It could only happen in Palermo
Marco Gambino in conversation with Ornella Tarantola retraces the life of his mother, Annamaria Tosini
Annamaria Tosini was born in Palermo in 1930. Her life, from being a “capricious” child, second of five siblings, to becoming a wife and mother of two children, runs between art and beauty against the backdrop of a city in distress. Annamaria manages to create an aura of magic – through themed parties, cultural gatherings, musical evenings. When the passing of time threatens to stop her, Annamaria transforms herself, performing her ultimate and final spell.
During the evening, Marco will perform Giuseppina Torregrossa’s short monologue “La sorpresa” (“The Surprise”), especially written for the occasion and freely inspired by real events.
The event will be in Italian with simultaneous translation
