00:00:01.060 --> 00:00:06.044
Seeing, looking - they are nothing unless you enter people's heart.

00:00:06.044 --> 00:00:09.088
The eyes are the entrance to the heart.

00:00:09.088 --> 00:00:14.027
Because that's where truth, obscured by image, comes from.

00:00:14.027 --> 00:00:17.007
I saw very well, once, you know.

00:00:17.007 --> 00:00:22.007
Then, because of a very banal blow on the head, I was able to

00:00:22.007 --> 00:00:26.028
become totally blind and to enter a new world,

00:00:26.028 --> 00:00:32.084
the world of exaltaion, emotions, sounds, smells...

00:00:32.084 --> 00:00:36.067
But also of my being within a body I do not see any longer.

00:00:36.067 --> 00:00:41.092
And often, I'm not even quite sure where it is.

00:00:41.092 --> 00:00:46.032
Artù, let's shut the last one and we'll be done.

00:00:46.032 --> 00:00:48.020
So...

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:51.075
First the inside flaps...

00:00:51.075 --> 00:00:58.064
Scotch tape is here.

00:00:58.064 --> 00:01:02.075
Artù, you bet I make it at the first go?

00:01:02.075 --> 00:01:04.092
No.

00:01:04.092 --> 00:01:14.031
She sings: Coming Round Again

00:01:14.031 --> 00:01:27.043
Song: Coming Round Again

00:01:27.043 --> 00:01:42.015
Clapping

00:01:42.015 --> 00:01:44.079
(voice synthesis) I miss you a lot too.

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.007
This morning I went to the beach, it seemed I was smelling your perfume.

00:01:50.007 --> 00:01:56.007
I turned round abruptly, and for an instant I had the illusion that ou were here.

00:01:56.007 --> 00:01:59.040
(voice synthesis) I was on the other side of the world, Lauda.

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.020
(voice synthesis) It's difficult for me too, I feel I can't manage

00:02:03.020 --> 00:02:06.043
to give you what you need.

00:02:06.043 --> 00:02:09.024
I want to hear the sound of your voice.

00:02:09.024 --> 00:02:11.068
Can we hear each other by phone?

00:02:11.068 --> 00:02:14.000
She's not here yet. You know what?

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.068
I'll finish the audio book I started three days ago.

00:02:17.068 --> 00:02:21.047
Rather than an audio book, it's one of the old radio dramas made by RAI

00:02:21.047 --> 00:02:24.096
before it became the slave of the government.

00:02:24.096 --> 00:02:28.063
Did I tell you that, Artù? It's called "The Glass Menagerie".

00:02:28.063 --> 00:02:32.012
Written by Tennessee Williams, an American playwright.

00:02:32.012 --> 00:02:34.080
The main character limps, and instead of going

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.091
to the typing lessons her mother registered her for,

00:02:37.091 --> 00:02:41.012
she spends all her time in the park or at the movies.

00:02:41.012 --> 00:02:44.015
Happy she. Her name is Laura, eh?

00:02:44.015 --> 00:02:46.043
Do you understand what nice couple we are, I and this Laura?

00:02:46.043 --> 00:02:48.036
She limps, and I'm blind.

00:02:48.036 --> 00:02:53.008
"Glass menagerie", because of the glass knickknacks she keeps on her coffee table.

00:02:53.008 --> 00:02:56.056
Another coincidence. I hadn't noticed it!

00:02:56.056 --> 00:03:01.028
Artù, let's go and listen how this story ends. Let's go.

00:03:01.028 --> 00:03:05.052
You teach him to say "Sorry, please, thank you."

00:03:05.052 --> 00:03:07.036
Behave, Artù.

00:03:07.036 --> 00:03:11.056
Is it your car? Don't you know parking on the pedestrian crossing is forbidden?

00:03:15.059 --> 00:03:19.052
You went to the tobacconist's for a minute? And thus you are justified?

00:03:19.052 --> 00:03:21.036
You mustn't park on the pedestrian crossing.

00:03:21.036 --> 00:03:23.071
The dog is trained to guide me to the pedestrian crossing.

00:03:23.071 --> 00:03:26.056
If you cover them with your car, tell me what it can see?

