Written in 1979 by Peppino Patroni Griffi for Romolo Valli, Before Silence is a still alive text for themes and concept. The protagonist is an intellectual who lives a social discomfort linked mainly to the communication of the written word, of Poetry. His is a labor that takes on the features of a nightmare, with the appearance of the ghosts of his life: the family (the Wife) as a voracious and blackmailing entity; the caste (the Son) with his little-bourgeois trappings; the duty (the Waiter) that forces and castrates. The only events that calm the protagonist are the ones he lives, at the same time, with the Boy.
