CON IL VOSTRO IRRIDENTE SILENZIO

Description

The set of papers written by Aldo Moro in the 55 days of his imprisonment represents a spectre that still occupies the stage of our history of shadows.

Aldo Moro during his imprisonment speaks, remembers, writes, responds, questions, confesses, accuses and takes leave. He multiplies words on paper: he writes letters, addresses family members, friends, party colleagues and Institutional representatives; notes short testamentary provisions. And together he composes a long political, historical, personal text – the so-called memoir – starting from the questions posed by his captors.
The letters and the memorial are Moro’s last words, the set of papers written in the 55 days of his imprisonment. An unstoppable river of words that we immediately tried to stem, silence, mystify, mock. The press, almost unanimously, hammered public opinion by disavowing his words, while Moro shouted his indignation from prison at this further cruel torture. Forty years later, the fate of these cards has not changed much. Few people have actually read them, many have chosen to forget them.
Fabrizio Gifuni, through a painful and obstinate work of dramaturgy, confronts the roughest and most naked writing in the history of Italy.
