ALLEGRO NON TROPPO-The epic Cartoon .

When I was still a student in Milan Italy in 1976, wandering for hours in the city to discover the new world that had to be adapted, originally from GREECE, we had left yet affected by the seven-year dictatorship.Breathe my freedom to see, hear and say anything without any hesitation to be punished.The weekend with some good friends going to the movies, choosing movies that never arrived at home, because of censorship.Then someone in the group, we were encouraged to see a movie with animation.Immediately I imagined that we would see Walt Disney movie.But fooled.The title was ALLEGRO NON TROPPO. It was an ode to the cartoon, which until today is deeply imprinted in my mind, leaving a very sweet memories of my youth.In my opinion, I had seen the finest movie of my life, based on black and white pieces of the era of Charlie Chaplin ,married with dreamlike animation and the attendants UNIQUE
Ravel's Boléro,Sibelius,Stravinsky's The Firebird,Dvořák's Slavonic Dance No. 7,Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune .
I give you some pieces of the film on and you feel these feelings, with the expectation that we will see some time the whole movie.Enjoy.
