Belcanto: the review of the Rai1 fiction

When we learned about a new Rai costume fiction entitled Belcanto We immediately thought of when, in the mid -2000s, on television they began to go to the fashion of the series set in distant eras, equipped with that glitter that it was so difficult to find in modern times. After the success of Elisa di RivombrosaOf Pride and other titles such as Ribelle land And The Certosa di Parma It seemed, however, that the vein had run out, considering that the public seemed to have more needed stories close to their days than in those set in the lounges of high aristocracy. Belcantohowever, makes us understand that certain things, with the passing of the centuries, never pass, And that’s why seeing the first two episodes of the series has immersed us in a story deliberately tangled but with a high rate of emotional involvement ideal to spend an evening in company. Everything starts from the mid -nineteenth century Naples, particularly from a mother, Maria (Vittoria Pucciniwhich seems immune to the test of time considering that it is practically identical to when it did Elisa di Rivombrosa on Canale 5), who dreams that his beautiful daughter Antonia (Caterina Ferioli) Get fame and success because of her singing skills inherited by herself.

Of course the mother’s dream meets the hostility of Husband-Padrone Iginio (Antonio Gerardi), who would like the women of his family to be subjected to his will renouncing any dream of glory which, in the case of Mary and Antonia, coincides with the Moving to Milan to support an audition in the world of lyric. Thanks to the complicity of the second son Carolina (Adriana Savarese), rebellious soul surprisingly hindered by her mother who since she was little chose to neglect her to concentrate her attention on the eldest daughter, The three women manage to free themselves from the grip of Iginio and to get to the northtrying to make room in a hostile world where man is always the last word. Mary, however, former promise of lyric, He is a woman from Worldand that’s why he puts all his stubbornness to make sure that Antonia can experience the dream that she has not been able to make come true, becoming an emblem of the Italian Belcanto in the world.

Together with a swing of characters, from Domenico (Carmine shore) who brings his help to Mary in the moment of need, to Enrico (Giacomo Giorgiomore and better) who starts trying something for the rebel Carolina, passing through the very severe master Crescenzi (Vincenzo Ferrera), the legeist Maddalena (Serena De Ferrari) and the tenor Giacomo Lotti (Andrea Bosca), Belcanto, A Rai Fiction-Jucky Red co-production with Umedia in collaboration with Ufunds and in participation with Newen Connect, It is proof that writing and interpretation must necessarily go hand in hand To be able to conquer an increasingly hungry spectator of happy ending stories. And if we already understand that love in the series will be more an obstacle than a salvation, we cannot fail to fall in love not only with the careful historical reconstruction, of Directed by Carmine Elia and the script signed by Andrea Valagusta, Federico Fava, Antonio Manca, Mariano Di Nardo, but also of a series of Topoi who made the fortune of a certain literature. From the female revenge to the redemption of a girl, Carolina, who It is a bit of the Cinderella of history. The result is a very pleasant fiction that we hope will meet the success we deserve.
