‘Gomorra’ at the grand finale on Sky, Ciro and Genny once again compared

‘Gomorra’ at the end of the line: we are at the grand finale of a TV series – from November 19th on Sky and streaming on Now, for five Fridays – which from Italy, by Sky Original and produced by Cattleya with Beta Film, has conquered the market international television of over 190 countries, starting from the novel by Roberto Saviano published by Mondadori and arriving after a ‘work in progress’ of 58 episodes distributed in five seasons for eight years, at ‘The End’ with certain regret for the viewers, also ill-concealed from the protagonists, starting with the two negative ‘heroes’ of the series: Ciro and Genny, or Marco D’Amore – also in the role of director of six episodes out of ten with the other four directed by Claudio Cupellini – and Salvatore Esposito, side by side between the others by Ivana Lotito ‘Azzurra’, Arturo Muselli ‘Enzo Sangue Blu’, Mimmo Borrelli ‘or Maestrale’. The two protagonists, in the ten final episodes shot not only in Naples but also in Rome and Riga in Latvia, with the background of the music of Mokadelic, will return to confront each other, “talking eye to eye, I would say nose to nose, to prevent the other any other view, any other visibility “, explains the writer Roberto Saviano, presenting with directors, actors and producers ‘Gomorrah: the series – final season’ at the Brancaccio theater in Rome. “Theirs is a common destiny, a challenge and at the same time a relationship of intimacy”. A series that, for Marco D’Amore, “indicates the danger of a tightrope walker, so that no one would dare to walk on it”. All that simple? “Not at all; on the contrary: all very difficult and complicated, nothing to do with simple and easy things. Also for this reason, the series has marked our life and in a profound way my life, that I escaped from that land when I was only 18 “, confesses the actor and director. And ‘Ciro’ can only be echoed by ‘Genny’:” We are at the end of a long journey, the result of a collective work in front of and behind the camera, which has had strong effects on all of us; a tiring journey – admits Salvatore Esposito – which made me grow not only as an artist but also as a man. Now, when we reach the end, it’s like when a relationship ends: you feel melancholy, you feel sad , but there is also an awareness of what has been given and received “. (by Enzo Bonaiuto)
