About :
When he writes his "last wishes to be respected", in a thin hand slanted to the right, Luigi Pirandello proceeds by subtraction. Like his fellow countryman Giovanni Verga, the great Sicilian playwright, Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 1934, also uses few words. Pirandello asks for silence, solitude, simplicity. He does not want to be celebrated or remembered. He does ask, however, for prayers, from friends and enemies, even though he has always been critical of the Church. In reality, these are secular prayers, a very human request for consolation and comfort for the final journey. A century before Pirandello, another famous man of letters, the Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, had been more far-sighted: he too had not appointed an executor, but on the other hand, in addition to meticulously establishing legacies and charities, he had indicated ten legal guardians who could take care of his son, then thirteen years old. Lina Cavalieri, the actress of the early 1900s defined as "the most beautiful woman in the world", will do something similar, leaving everything to her only son Alessandro. The boy will have only one obligation: "Pay one hundred thousand lire to the Royal Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome for the establishment of a singing scholarship for a needy young girl from the province of Rome". The same attention for the less fortunate that another great Italian artist had: Giuseppe Verdi. Four stories that highlight the importance of a figure like that of the executor of a will. With the voices of Paolo Di Stefano, Enrico Girardi and the president of Italian notaries Giulio Biino. "The Last Will" is a podcast produced by Corriere della Sera in collaboration with the National Council of Notaries. It comes out every Friday.
