Truman Capote

There is an interview that changed the history of journalism and literature. When in 1956 Truman Capote meets Marlon Brando on the set of Sayonara, The Duke in His Domain is born, a stunning portrait that transcends reporting and becomes great narrative.

From that memorable page begins a journey into the universe of one of the most brilliant, controversial, and modern writers of the twentieth century.

The protagonist of the third appointment of The Magic of the Classics is Truman Capote, narrated by Alessandro Piperno, one of the most authoritative interpreters of contemporary literature, curator of the Meridiani, and a deep connoisseur of the American tradition.

Through the famous interview with Brando and the works that established Capote, Piperno retraces the extraordinary talent of an author capable of reinventing reportage, transforming reality into art, and making writing an absolute challenge.

An encounter that intertwines literature, cinema, journalism, and biography to return the portrait of an irresistible, visionary, and restless genius, still surprisingly close to our time today.
