Dario Fo e Franca Rame they will have their own museum. Finally, all the conditions are in place for Italy to give a worthy home for an art heritage of inestimable historical and cultural value.

Nobel Prize for literature

It was October 9, 1997 when Dario Fo receives in Stockholm the Nobel Prize for literature. To reward him is the king Gustavo of Sweden.

"The Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Dario Fo because, together with Franca Rame, actress and writer, in the tradition of medieval jesters, he mocked power and restored dignity to the oppressed." The Academy of Sweden

"Throughout Italy Fo is known as an actor, little as an "author". Instead his lyrics are known and represented all over the world. It is a well-deserved award." Umberto Eco

"Like Molière, Fo used laughter as a weapon against bigots." Le Monde

"The Fo-Rame Museum will take place. The commitment I had made with Dario Fo will be respected". The Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini responds clearly and unequivocally to the tough stance of Jacopo Fo, son of the two great artists, who directly attacked the minister on the columns of the Republic stating that: "He took my father and my mother for a ride, the museum dedicated to them never took off". Personalities from the world of entertainment and culture have lent their faces and their voices to launch an appeal in favor of the real start of the project. All, of course, in accordance with the Fo – Rame Foundation.

Minister Franceschini's words on the Fo-Rame Museum project

"The current one is a building of the State Archives and not a museum, and we knew from the beginning that it was a temporary location and that it could not be managed with the times and methods of a museum.. The Museum will be built, I repeat it is a promise that I will keep, whatever the cost. The resources are there, they are allocated there. I have just heard Jacopo Fo on the phone, and already some time ago the headquarters of the Dogana Vecchia, also in Verona, had been proposed to the Foundation. He replied that that place is fine for him. "

Italy forgets

Italy is an extraordinary country, but often, too often, forgetful. We are a country full of personality unique, which often, too often, are celebrated and remembered more outi from our borders and within. Remembering the work of Dario Fo and Franca Rame is not just something due, it's a the obligation moral towards two artists that the whole world knows and envies us. Their legacy is an immense cultural heritage, but even greater is the emotional legacy that those works never stop transmitting to us.

An infinity of material made up of texts, show posters, costumes, sets. An enormous amount of material that needs a huge place that can contain it. And to ensure that this cultural heritage can truly be enjoyed by all. There are many who are waiting to be able to consult pages of original writings that have passed directly into the history of world literature. Observe the posters of boasted shows, admire the splendid and original costumes and the impressive sets.

There are many who want to breathe that air, touch an important part of our recent history with their hands. To be able to read it without filters, without any censorship that puts the gag on genius and creativity. The complete work by Dario Fo and Franca Rame will allow us to rediscover, or discover for the youngest, two enormous talents of the stage, two enormous artists who have described and told decades of Italian history with an impressive lucidity and foresight.

The words of the Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini, bode well. Surely there will be voices out of the chorus, characters who will not look favorably on such a project and perhaps will propose choices cultural definitely more cerebral. To them and to their eventual, bizarre proposals we give the words of another Italic genius, Dante Alighieri

Let's not talk about thembut look and pass (Inf. III, 51)
