| Tonight I met Mauro Corona, a type rough and grumpy, but good and funny!
was there at that Pordenone, regional auditorium.
arrive early, walk towards the entrance of the auditorium!
There were a few people thought there was already an incredible crowd, then I am about to enter. Now on the left a banquet with piles and piles of his latest book "In the wood and stone ", and on the right a tiny room with a hundred places and some people already seated waiting for the Elf in the woods of Erto!
Well do ..." while - I think - I buy the book! "
" I'm 15 € "I said to the boy. So I pay and go and sit.
I look a bit 'around and I see that in the middle of the room, the seats are in front of a large space and think," there he is the right place for me .. . pfiiuuu still free ... so stretch out my legs and sit back! "
I brought with me a beautiful watercolor portrait of Mauro made a sticker, the car  photo a booklet to take any notes and the carrier with the markers and 5 € (the rest of the 20 that I gave to buy the book).
After a few minutes the room begins to fill with people of various ages from 15 to 70 years ... ... and, it will seem incredible, all unknown faces (in Pordenone that I know all that pretentious ... I am!).
I look around and see that in the first row, my column on the same chair, there's a seat.
two seconds to think about it, but it's stronger than me ... I'll jump to buy up the last place left. They get my things and run.
As I sit hear a hoarse voice and shy, but high tone coming from the back of the hall: "Good evening" ... Mauro Corona had arrived!
What! Backpacker as if it had just fallen from a mountain climbing trip, cigar stub in mouth, black bandana white dots, black tank top and very thick beard!
He sits down and greets the public debut with these words: "Tonight I will read you something from my book ... but no go the OCIA (translation:" I have no glasses ") -" Who pays the OCIA me? "( "who lends me his glasses?"). bursts out laughing and you give the glasses from a woman in the audience!
started to read some chapter of the book focusing on some of the dramas of life he has lived and lives in the first person to alcoholism, the gossip of the people, poaching, etc..
Reflects saying: "Boys, the drug is a great evil and it is difficult to solve, but alcoholism is a disease in disguise and is already solved ... this is evil! Young people today are drinking and often do not realize which is the beginning of a decline in physical and moral. "
He pauses a moment and says, "I will then give a bad example ... in fact a lady in Trieste one day he stops and tells me -" Corona stop drinking and smoking, then all drinking and smoking "- I replied:" go to hell in a hen mother-in-law, think of your business !"... but then I look and in fact I have to be careful about what I do, I became famous and now unfortunately it is not as before ... someone I can take as an example. " After a pause, however, Crown adds: "But I worked, my lady ... in a quarry ... so if I have to imitate all that they do not?". The audience laughs. Throughout the evening
Mauro Corona did breathe the public a strong sense of reality, both the stories of his latest book he has read and criticized (Funny that, it corrects errors!), And a sense of great humility to those who listened to him!
In the meeting we had the opportunity to discuss family problems, alcohol, to raids childhood, lies, sometimes funny sometimes uncomfortable for people Erto, mountaineering and his sufferings when he was just a sculptor underestimated by people with a family of a wife and three children.
But at some point the Crown says, "though I know that here is someone I would gladly do it if you like ... an asshole, but in front of me, not after the bar when no one hears you. That is best to wash your dirty linen at home has ruined the world, it is better to open up now, I know that someone thinks "
Suddenly a guy stands up and says," I tell you, but not I can put up to you, because you are a man of letters "... falls in the cold room!
Mauro Corona then breathing a sigh and begins to tell him everything ... but not because it gave him an asshole, but because he has defined a writer!
Indeed he was right Crown, is not that why one writes books have to be a writer!
However Crown defends himself by saying: "I read a lot, and I write with passion. "The discussion continues with lively" tone, creating embarrassment and a sense of grotesque killer.
After this performance, the debate has continued for a few more minutes, bringing out the true spirit of Mauro Corona ... a man who needs of provocation, a man who wants to learn these comparisons, a real person who loves nature and loves to be true from A to Z without contradiction of any kind and no hard feelings toward others.
The time now is 22:30 and the meeting ends with a greeting made, alas, the poor man's autograph Corona lends itself to writing.
I took some pictures and content I have received compliments for his portrait that I gave him for an autograph and I did, I leave and I head to the car.
But while I'm about to leave, I hear the voice from a distance of Mauro Corona says, "my boys this is the last time ... and I'm happy to finish these matches my own in Pordenone ... I'm going to do these tricks in public! " And the audience responds: "I come to seek peace." Corona with a little smile of emotion, but the devil sends all affectionately.
After a bit 'put in motion and head for home. I walk the main street that leads up to my country (Pork), when who do I see a cross ... Mauro Corona, alone, stopped at traffic lights ... My temptation is great to ask him if he wanted a ride, but when I come back he's gone.
shame I think, but it is better that way, I do not imagine I would be in an Opel Agila!
I like to imagine him as an elf, the elf of the woods Erto "... a free and fair man, who climbs mountains in clean style that carves the wood along the vein and the Moon, who writes books and stories of real people and so rare! "
