THEto a more interesting thing that I read in the fifty -year of Fantozzi And The interview with Liù Bosisio, who plays Mrs. Pina (then replaced by Milena Vukotic). Mrs. Pina says: «Fantozzi did not make me laugh. What was it to laugh? He is a dramatic figure ».
In fact, usually Fantozzi makes women’s men laugh more. Likewise, land entrails – Animelle, liver, kidneys, heart, brain … – men like more than women than women. I always thought there was a correlation between these two things.
We have already told us: Women tend less to abstraction; they tend to take everything seriously. Obviously there are millions of exceptions, otherwise we would not have a philosopher (although philosophers are almost all men, even in eras where women had already established themselves in other fields of public life, from literature to painting to science).

So The spectators tend to think that really Fantozzi is persecuted by a cloud That makes him rain on his head when he is on vacation, while the sun shines on the rich and powerful, and that Fantozzi really suffers, and again, again.
Just like many women, if they eat a piece of liver, first they think that it is the liver of an animal; And in fact it is so, but men don’t think about it, they care, abstract, and find what many women find disgusting.

Obviously I write this smiling: the issues of life are others; but This adherence to reality, this tendency to take things seriously becomes a great atout for women, a great weapon.
Ability to face and solve problems, instead of denying and postponing them. Pragmatism, rational approach to issues, talent in handling them, finding them solutions, looking not only at today but to the future.
These are the characteristics that make women particularly suitable for politicslike British and Germans have already understood at the time of Thatcher and Merkel. Now we Italians have a woman in government and one in the head of the opposition. Sooner or later the Americans will also realize.
