock star, and so cursed and hated in death”: this is what Sergio Castellitto said about Gabriele D’Annunzio, a character he played in the film “The Bad Poet” by Gianluca Jodice (2020). «Elsa Morante said he was an imbecile, for Arbasino he was a corpse to be kept in the cellar, Pasolini hated him. But then there is the gift that cinema can give, even if I had understood earlier that D’Annunzio was a genius. If there is a figure comparable to him it is Pasolini, the soldier poet who embodies life, anger and death in his own body». While waiting to see the film, broadcast on Friday 7 July at 21.20 on Rai3 on prime TV, here is a collection of curiosities and anecdotes about the Roman actor, who over the course of his career has lent his face to many real characters (he was for example Fausto Coppi, Don Lorenzo Milani, Padre Pio, Aldo Moro, Angelo Vassallo, Rocco Chinnici and Enzo Ferrari).
