Dynamic Roberto Benigni Hits Bari and Enchantingly Makes Life More Beautiful

About his meetings in Hollywood with Francis Ford Coppola, Robin Williams and Liz Taylor, Roberto Benigni reveals: "Coppola spoke only in Neapolitan, actually, he spoke through Neapolitan songs. It was on that occasion that he told me that he was working on a movie about Pinocchio and that he wanted me in the role of Geppetto…... Robin Williams called me to tell me that Liz Taylor wanted to meet me for dinner at their home, because she and her companion Rod Steiger really loved ‘Life is Beautiful’ a lot. Nicoletta and I flew there with a private plane that Robin had offered us…. And when we were at Liz Taylor’s home, at a certain point Steiger took my arm and asked me if I could help Liz find work. Can you believe this?”.

Il “ciclone” Roberto Benigni si abbatte su Bari e d’incanto fa la vita più bella

Sugli incontri ad Hollywood con Francis Ford Coppola, Robin Williams e Liz Taylor, Roberto Benigni rivela: "Coppola parlava solo in napoletano, anzi parlava attraverso le canzoni napoletane. Fu in quell’occasione che mi disse che stava preparando un film su Pinocchio e che mi avrebbe voluto nel ruolo di Geppetto... Robin Williams mi telefonò per dirmi che Liz Taylor voleva assolutamente incontrarmi a cena da loro perché lei e suo 'marito' Rod Steiger avevano amato molto ‘La vita è bella’... e quando siamo da Liz Taylor ad un certo punto Steiger mi prende sotto braccio e mi dice se posso far lavorare sua moglie. Ma vi rendete conto?”
