Pensaci Giacomino, con Pippo Pattavina

The new theatrical season 24/25 of the Cinema Teatro Lovaglio in Venosa continues.

Next appointment: January 24, 2024 with "Pensaci Giacomino" with Pippo Pattavina.

"Pensaci Giacomino" represents one of the works in which Pirandello is able to give intense body to a profound criticism, far from the trivializing temptations of social conventions, hypocrisy, and masks with which ordinary people disguise their lack of ethical principles. Professor Agostino Toti, a high school teacher, is rather old and discredited in the eyes of students and colleagues. Alone against everyone, he feels unable to continue teaching. Toti harbors resentment towards society as a whole. To get back at the state, which he blames for his failure, he marries a very young girl, Lillina. Lillina is pregnant by a young man from the town, Giacomino, but this does not distract Toti from his purpose, nor does it seem to bother him much.
