The discovery of Sardinia, Sanremo and the drop: for Virginia Raffaele «Life (without compromise) goes like this»

With the usual irony, Virginia Raffaele talks about the experience on the set of «Così va la vita», the new film directed by Riccardo Milani (here is the interview with the director, ndr). The actress reveals that she has immersed herself in the Sardinian language and culture, going so far as to say that she dreams in dialect, but perhaps this is a joke. A surprise for herself, who says she is now the “official translator” of Efisio Mulas, the Sardinian shepherd protagonist of the film, played by Ignazio Giuseppe Loi.

At the center of the film is the theme of belonging: Efisio Mulas embodies those who remain faithful to their land, even at the cost of giving up great economic offers. Virginia Raffaele underlines how history speaks not only of Sardinia, but of every place of origin that risks abandoning or forgetting. For her, the risk of compromising, accepting. money is betraying oneself.

Friendship with Aldo Baglio it also continued off set when they reinterpreted the cult scene from «Three men and a leg» between improvised gags and a memorable synchronized swimming. «I grew up with Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo, for me they are a legend».

In her own way Virginia glosses over the possible management of Sanremo post Carlo Conti: «The Ariston is almost home, I’ve been there five times. «You go to Sanremo!».
