Il terrorista

Gianfranco De Bosio

(Verona, Italy, 1924) revealed a passion for theater right from the beginning, when he organized his first performances as a high school student. He participated in the Resistance and received his Arts degree with honors in 1946. He founded the Theater of the University of Padua, and from 1957 until 1968 he was the director of Torino’s Teatro Stabile. He later was in charge of the Arena of Verona for two years, and in 1992 held that position once again. He is one of the great maestros and directors of post-war Italian theater (fundamentally, he rediscovered Ruzante and gave him back his rightful place onstage, without forgetting authors like Shakespeare, Molière, Goldoni, Pirandello and Brecht, or directing operas from Mozart to Verdi, by way of Wagner and Strauss). He has experimented with the most diverse expressive means, spent decades directing theater and opera, and he has also worked in film and television.
