Rooted like an olive tree, silhouetted like an olive tree, productive like an olive tree: there is no tree that can better represent my path and my state of mind as well as my state of mind. Without fear of having to cut the branches that have borne fruit, if for the good of the tree. Actor, author and human being, Coratino like one of the most important monocultivars in the world, actor and author with roots in the earth and branches towards the sky.
