Naples, October 2008.

I had already worked in some of the places that told Matteo Garrone, like Scampia during the war of Camorra between 2004 and 2005. But this time, everything was all fake and real.
The toxic, the real drug dealers are mixed with the extras.
Scampia, with its Vele, is a world that is not encountered nowhere else on earth. By the beauty of the palaces, to the very run-down of the places, it offers a scene that even the best movie director I believe could not invent.
People for some days has enjoyed a different daily routine.
The women of the neighborhood have been combed and rigged by Dalia and Daniela, when they were free from the shooting.
In the months of movie preparation, my office was the Fandango basis for choosing the cast.
For Marco and Ciro, non-professional actors, was an experience that has caught them completely, with some 'disappointment when, towards the end of the movie, Matteo, the director, confessed that they should be dead. In my office were sow out also the army of Chinese extras, before arriving at their home-factory.
Working in this movie was like to dive fully in the narrate events: the places really smell of dioxin and Camorra.
The entire set, from the extras to the actors, myself included, has made by the people of Gomorra, which seeks to make its way in life.
In a more or less clean way.
