@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra The event is now over and I am on the train back home. I couldn’t buy the book (volatile, freelance life) but I learned so many details about #Camilleri, as his longstanding friendship with actress #MonicaVitti - he wrote for her a lot, including an unpublished story (?).

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra The word of mouth was fundamental in #Camilleri’s success. The power of the chain of readers, before TV!

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra #Camilleri became blind but it he was used to listening to stories and radio so he managed this life relatively well despite it. He read circa 6 thousands books in his life (someone counted them) and mentioned many of them in his #Montalbano series

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra The book #UnaStoria about #Camilleri is by @salanieditore who is the publisher in Italy of the #HarryPotter’s saga and #PippiLongstocking. #LucaCrovi said it was perfect to tell this peculiar story - not focused on #Montabano

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra There is even the controversial politician #Andreotti in #Camilleri’s life, according to #LucaCrovi. He helped the young Camilleri after he was kicked out from the acting school in #Rome: he was found naked in his girlfriend’s bed - lost his scholarship and had to find a job..

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra #Camilleri started his career as a poet. Then theatre and radio kept him busy. He wrote novels but at first collected refusals by some publishers. So when he finally became famous as a writer he kept them waiting :)

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra #Camilleri survived a #mafia massacre in a cafe in his birthplace #PortoEmpedocle #Sicily. He was a witness but he did not liked to talk about it. He decided not to write about #mafia and not to elevate it to the role of crime hero. #LucaCrovi

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra #LucaCrovi talks about #Camilleri’s relationship with his answering machine: he used to listen to the audio messages and laugh a lot without answering. His house telephone number, anyway, was a secret!

@marco_gambino @salanieditore @iiclondra .@BBCWorld asked me to write this article when #Camilleri died in 2019. He was born on the 6th of September 1925 https://t.co/zhCU4VX1K9

.@marco_gambino will read the many anecdotes from the book by #LucaCrovi. #Camilleri wrote so much (beside #Montalbano!) and had such an intense life. #OrnellaTarantola will introduce them.
