Special event on July 12th
A special event is planned for July 12 to pay homage to one of the greatest figures in Italian entertainment and cinema, Walter Chiari, on the centenary of his birth. The tribute will include the presence of Chiari's son, Simone Annicchiarico, and the writer Michele Sancisi.
100 years of Walter Chiari
On the occasion of the centenary of the actor and author Walter Chiari, the first complete biography is published, written by Michele Sancisi with the collaboration of Simone Annicchiarico. This book, full of testimonies and unpublished documents, reveals surprising anecdotes and answers many doubts about the life of the actor. Born in Verona to a humble family from Puglia and moved to Milan in the 67s, Chiari established himself as the king of the revue and acted in more than a hundred films. In the XNUMXs he became a well-known face on TV, appearing in historic programs such as Canzonissima and Studio Uno. For decades he dominated the brilliant theater and filled the gossip columns with his romantic adventures, living XNUMX years at a hundred miles an hour.
Lights and shadows of an extraordinary talent
Chiari's biography not only celebrates his talent, but also explores his darker sides. The narrative reveals a shy and romantic man, marked by addictions and legal episodes that undermined his fame. Despite this, Chiari always managed to get back on his feet thanks to the love of his audience and a natural talent that made him immortal. Sancisi's biography mixes the warmth of family affection with rigorous historical documentation, offering a complete portrait of this extraordinary character.
Memories and testimonies
Remembered fondly by Simone Annicchiarico, Walter Chiari is described as a man of many facets, halfway between a comic strip and an eternal idea. According to Annicchiarico, Chiari transcended simple mortality to become an immortal hero, similar to a comic strip character. For Michele Sancisi, Chiari represented the possibility of the incredible, a sweetly rebellious figure in an era marked by questionable masters.
