How long have you been looking for your blog?

L’Abbate: Vito, as a child, I read a lot of newspapers and I was passionate about so many news. I graduated in 2017 at the faculty of letters in Bari with theatrical culture address I continued to study to understand the artistic world from a different point of view.

Then a long time ago in 2012 I wrote some article about the “Voce del Paese-Casamassima web” directed then by Marilena Rodi on a press conference of a famous ophthalmist of Bari held at the literary coffee Macondo and both Marilena and Marcella loved my article.

But in the following days my friend Marcella Zaccheo gave me a advice to create my own personal blog where I write everything about my subject of studies, i.e. cinema, theater, show and everything that concerns the artistic world. That's why it was easy. I created with the Wordpress my blog and started contacting artists those who like not only me, but also to my many affectionate readers!

“I would be delighted to talk about the Italian theater and cinema with him”

What was the most beautiful interview you did?

L’Abbate: There is no one who is ugly. My interviews are not repetitive, indeed they are written according to the knowledge I learned during my university studies! In fact, many artists, I mention one Ron, have appreciated my knowledge and above all they say that my questions are not trivial, and this strengthens me more and more. One of the interviews that I did and that is the most beautiful was that to Stefano Jurgens, because it is a particular interview because it was the story of the television script!

Who would you like to interview?

L’Abbate: “As I said at first I contact artists who like not only me, but also to my many affectionate readers! Well, a name could be Colin Firth. I'd be very happy to talk about Italian theater and cinema with him. I know that he lives in Umbria in Città delle Piave speaks fluently in Italian (because he is married to Italian director Livia Giuggioli) and sometimes teaches and makes seminars at the University of Rome Tre.

Another name I would like to interview in the film world is Tom Hanks and then Marily Streep my idol Jason Prestley (Beverlhi Hills Brandon). In Italy for example I would like to interview Amadeus, Carlo Conti, Pippo Baudo, Carrà, Maria De Filippi, as actor Carlo Verdone, Marco Giallini, Lorenzo Flayerthi, Giorgio Lupano, Alessio Boni, I repeat I love the artists who have a proper cognitive base theatrical, television, radio and other.

But that make their passion a just and real profession not fictitious.”

“But that make their passion a just and real profession and not fictitious”

Who inspires you when you do an interview?

L’Abbate: I love Vincenzo Mollica, the director of do-re-ciak Gulp (no because he is identical to my uncle paterno ihh rido), but because his interviews look a lot like what I would like to do. I remember the live interview on the tg1 that Mollica made in 2017 to George Clooney for the presentation “Suberbican”, an interview he wanted to ask for the international corrupt American policy. Duration this interview 10 seconds but beautiful and usable.

Clooney said, “Remember dear Italian public that Mollica is not only a very good journalist, but also a treasure and take an example from him.” I'm inspired by Mollica because it's really brilliant.

Who's funny and who's looking out for the TV world?

L’Abbate: Cito Pirandello “We are one/none and one hundred thousand”. I love all TV programs, but I love, I repeat another time, the artists who have a well-advanced real knowledge base just and not phytitious
