Massimiliano Gallo on stage at the Diana Theater with “Malinconico”. Tickets and Dates

From April 9 to 27, 2025, the Teatro Diana in Naples hosts Massimiliano Gallo with "Malinconico – Moderatamente felice ," a show based on the novels by Diego De Silva and co-written by the author and the lead actor. This intimate and brilliant theatrical project restores voice and body to the character of Vincenzo Malinconico , the unconventional lawyer who first won over readers and then television audiences.

Who is Vincenzo Malinconico?

Malinconico is a self-described "unsuccessful" lawyer , but above all, he's a man torn between existential doubts and daily attempts to stay afloat. With his ironic and disillusioned tone, he becomes the perfect narrator to describe the emotional, social, and professional precariousness of those who live their lives balancing ambition and fragility.

On stage, Massimiliano Gallo plays Malinconico with a direct and confidential monologue , built on three fundamental axes: profession, feelings, and family . Through reflections and anecdotes, the character lightly dismantles the contradictions of modern life.

A stage for the inner story

The monologue transforms into an ongoing dialogue with the audience , filled with smiles and questions that touch on universal themes. Enriching the performance are five actors present in a video projection , representing friends, loves, and key figures in his ramshackle and irresistibly human world.

A show where literature and theatre meet , and where the audience rediscovers themselves through a character who entertains precisely because he is so imperfect, so true.
