From the character to the individual, from laugher to reflection. This is the new Panariello. He is no longer the Tuscan performer who we have known for so many years who is capable of entertaining us for hours and hours during his show.
Now he is also engaged in the struggle for the defense of animals. This is certainly not because his activities would make us talk more about him. Giorgio does not need this kind of attention.
He is busy with his show “Del mio meglio live” which is part of the summer competition that began on the 14th of July last year in the Verona Arena, and included performances in Modena, Taormina, Palermo, Lecce, Cagliari, and Florence on the 4th and 5th of September.
A cocktail that combines theatre, culture and solidarity in which there are alternating monologues between his most successful characters and moments of bitter reflection when there is talk of abandoned or badly treated animals.
Panariello started his noble project as an ambassador of the association “La squadra per gli Animali” that brings together Enpa, LAV, and the Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane e Animalisti Italiani, the biggest national associations of animalists who have joined together to defend animals in difficulty.
The project has taken off thanks to the important contribution received In June on the occasion of the 39th edition of the Baroque Prize awarded by LucianoVinella, a well known entrepreneur from Puglia.
Its success also follows donations made during the summer championship and profits from Panariello’s book.Panariello’s “Non ti lascerò mai solo”, edited by Mondadori, is in bookstores from the 4th of October - which is also the festival of San Francesco, the patron ofanimals. Francesco is also the protagonist of a story about the relationship between a man and a dog.
Panariello, like the protagonist of this novel, has had his lifechanged for the better by his two dogs, Crusca and Zeus.
