by fans: the encounter with the myth, Terence Hill Fan Club meets Francesca Padula, mother, biologist and fans of Don Matteo, we report account of his meeting with Terence Hill on the set of Don Matteo 7 to Gubbio!
Hello!
I have just returned from a holiday in Umbria (the first after 4 years ...) and this occasion I also went to Gubbio on the set of "Don Matteo 7" to meet my usual myth: TERENCE HILL!
The journey was very bad: with all the curves that are on the road, you can never, and Matthew got sick twice (although I had organized just in case I could not " save "neither the car nor the clothes, so I had just arrived in Gubbio buy back dresses and linen).
On arrival, already late in the morning, I could not find their way into the piece of map I had, however, we managed to arrive in Piazza San Giovanni, home of "his" parish, but I wanted to find her a nice picture for me sign.
am confident I can find a photographer on the road that led me to the square based set that morning ... and in fact I found it, but he had only one, not that I wanted (and you seemed ...), but of course I got it.
Once on set, we were informed and told us that he would arrive at the scene Next, in terms of time went on to say 45 minutes later ...
Yes, because a scene is filmed a myriad of times, in all perspectives, in silent and sound, in short, it takes a lot of time ...
The children were very good, when the crew shouted "Silence!", They merely look good good.
At a certain point, I see him coming, on the other side of the square, not to recognize it as ... with his cap: unmistakable!
We approached him and looked at us and smile, and even if he should begin to turn they just made us a road in the interiors of the square, very kind and helpful and told us about the autographed pictures (tralaltro I must say that I've never seen anyone write so calmly and carefully as he did, seemed to be painting: EXTRAORDINARY exudes a serenity, in person even more than the video). From the square have also called several times, but he (with a peculiar tone of voice, which has lifted the "volume" without shouting, polite, but quite resolved), said: "For three minutes are occupied ".
Children looked at him without a word in edgewise, perhaps we really believed when I said I would have taken them to know ...
Well, it was so cute that we just spent those minutes before shooting, but later we did get where he was to stay in the interludes between takes and the other, and so became a photo with children.
In short, it was fabulous!
He also explained how to get to Piazza Grande, where I had to leave a little thought for its "Perpetua," which unfortunately did not run that day and I have not been able to know (I would so like to exchange a few words) ; look at that view can be admired from the square:
On the way back (Matthew, exhausted, was in the stroller and we were in strategic delay for lunch) I saw him again and I realized that I had not seen even shoot a scene, so I took the camera to capture in the middle of the stage machinery, but HO PATCH!
In the sense that he was calling and he turned around: I wanted to DISAPPEAR ... mortificatissima I felt I was invading his private space: PUBLIC BEGIN TO DO FINE IN THIS POST!
I waited for him to finish and I had two shots on the fly.
got into the car, I also realized that I had not even bought a postcard (and photographer where I was stopped there were many: I would not live around so fast and so very excited ... are its antithesis!), in short, had gone as had been (perhaps, indeed, almost certainly, if we had gone in the morning, going around in Piazza San Giovanni, I also met Guetta and I turned and saw their scenes, seeing them now, not after waiting for that morning).
Okay with hindsight ...
But the important thing is that I saw and knew me well and my husband took this picture:
usual I am pessimistic, but he is fantastic, as always!
PS: It has two blue eyes that seem so bright and clear mountain lakes: unique and spectacular!
