In fact after the show "Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching towards the Somme", is staged Saturday 17 at 20,45 and Sunday 18 January at 16,45 "Giuliano Guazzetti who lost the war", written by Alberto Severi, journalist Tg Rai Tuscany and contributor to national newspapers, and interpreted by Rosario Campisi.

Alberto Severi rewrites in the form of monologue, Rosario Campisi, the "small war" that in 1999 won the award Funds-la Pastora and was later staged, in 2004, by Ugo Chiti and the company Ark Azur.

The story takes place on the Asiago Plateau in 1916. A soldier, a volunteer student at the University of Pisa tells a night of horrors, visions, meetings and mysteries, just ended, a silent Captain, listening, judges, perhaps punishes. Reports of the discovery of the corpse of a boy hanged; unpredictable dawn out of the darkness of the house of a strange girl who claims to be a circus contortionist, and that she had been raped by a soldier Hungarian.

"A tragicomedy - Chiti wrote in the preface to the text, published by Jaca Book - where characters, Andrea, Giuliano e Aspasia, are tangible presences, shady and passionate like all creatures true theatrical ". "Tangibility and passion" that are preserved, and maybe you specify, now, Ten years later, taking as the exclusive point of view of the character more ambiguous and complex: that Giuliano Guazzetti "who lost the war" as, in spite of the best intentions, we risk losing them, all.
