Paolo Sorrentino. La dolce attesa

La dolce attesa (Sweet Waiting) is the project-installation by the filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino for the Salone 2025: a timeless space, an invisible bridge between present and future, in which desire is entwined with the fear of meeting destiny. A void to be filled or an opportunity to be welcomed. Because, as the Oscar-winning movie director says, “waiting is anguish. Sweet waiting is a journey that amazes and hypnotizes.” A middle ground where everything is still possible, where everything can – or could – be sweeter. For La dolce attesa, Paolo Sorrentino has chosen to rely on the contribution of Margherita Palli, a set designer with a career spanning forty years. The costumes, which are also by Margherita Palli, were created by the tailoring workshop of the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. The actors and actresses of the "Luca Ronconi" course at the Scuola del Piccolo Teatro di Milano also participate in the installation. Paolo Sorrentino has entrusted Max Casacci with creating a sound fabric that would mark its flow.