00:03:26.056 --> 00:03:30.040
And what should I do? Stay here for the whole day because you must go to the tobacconist's for a minute?

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:34.003
And what if a wheelchair must get by? How can the person manage?

00:03:34.003 --> 00:03:36.031
I am exaggerating?

00:03:36.031 --> 00:03:43.000
It's nothing?

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.008
Putting the helmet on ten minutes before the accident

00:03:46.008 --> 00:03:49.003
that changes your life... Food for thought.

00:03:49.003 --> 00:03:54.003
I put it on exactly ten minutes before I flew off.

00:03:54.003 --> 00:03:57.047
I'd just taken it out of the box.

00:03:57.047 --> 00:04:08.043
I was shutting and... LOUD NOISES

00:04:08.043 --> 00:04:21.004
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC

00:04:21.004 --> 00:04:23.051
I can no longer go out when I want to.

00:04:23.051 --> 00:04:28.007
I can no longer decide: "I'm fed up, I'm leaving."

00:04:28.007 --> 00:04:31.019
I can no longer read with my eyes

00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:36.043
a good novel, but neither an ad for a washing-up liquid.

00:04:36.043 --> 00:04:42.024
And no text-to-speech will read me the things I wrote by hand.

00:04:42.024 --> 00:04:46.072
I won't be able to see Rome anymore... And here I should stop.

00:04:46.072 --> 00:04:49.083
What else do you want to say? Rome....

00:04:49.083 --> 00:04:53.027
I never missed an exhibition.

00:04:53.027 --> 00:04:56.087
Escher, Dalì, Artemisia Gentileschi.

00:04:56.087 --> 00:05:01.048
Caravaggio... And who can forget those bodies.

00:05:01.048 --> 00:05:05.063
Those lines, those colors...

00:05:05.063 --> 00:05:08.036
Those emotions.

00:05:08.036 --> 00:05:15.007
I'd enter a church, or a museum, and I lost myself in all this beauty.

00:05:15.007 --> 00:05:27.007
I lost myself.

00:05:27.007 --> 00:05:30.039
(With a Roman accent:) Are we making a comedy? Are you joking?

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:34.063
Artù, let's make a comedy! And how should I call it?

00:05:34.063 --> 00:05:37.031
Why can't I call it a comedy?

00:05:37.031 --> 00:05:40.031
Theater show or drama?

00:05:40.031 --> 00:05:44.068
We might as well call it a tragedy.

00:05:44.068 --> 00:05:47.036
Crisis - equals - danger.

00:05:47.036 --> 00:05:50.012
Crisis - equals - opportunity.

00:05:50.012 --> 00:05:58.016
Crisis - equals - danger. Crisis - equals - opportunity.

00:05:58.016 --> 00:06:05.080
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:09.043
Are you calling me about the insurance?

00:06:09.043 --> 00:06:13.083
No, I don't intend to meet you, I don't live in Rome anymore.

00:06:13.083 --> 00:06:18.056
How dare you call me? After such a long time!

00:06:18.056 --> 00:06:21.075
I thought a lot about you too, you know?

00:06:21.075 --> 00:06:25.024
I thought about you and your white Mercedes.

00:06:25.024 --> 00:06:30.043
Every day, for all these years, your white Mercedes greets me.

00:06:30.043 --> 00:06:34.016
Every morning, you know?

00:06:34.016 --> 00:06:39.083
But what are you doing? You're crying? I haven't cried for a long time.

00:06:39.083 --> 00:06:46.083
And in an instant life... Your life, mine....

00:06:46.083 --> 00:06:49.012
can change.

00:06:49.012 --> 00:06:54.083
Forever.

00:06:54.083 --> 00:06:58.024
But without life

00:06:58.024 --> 00:07:01.031
which gave me so much

00:07:01.031 --> 00:07:13.012
Song: Gracias a la vida

00:07:13.012 --> 00:07:32.039
Clapping

00:07:32.039 --> 00:08:14.092
Clapping

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:29.016
Good night, everybody, and thanks for being here.

00:08:29.016 --> 00:08:31.051
I hope you enjoyed the show.

00:08:31.051 --> 00:08:35.008
I'd like to thank Elena, who was excellent.

00:08:35.008 --> 99:59:59.999
