R OMA -''I wrote 29 pieces in 50 years, and 'enough? Certainly is' for me.'' Harold Pinter was fond of repeating this phrase in recent years, marked by the illness that struck in 2002, the satisfaction of having the Nobel Prize in 2005, but also by the desire for renewed political commitment and civil rights, who had fits of

We live in the repression and pretend to live in freedom'').

This is news. In truth there are no words to describe the importance and influence of this man in the world of culture and the "resistance." This resistance that drives the intellect to react against the ugly of an era made of injustice and violence. Why Harold Pinter, the first of a great artist, he was a great citizen. A man who has never lost sight of the moral and civic value of the theater and the importance of art in a society worthy of the name. I happened to see him in person only once, sitting in the audience at the Teatro dei Filodrammatici Milan. On stage there was a draft. Eventually I approached, full of youthful curiosity towards a great master. But in the general confusion are only able to tell a shy "Thank you". He smiled. And I'm left with my fellow Academy. I was ashamed as a thief. Thank Harold Pinter seemed absurd. I wondered what I had jumped on his head. But now, after nearly four years, I think it's the only way to pay tribute to the work of an author (as well as director and actor) able to remain a free and courageous voice in the West now in the twilight.
Now I want to repeat it. Thanks Harold. Wherever you are.
Marco.
