Achille Campanile’s Comedy “Il povero Piero” at Villanuova Festival

The “Il Giorno” of the mythical years boasted within its editorial staff the great humorous writer Achille Campanile. He is the author of the brilliant comedy “Il povero Piero”, which will be performed tomorrow at the Corallo di Villanuova, as part of the Festival of theatre, music, and diverse humanity for Garda, Valle Sabbia, and beyond. Since yesterday, the witty and amusing show has been promoted throughout the province by wall posters and placards. The comedy, performed in Brescia vernacular, flawlessly combines fidelity to Achille Campanile’s text with the lively energy of rustic Brescia speech.

The Death of Pietro Davanza

Pietro Davanza has passed away. Poer Piero! “By his explicit wishes the news of his departure — explains director Pier Emilio Gabusi — will be announced only after the funeral. This sets the stage for a peculiar situation, destined to cause difficulties and hardships for his family. What will they devise to honor his testamentary wish?

They will do the maximum humanly possible, but inevitably the devil will get involved, and the situation will slip out of their hands.
