“Here, you see… This morning at school they caught me smoking a cigarette”. Proietti, whose first passion and enduring aptitude was undoubtedly for the arts. Born and raised in Rome, Proietti was also a proud and passionate Roma supporter. Born on the same day, November 2, in 1940, he was 80. Beloved Italian actor and director Gigi Proietti passed away on Monday morning. "I have to confess something, dad." He was leafing through the newspaper. Italy, and Rome, mourns death of Gigi Proietti. “The school rang, I know they discovered you while you were smoking. “One day Mom was standing at the door, dark in the face. Carlotta had told of an ironic and beloved father, capable of always smiling. It was strange because inside the house we were a really normal family, but when we went out we were surrounded by annoyances, from my point of view, who wanted an autograph ".
It bothered me, more than one I would have given a bite. “My first memories are all the same – Susanna revealed some time ago -: me, my mother and my sister sitting in the front row, and at the end of the show a queue of adoring people who wanted to shake his hand. The first became a costume designer and set designer, with a passion for the theater as the great performer, the second a singer-songwriter and actress. An existence marked by women that of Proietti, who was very close to his two daughters: Susanna and Carlotta. Gigi was often away from home, but then he always came back to her, his Sagitta, the most important woman in his life. "She is my rock", often said the actor who has never questioned his connection with Sagitta, his fixed point in a life spent traveling around Italy, amidst shows and new projects. Considered one of the greatest figures of the italian theater and television.
Very blond, beautiful and elegant, Sagitta has remained next to Gigi Proietti for over fifty years, always with a smile. Gigi Proietti was an italian actor, cabaretist, director, singer and teacher. Thus began a love story that would last until his death, with the birth of two beautiful daughters, Carlotta and Susanna, who decided to follow the path of cinema like their very famous father. It seemed like a summer passion that would end soon, but that year she decided not to return to Sweden and to stay with the Roman actor. They had met for the first time in 1962 when he was only 22 and was starting to take his first steps in the world of theater. She, a former Swedish tour guide, had managed to win the heart of the great performer and, in all these years, between falls and great successes, she has never left him alone. Last night the city projected an image of Proietti's face on the Colosseum and the Campidoglio, while many Romans took to their balconies to applaud one of the city's favourite sons.A great love, lived away from the spotlight and lasted until the end: it is the one between Gigi Proietti and Sagitta Alter. His funeral will be preceded by a ceremony at city hall before a procession in cars will visit some of places in Rome dearest to his heart, including the Brancaccio Theatre on Via Merulana and the Globe in Villa Borghese. There will be a maximum of 60 guests and the ceremony will be screened live on RAI 3 at 13.00. Proietti's funeral will take place at the Chiesa degli Artisti in Piazza del Popolo, without the public, to avoid any crowds due to the covid-19 protocols.
