\u201cI tell stories (which contain stories (which contain other stories)). Sometimes on a stage. Sometimes on video. Sometimes inside a book.”
\nRoberto Mercadini (Cesena, 1978), narrator, author-actor, writer, poet and popularizer, performs throughout Italy with his monologues which range from the Hebrew Bible to the origins of philosophy, from evolutionism to happiness, from the great interpreters of literature on social issues (bullying, environment and ecology).
\nIn 2018, ‘Storia perfetta dell’errore’ was published by Rizzoli, his first novel. In 2019 the Teatro Stabile d’Abruzzo (with artistic direction by Simone Cristicchi) produces its theatrical show ‘Vita di Leonardo’ directed by Alessandro Maggi and texts by Mercadini himself.
\nIn 2020, ‘Bomba atomica’ was released, again by Rizzoli, elected as the Best Book of 2020 by the competition organized by Robinson (cultural insert of La Repubblica) with a jury made up of ‘strong’ readers from all over Italy. In 2022 the book ‘L’Ingegno e le tenebre: Leonardo e Michelangelo’ will be published. Two rival geniuses in the dark heart of the Renaissance, also published
\nby Rizzoli. Since January 2023 he has been a guest on the program “Splendida cornice” hosted by Geppi Cucciari broadcast on Rai 3 in prime time as a ‘communicator’.
\nActive online, he has a YouTube channel followed by over 170,000 followers.<\/p>\n
