Cosimo Fusco is so much more than the man who played Paolo in Friends. He is also in 30 Coins, Berberian Sound Studio, Mano de Hierro, Dario Argento's The Card Player, the slasher Veneciafrenia and many more.

[@madaboutsicily]

I agree, Morgan. I tried to communicate to the widest audience (I could think of) of the people from Matera, that they may have heard of :-)

[@MorganScorpion]

@@madaboutsicily As a fan of Mr Fusco, I am grateful that you thought to mention him.

You seem to have fogotten mentioning that in 1956 when Matera was the shame of Italy because it was impoverished, Ex-Prime Minister A. De. Gasperi visited Matera and changed Matera forever. This we learned quite recently by a (an angle) resident in Matera, with the name Sig. MicheleangeloTrotta Bruno. He must have spent about two hours with us explaining that he a is the son of a wealthy father (now deceased), a noble man, who used to have people work for him. Unfortumately Sig. Micheangelo Trotta Bruna keeps blaming the old conditions (famine and living conditions) in part to the noble people, including hs immediate family. It would also seem that only one noble family's coat of arms (stemma) exists which still can be seen, outside the entrance to a palazzo. Finally, Matera was "conditoned" by a feudal system.
