N.082 - Il Postino

Thirty years after the death of Massimo Troisi, Alessandra Loreti’s illustration remembers an extraordinary and irreplaceable Neapolitan talent. An artist who owed his inspiration and greatness to Naples, and to whom Naples owes a place in its history, in the eternity of its culture. Alongside him, his final masterpiece: Il Postino. A film with a poetic, melancholic atmosphere that captures the beauty and simplicity of everyday life through the friendship between a postman and an exiled poet, set against the enchanting backdrop of Procida. Il Postino still holds Troisi’s heart intact, the heart he refused to let fail before completing the film. He left it there, sacrificing himself, in what became his greatest act of love for art. For this, and for everything else, he will live forever.
