Camilla Costanzo’s letter
Towards the end of the function, Camilla Costanzo herself, writer and screenwriter, read a touching letter dedicated to the father and written together with the brothers Saverio and Gabriele. Here is the text:
Hello Daddy, the wave of love by which we have been submerged is due to the good that you have given to so many people over the years. You have no idea, or maybe you do, because you are looking at us from up there, of the gratitude with which we have been invested. You have had more than three children. For them you have been a father, teacher, guide. You changed destinies, intuited talents, encouraged and spurred.
We consoled people in tears, more astonished than us to know that you were gone. To us children you leave an important legacy and your greatest teaching, humility.
You had the soul of a 17-year-old boy who wrote to Montanelli, and you were surprised if a newspaper asked you for a collaboration. You never expected such a big show of affection. And already we seem to hear you saying ‘All this for me’. Now you are close to your parents, at the hands of Sordi and Gassman. And to all those who have gone before you, and that you have never stopped regretting. We imagine you in heaven organizing a talk show. You will continue to live in all of us and nothing we have learned from you will be lost, that’s a promise. We love you daddy.
