LEONORA ADDIO narrates the stunning adventures of Pirandello’s ashes and the tortuous journey of his urn from Rome to Agrigento, leading up to his eventful burial that took place only fifteen years after his actual death. And beyond that, to Pirandello’s last story, written twenty days before his death, “The Nail”, in which the young Bastianeddu, torn from his mother’s arms in Sicily and forced to follow his father across the ocean, is incapable of healing the wound that drives him to an irrational gesture.
