Also, when Luca won his prize at Venezia76, he dedicated his victory to the people risking their lives in the Mediterranean to save others. It's not a perfect translation, but he said:
I want to dedicate this award to all the wonderful people at sea, saving the life of other people that are escaping from the unthinkable. Thank you, you are preventing us from looking bad in front of ourself and others.
Thank you, viva l'umanità e viva l'amore
(long live humanity and love)
And maybe this doesn't sound groundbreaking to you, but here in italy it's not so common that an actor speaks about a political topic during his speech, especially since cinema is mostly owned by the right wing
This speech is so powerful it shakes me each time, Luca is a wonderful actor and a wonderful person.
Viva l'umanità e viva l'amore
