I accepted the invitation, with a great (and expensive) restaurant in Pescara, where the friend of my acquaintance was clearly at home.
This character, from now on I will call for the sake of narrative "Smurf" was everything to make nice openly flaunting the symbols of his status, gold watch, the German car of course and black with tinted windows and the ever-divided by commis d'affaire high board: pinstripe suit, but with conspicuously shirt open at the neck of a bull sanctified the baroque gold crucifix.
Despite his familiarity with the menu and wine list, chosen on the basis of price, Smurf had obvious difficulty in managing his fork with his left hand he used to impale the bread instead of white ignorance, while still talking, chewing.
It reminded me of the speck of Albanian politics.
We started a general conversation, asked me how I had spent Christmas and when I told him that I had been on a military base in Lebanon UNIFIL with our soldiers responded with these words: I also love Africa, I always go to Sharm el Sheik .. .
Another gem of the evening was when I pointed out that as an Abruzzese Corradino D'Ascanio was virtually unknown to the Abruzzi and in fact he asked me who he was. To simplify
told him that and he was the inventor of the helicopter, talking, laughing and chewing at the same time he said: A I, I fly on those things we mica, there I care about my life !
Then I spoke of Pescara Calcio Virtus Lanciano and so well handled by two beautiful girls Abruzzo and when he realized that I felt no interest in football and that unfortunately did not know who were these two beautiful Abruzzo looked at me with pity, highlighting a lack of association with dental offices.
Then came to the point: we were there for dinner because he was very impressed by the beauty of my movies for oil (sic) and was especially impressed with a never defined President, to the point that this president wanted to entrust an important task to produce a beautiful movies or Abruzzo. But the president could not do it publicly, because otherwise they would be exposed and everyone would have thought it did favoritism, so the president had instructed him, Smurf, to bring the issue forward.
He asked me what car I had, looked carefully at my swatch from 70 €, noting that wrinkled her nose on my shirt slightly open living under a cashmere sweater, did not appear any chain or necklace with Christ and the saints and when we parted almost looked with apprehension on my leather jacket worn by time and I love to be at least twenty years as Linus loves his blanket.
After a few days ago he called me saying he would come to Lancaster and we should definitely meet because had some wonderful news for me.
fish restaurant, this time only two of us, the usual chatter and the second bottle of Pecorino change the tone and go to you.
Antonio, but a good one as you understand that you are doing all this mess because he knows where he wants to go.
Why, where are we heading? ask him.
Anton but I promise you at this time 25 000 €, that's right, twenty five thousand euro - marking the number and repeatedly beating his chest on the left, where there is also the heart and the wallet - the would do away with bullshit is that oil is ruining the image of Abruzzo in the world, along with invasive de America?
But you've put into your head? That's un'invasata and it is in America and Okay but you're a smart, if he understands, and 25 000 € you want to make movies!
I had suspected from the outset that this was his goal, but his output so direct and I had the misery of the displaced.
I thought a little, I poured a bit of cheese from the second bottle just opened and rearranged the ideas I answered: 25 000 €
These are just a nice way to start our collaboration, the first installment needed to strengthen the Movement ( New Civic Way) and turn it into an instrument much stronger at home and arranged to send a political class made up of people miserable greedy, corrupt, corrupt and ignorant.
Lunch virtually ended there because Smurf stood up with the second bottle of Pecorino just begun, no dessert, coffee and coffee kills. I would have liked to say that I had started to make movies against and not for the oil Abruzzo after hearing a lecture by quell'invasata de American oil and that this story somehow had changed my life and the meaning of my life in Abruzzo, but I have not had the time. But I had the cold to recall when he was already at the door to tell him that I was not going to pay that account: angry and embarrassed to see him come back to check with the restaurant falls silent, I unconcealed joy shone out a child.
I often think that bottle of Pecorino Pasetti almost entirely and abandoned on the table and I also think of this story because I am a very beautiful Abruzzo Abruzzo filmstrip in particular on its political class, I would just do.
And maybe someday I will, and this is not a dream, is a threat.
