Roberto Andò: Surely art can be an ark in which to welcome and save a child like Ciro. The hidden child: Silvio Orlando and Giuseppe Pirozzi in a scene from the film I believe that many men, especially in recent years, who live those realities can be close to the conflicts of the character I tell. The criminal life that he chooses to make this character and the possibility instead of redeeming himself, of living in the beauty of music and art are rather antipodal positions. Art has a positively dangerous aspect, because it undermines our certainties. But clearly it destabilizes a world, even for a normal person. Lino Musella: Yes, it is enough to save us. In your opinion is art enough to save us or not? The hidden child and the saving power of artīy connecting us to your character: he could change his life playing the piano and instead decides not to. The hidden child, Silvio Orlando: “Even the most exquisite art if it is not shared is a sterile art” It is a figure that in some way is precisely the disfigured, violent Naples, which is basically waiting to be saved. And in this tortuous way he has this relationship of devotion and also of harassment towards this professor. He knows very well that he could have taken another route. This student character, played by Lino, is one who has been thrown out of the conservatory and basically has a resentment towards the professor. It exists when it sets something different in motion. But I particularly care about friendship. Maybe even a book can save us, I don’t know. Lino Musella: All the books in the world are not worth a coffee with a friend … it’s wonderful! I can agree when it comes to human contact, relationships, relationships, I think that’s what saves us. Do you think yours can be read in this key? The hidden child made me think of a phrase from another film, Centochiodi by Ermanno Olmi, or rather: “all the books in the world are not worth a coffee with a friend”. The hidden child and the importance of sharing The hidden child, the review: Escape to freedom We talked about it with the actor and director, met at the Lido of Venice. The scenes between him and Silvio Orlando are among the best in the film by Roberto went. We saw it in Favolacce by the D’Innocenzo brothers, Here I laugh by Mario Martone, soon in It was the hand of God by Paolo Sorrentino. To give it body and voice is Lino Musella, among the prolific Italian actors of recent years. Among these is Diego, a former music student who got kicked out of the conservatory. The hidden child is the story of a piano teacher, Gabriele Santoro, played by Silvio Orlando, who finds a child at home, Ciro (Giuseppe Pirozzi), threatened by criminals.
