Mario Incudine recites Totò's 'A livella' for Artribune's theater series
Mario Incudine performs Antonio de Curtis's 1964 poem 'A livella' in a video for Artribune's Pillole di Teatro series.

The video is part of Artribune's digital micro-productions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely impacted live theater.
