TOngelo or demon in love? “Angelo, of course.” Denise Tantucci, 28 years old, has no doubts. I ask him why: 1) the actress has always declared that he does not love romantic comedies; 2) He has been writing poems since he was a child (but never to the partner); 3) She graduated in Physics and rather than discussing love, she prefers to discuss philosophy, even by enlarged everyone. Tantucci is now the protagonist of Leopardi & Co, in the room from 17 July, with Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, my mom! Here we come back), Paolo Calabresi and Whoopi Goldbergto his first film shot in Italy. The film, in competition at Taormina Film Fest (which closes today), It is a more romantic comedy you can’t, but from the Happy End not necessarily guaranteed.
Denise Tantucci protagonist of Leopardi & Co
Already in A doctor in the family 9, Rossi bracelets 2, three floors by Nanni Moretti, Hotspot-love without network by Giulio Manfredonia, in the new film Denise Tantucci is Silvia, an “acting coach”, a teacher, who must instruct an arrogant American actor for Giacomo in Love, A production on Leopardi that he even exchanges for Casanova.
«It is a film in the film in which I am pulled in the middle because I am the local expert of the poet’s life. My character must explain what Leopardi was and what he still represents today. I confess that it is a role that I found to live very often in life when it was to defend my literary and scientific ideals “explains the actress.
“I love Nietche and physics”
Literary ideals, in what sense, excuse?
For example, I love Nietzsche, a philosopher who is very often associated with Wagner, Nazism, and everything is negative in the philosophy he represents. In reality there is a world behind, philology, words, there would be many things to say. Then from Physics I often discussed with passion of the greatest systems and I caught myself with the “not very nice”. But after all, I’m a little teacher.
In short, a “nerd”?
Absolutely yes. I gave repetitions of mathematics and philosophy. I always liked to study. It’s a side of my character, I can’t do anything about it, I’ve always been like this, a little nerd.

Denise Tantucci, is you also perfect on the set?
I like to get prepared on my part, but I love to collaborate with everyone, if there is no sharing you don’t get to the end of the day, right? I also did as an interpreter with Jeremy. Not everyone spoke English, so I got busy. A very special alchemy has been created between the two of us.
Are you saying that he “in love” of Irvine?
Not in reality, at least. In the film, at first glance, we do not endure, but the sweet words of the high poet bring us closer to us between different “cultural” quarrels.
“Whoopi Goldberg is exactly as it appears”
How was it working with the unforgettable protagonist of the various Sister Acts?
Sholy, nice, curious, empathetic. Whoopi Goldberg is exactly how it appears in The View, The TV program that has been leading for years to New York on ABC. He wanted to deepen Leopardi. We give it to “obvious”, but abroad Italian poetry is often unknown.
Why doesn’t he love romantic comedies?
I thought I didn’t have the comic verve. But I changed my mind: the romantic comedies are honest. And, in fact, they can also inspire “true” life.
Denise Tantucci: “With poetry I can express myself”
Before becoming an actress, she made her debut in 2013 with a book of poems …
Yes, Fantastiche & Conjectures. It is a journey into interpersonal relationships through the images of the unconscious. With the poetic form I can express well what happens to me.
The last one he wrote?
Days ago, on the sense of emptiness, on the fear that everything built could collapse at any moment.
“I’m living a nice love story”

How come this anguish?
Because I’m living a very beautiful love. The fears often intrude with feelings and, sometimes, we fear that it is enough to bring everything down. If you are strong, however, the castle will never give in.
Do you dedicate poems to your partner too?
It is not a good sign to write kissed rhymes. The last boyfriend to have done it was not appreciated and was removed. Are you sure it is an angel and not a demon in love? Very certain.
Denise Tantucci: “I am also an actress on the identity card”
Would “actress”, “physics” or “poet” write on the identity card?
I just renewed it and I wrote “actress”. It is now definitive.
Next film programs?
I just finished turning The flying red With Giorgio Pasotti on Eugenio Monti, a two -way bob pilot (he was one of the greatest Italian champions, Gianni Brera nicknamed him “Red Red”, ed.).
“I love eShkol Nevo”
He starred in three floors with Nanni Moretti, is it true that he “siege” the writer Eshkol Nevo in Cannes?
It was one of the most beautiful encounters of my life. Meaning I read his book I cried and my sister took me back. So I also showed him the video.
And what does Moretti tell us about?
We were in the car with other people. We were listening to Mahmood’s money, when Nanni asked me to choose another song. So I opted for Alone Again of O’Sullivan, a very nice 70s song. He turned around and said “how vintage you are”. Is it? Hand…
