Christian De sica he is at home in Cortina d’Ampezzo: here he filmed Christmas holidaysit was 1983, the sequels Christmas holidays 2000 And Christmas holidays in Cortina (2011) and much more. We met him in the town at the foot of the Dolomites not on the set of a new one cinepanettonebut as president of the jury of the seventeenth Cortinametraggiothe short festival conceived by Maddalena Mayneri.
What comes to your mind when you arrive in Cortina?
“A lot of things. The Vanzina cinepanettoni, the commercials, my father who made the film Lovers with Faye Dunaway and Marcello Mastroianni, I remember that he had a cabin built which was then demolished. I also lived here for six months. I was fine ».
With the first Christmas film it was the turning point.
«My wife Silvia (Verdone ed) and I were practically starving. When I went to see the private screening of Christmas holidays I said to myself: “From today if magna”. Since that moment our life has changed ».

And today the comedy has changed along with Italy. Politically correct is in the public domain. What do you think?
“Italy has become more boorish and politically correct in comedy is a rip off. Checco Zalone doesn’t care and has a great success, while the old and above all the young comedians are afraid to make people laugh. It’s nonsense, comedy also thrives on malice. We laugh more about the devil than about Padre Pio, Hitler can take the piss. Alberto Sordi was of an unprecedented malice: he played the xylophone on the heads of his old women. Politically correct casts the comedians and if you notice in the cinemas there are no roars of laughter like in the 70s and 80s. There’s giggles and gentle romantic comedies today. ‘
Would you make a film with Checco Zalone?
“Maybe, I respect him a lot, besides being an intelligent person he is a great jazz player and I am a great fan”.
