Although the public, especially the young, know little
about the actor Fabio Garriba was born in Soave on November 13, 1944 and died
in Verona three days ago, on Aug. 9, he was one of the faces of Italian cinema
of the seventies.
In addition to being Mario Garriba’s twin (Voice of the
verb to die, 1970, and On his deathbed, 1971, Pardo d'Oro at work first at the
Locarno Film Festival), Fabio Garriba starred, among others, for the Dziga
Vertov Group (East Wind, 1969), Roberto Rossellini (Augustine of Hippo, 1972),
Luigi Comencini (scientific scopone, 1972), Marco Bellocchio (Slap the monster
on page One, 1972), Luigi Magni (the way of baboons , 1974), Bernardo
Bertolucci (Novecento, 1976) and Ettore Scola (The Sun, 1980). He was also assistant director Bertolucci
(Partner, 1968, inspired by Dostoevsky's The Double), Pier Paolo Pasolini
(Porcile, 1969), Carmelo Bene (Caprices, 1969) and Marco Ferreri (The bitch,
1972).
In 2011, at the Venice Film Festival in Venice paid
tribute to the brothers Garriba (nicknamed "the Woody Allen of Campo de
'Fiori") within the retrospective "Horizons 1960-1978", where,
along with the works of Mario, was screened also a short film written and
directed by the same Fabio (who has also worked as a scriptwriter with Nico
Garrone, father of Matthew director): the relatives all (1967), in which a boy
imagines himself to be dead and to hear comments from family and friends. "This ambiguity reflects my real
situation," said Fabio Garriba.
"It was that of a personal need to see dead and buried my
childhood, my adolescence and thus close relationships with family members to
be able to resurrect adult. Today, a
year later, I can say sincerely that the loaded cash on hearse was empty
because I find myself still wearing my corpse in search of a pit where to bury
him. "
It must not be forgotten Garriba had a parallel career as
a poet. In the presentation of his
latest collection (The hassle of words, whose cover is credited as Garribba),
his friend Bernardo Bertolucci's described him as "accurate and ironic as
the portraitist who is not actually because Fabio is a true poet. The verses of Fabio fall on the page as
droplets and is a miracle if you do not cancel by themselves, while we are
reading them. " The funeral will be held this morning at 8 am at the
Monumental Cemetery.
