machismo

The other
by Monica Giorgi

Private conversation in a public place with Patrizia D'Addario, the world's most famous escort (after the "story" with Berlusconi). A reflection of many voices in the private, public, high politics, sex and power.

 

... "No, I go on like this' ... Simply baffling statement of truth or pure living on their skin, inscribed in the body? Not only one, or only the other: mixture of both to the heart of a story. And it is already policy.
Without preconditions of any kind if not the order of the word, the peremptory nature of desire and brokerage relationships, responding to "What do you expect from this fight?" Patrizia D'Addario - the world's most popular escort - expresses the sense of its being in conflict with the man who has the main government office, for what felt the most powerful man in Italy.
The application is placed in the middle of the meeting with the other, private conversation in a public place, which took place in Lugano in May.
I developed the idea for some time to meet to talk directly to her. But I wanted to do it in a physical space that was public and open. The intent was to involve those friends who objected on the history, of which D'Addario is the protagonist, calling each other "gossippara" totally private would not be kept in the account of "operations" high political level.
I instead called the story in a different way. There I covered high values of politics, precisely where they denied the objections raised: the so-called "gossip" in private bodies and into the sentiments that animate, in love relationships that go beyond the public opinion of moralistic virtue.

In all worship

In the face of attempts by the power (and generalizing the media) to disguise, dissimulate it with clothes that are suitable to his empire through clichés, from that same insistent power and upheld - that the most ignorant of the other malicious per se - Patrizia D'Addario is the woman who moves in to expose the whole lordship, she is not victim, the singular truth of the testimony, from her 'painful' experience.
The occasion does not fail, it happens sooner or later the desire to resist. Exits in fact “Gradisca, Presidente “ (accept, President), Patrizia D'Addario, where the book tells her life before and after the night at Palazzo Grazioli. You think you know everything already, you already know how things went. But you have not heard her, warns the back cover.
The thing that press (and I determined to prepare the meeting) is, as I said, in showing how life invades private life public and establish the forms of participation.
