They often skipped lunch because of her getting up so late and before 2 p.m. she would not go on. She kept saying that before that time it was not possible to operate: "Ah Robè, and don't you know that until a certain hour I have wrinkles? And that you want art in the morning?" And so they would finish filming late and go up to the village to have dinner at the Trattoria Bacchus.
Anna loved pasta very much, and the homemade pasta made by Nonna Letizia drove her crazy.
He could not give up a nice first course, but what about the line? And so, after ordering it, he would repent and run after the waiter, Grandpa Andrew, recommending: "To me, half a portion."
This phrase had become so habitual that Roberto used it to "rub it in" whenever something was wrong: "Nannare, half portion!"
When the two lovers took their friend Federico Fellini with them. there was no escaping a well-known physique of his: starting dinner with a few slivers - he liked to call them "splinter" of Parmigiano cheese or, failing that, Provolone del Monaco, which arrived at the table even before the cutlery and napkins. A real ritual that the great director from Rimini, who came to play the part of the fake St. Joseph who seduces Mariuccia, could not give up.
Speaking of seduction, it should be remembered that the stuffed flask, containing the "convict" red wine of Furore, repeatedly offered to the mentecatta until she became drunk and possessed, had been taken from the Trattoria table and brought to the stage. It is preserved as a relic in the galley of Bacchus Restaurant.
These and other stories will be recalled at the Wednesday, May 15 next dedicated to Nannarella at the restaurant Bacchus of Furore, with a particularly interesting tasting menu.
