(the Tirreno - August 11, 2001) Federico Fellini When he came to Livorno with Tullio Pinelli, in 1947, to prepare the subject of "No mercy," the film that would have been directed by Alberto Lattuada, I immediately asked what had been the Pisorno. Novice reporter of the "Tirreno", I was required to drive the discovery of Fellini and Pinelli Bolster. I did not know who it was Fellini admired instead Pinelli, author, before the war, a very nice play, "The Flea of \u200b\u200bgold." With Fellini ran into a gaffe. He sued the actors in the film, Carla Del Poggio, Lattuada's wife, Folco Lulli, John Kitzmiller, a black American captain, Giulietta Masina, and I ran said: "This Masina who is he?". 'And' my wife, "Fellini said, without appearing offended. Pinelli laughed amused. Moreover, in 1947 Masina was almost a stranger, had only a minor part in "Open City", a film panned by critics Journal in which Fellini was a screenwriter, with Pinelli. But we come to the question of Pisorno. "The Americans have turned it into a warehouse, but now they are freeing" I said. "Sin" Fellini said, "was born as an offshoot of Cinecittà. "You're wrong 'intervened Pinelli. "Cinecittà came after Pisorno. You know, I grew up in Turin was the capital of Italian cinema. Therefore I followed the story of Pisorno that promised to revive our film industry. Oltrettutto the Pisorno was built with the money of Turin, for the accuracy of the Lambs. And without the film, here, there would have been Tirrenia. In fact since 1933 Tirrenia appears between the zoning of the new towns planned by facismo, starting with those arising in the Agro Pontino. And it is in 1932 the establishment of the Autonomous Tirrenia to enhance the tourist Pisan Coast. The announcement, in 1934, explains that "Tirrenia rise in front of a magnificent beach, sandy, should be to modernity, elegance and rationality, the best that can offer today's urban and modern than what exists in this field the most advanced beaches in Europe. " The land use plan of Tirrenia Calambrone was bounded by river and bolster Real Estate. The competition will win the engineer. Federico Severini of Pisa, Florence Coppedè favorite architect and four other designers. But the fact remains that the Pisorno Tirrenia off with the film center of Joachim Forzano. The decision to create it was taken to Turin where force had shot the film 'Villafranca', based on his historical drama written in collaboration with Mussolini. The film had received the financial assistance of Edoardo Agnelli, son of Senator John. And both attended the presentation. Force said: "A knowledge of the background as it was financial difficulties I had encountered to achieve 'Villafranca' in the absence of theaters capable of turning the sound, and Edoardo Agnelli told me:` This is bound to the cinema industry a future great. Why not try to do theater suited to the new technology of sound? '. The board of Giovanni Agnelli and I agree with Edward electrified taken to study these blessed place to build new theaters. " Force wrote: "Where to build? Why shoot the exterior does not cost too much, I thought to choose a place full of natural ability and easy to reach. One day I met Senator Martelli of Vinci, the town of Leonardo, and he told me: `I know you want to bring up the movie theaters. Why do not you go see Tirrenia '. `And where Tirrenia? '. E 'between Livorno and Pisa, but perhaps one day be an entire city with Marina di Pisa'. I went to see Tirrenia. It was all a swamp, that there were vipers and toads. There was only one building, the old tower of the Guardia di Finanza, a fort called Mezzaspiaggia. But, thinking that we could terraform the place make it beautiful, and since the exterior, from the sea to the mountains to the river and the forest, they were all there, the idea appealed to me. I prayed the dear Edward to come and see Tirrenia. At first he was a bit 'undecided, then became convinced and started to build the first theater suitable to shoot the film editor. The first in Italy. " And so arises the Pisorno halfway between Pisa and Livorno. The land for the plant was purchased in part, a hundred thousand square meters to 0.25 francs a meter, and partly rented, some one