"[...] the Gomorra series warns us against evil, pushes us against a wall, gives us no excuses (after all, there is the good cop, the anti-Mafia prosecutor, the anti-Mafia priests, etc.), and forces us to look inside ourselves. Saviano (and the authors who wrote the screenplay with him) understood that only by starting from absolute evil, from the absence of good, can the authentic motive for renewal arise. He invites us to look with eyes free from preconceptions and false hypocrisy, namely that the reality of the south, of Naples, of Secondigliano, of Scampia... is also that represented by Gomorra. Urban decay does not originate from the series, it pre-exists. We have been accustomed to seeing the hairstyles of Genny and the other young characters for years, not only in the neighborhoods and districts of Scampia, but also in the North, in America, as well as the actors' clothing: Gomorra reproduces reality, far from any risk of emulation. Depicting evil does not mean smearing the south. On the contrary, the spirit of the series is precisely that, I repeat, to depict evil in all its facets in order to achieve renewal. [...]That's why I'm on the side of Gomorra, which investigates evil in order to overcome it. I am grateful to Saviano for trying, and I am grateful to Stefano Sollima (and the other directors) and the actors who have taken on an immense responsibility and done so with awareness and talent. All of them have shown courage that cannot be taken for granted: they have brought evil to the stage and left it up to us to decide where good lies."
