"Put one evening at dinner," one of the greatest titles ever invented, a play and later film by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, the great writer and director who died five years ago, is the exercise that we should do in these January evenings forwarded. Putting the soul in peace with the calendar which does not provide more long weekends with bridges of any kind (thank goodness, but we'll talk again), we must sit down to think, finally, to organize a dinner with as it should calls for reasoned, precisely, and not as muddled as ever with mitigating excuses should be called, like "do not call ever - I have to reciprocate - but what how can you not invite? - Is always alone - always asking me - poor guy, I'm sorry "to end with:" what is bona his wife. " No. This evening at my house I want to invite someone to dinner to give me something for the soul, an opportunity for reflection, which tells something of himself, which puts a question insightful, able to make a sound argument, someone who throw on the table, like a raise in the dark, an important subject. Organise a table is an art which is spoken only in the books of Benedetta Craveri the French salons of the time of Madame du Deffand. But then there was television, which imposed the umpteenth night in front of screaming Big Brother there was only a fireplace that was losing its glow, were left to imagine any clothes, and wanting to lose those meandering speeches unleashed crazy just to seduce! Put assorted good people at lunch and then became an obligation under pain of boredom. Then take advantage of this worm in January and try to stage a "place one evening at dinner with, say, Valentino Garavani and ask how the hell invented that has run its" red ", becoming the" red Valentino " , so next Giorgio Armani (where else could meet the two kings of Italian fashion than in a home that does not know anyone?) to ask counter as he has become invented his "greige" (a mixture of gray and beige) that does not exist in nature, not a color provided by the prism. For two tailors who dress and dress as they should be taken two that have nothing to do but that style has to do all along: Adriano Panatta, scicchissimo in his casual outfits and ask him how he invented the "veronica" that is the backhand volley, which so many have tried to imitate without success, and then Gianni Boncompagni, always in suit, the man who invented the "Tuca Tuca" 40 years ago and even today is still played and danced . At this point it takes a girl, pretty, on the bocca di tutti con un argomento d’attualità, una che ha venduto ottocentomila copie del suo “cotto e mangiato” e chiederle qual è il segreto per vendere così tante copie di un libro di ricette facili quanto e più di un quattro salti in padella, per avere da Benedetta Parodi una risposta illuminante: “non lo so!”. Buona serata.