hundred thousand feet to one million a year. To build it will spend 500 thousand dollars. The capital of the Lambs and industrialist Salvatore Persichetti, who had decided groped the adventure film and will be later The first house in Rome Italian dubbing. The architect is Antonio Valente, who has emerged as a set designer in Paris and Berlin. In 1934 Pisorno is called the little Hollywood in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Cinecittà will only founded in 1937. The first film produced in Tirrenia, with the exterior shot in the island of Elba, Napoleon is the "Field of May," subject strengths and Mussolini. In 1935 the great variety of external between Pisa and Lucca, allowing Luis Trenker, ski champion, actor and director, to make the western "The Emperor of California." At the Court of Force, said, "the captain of the cinema ', is Amedeo Nazzari, Alida Valli and Gino Cervi, Assia Noris, and Vittorio De Sica, Paola Barbara, that the summer can bee seen on the first baths of Tirrenia. The seaside town is launched. The frequent especially Pisa. Livorno who prefer less water from the rocks. A miniature train connects Pisa in 1932 and from 1935 to Calambrone continues to Livorno station Barrier Margherita. The beach from Calambrone goes to Marina di Pisa is very welcoming. Soon, to Livorno, there are institutions heliotherapy and the colonies for the youth. The downside of Tirrenia, at first, is represented by mosquitoes. But asthma sufferers find relief in a pine wood. And the show, in a bathing suit, the young Elsa Di Giorgi, Benassi protagonist of the film "Mrs. Paradise," pays for all bites mosquito. As a variant of the intellectual beauty of Elsa Di Giorgi, there is that sensuous Leda Gloria, who played with Musco's "The air of the continent." Leda Gloria I heard even in the eighties by the "generic" of Marina di Pisa, now retired, who attended the film's Pisorno. Become a restaurateur, one of those 'generic' he told me emphatically Doris Duranti protagonist of "The daughter of Corsaro Verde" with Fosco Giachetti nel'38 that turned "Mrs. Monte Carlo 'for Mario Soldati. At Pisorno, Soldiers found a wife there. "And the most sought-actor?". "On the bathroom was Massimo Girotti, when he worked for Rossellini in` A driver returns'. He had twenty-four. My baptism was held in the restaurant. Another was Nazzari, I remember in the `Count of Bréchard 'with Ferida. The designer was the Leghorn Virgilio Marchi. I recommend the Ferida, a woman-woman. Too bad it ended so badly in the Republic of Salò. Duranti also became a star system, with Pavolini. Moreover, if there was an impresario related film that has been forced to fascism. But fascist nail it in a frame to be exhaustive. This toscanaccio of Borgo San Lorenzo, had already triumphed in London in '21 with the comedy "Sly." And David Belasco, the playwright of "Madame Butterfly," she bought the story for the cinema pagandoglielo three thousand pounds. In '17 Forzano read the libretto of "Gianni Schicchi" Puccini was music, and commented that he was ugly. "Then I'll write you." Said and done. And that book is a masterpiece of humor. Zacconi sent audiences into a frenzy with his "Peter the Great." It 'been forced to create the wagon of Thespis. As a director, was a reformer. His "Daughter of Jorio," in the theater of Vittoriale in front of D'Annunzio, played on two stages, has entered the history of the theater. Force remains one of the fathers of Tirrenia. And his Pisorno, after the war, it rose again interesting. In ten years he produced some fifty films. Loren will debut in "Pilgrims of love." Lollobrigida we came for "Enrico Caruso." Fellini you setting for some scenes of 'No mercy'. It is hoped the intervention of Charles Bridges, but in '58 the Pisorno was left to die. The filming of "No mercy" had a program out in a dance hall. A guy invited Carla Del Poggio to dance, she refused, the arronzò him: "But who do you think of being, Rita Arivortete?. Latta intervened, the guy dropped the punch, Folco Lulli all'energumeno broke a chair over his head. A nice brawl. Fellini decided to cut and run but a second man faced it with the knife and he ran away, crying: "Puliscitici nails." - Aldo Santini
