NgoJulayi iTotò iyakhunjulwa: ubomi bakhe eCaweni
Emangcwabeni aseSanta Maria delle Lacrime, edityaniswe kwicawa ekufutshane enegama elifanayo, kwanikezelwa icwecwe elincinci lokuhlonipha u-Antonio Griffo Focas Flavio Angelo Ducas Comneno Porfirogenito Gagliardi de Curtis waseByzantium - Iintsapho ezihloniphekileyo zase-Italiya ziyakuthanda izihloko zazo kunye neefani zazo? - eyaziwa ngcono kakhulu njengo "Totò", impendulo yase-Italiya ku-Charlie Chaplin kwaye mhlawumbi ngomnye wabadlali abaphambili abahlekisayo.
Ukwamkelwa kusapho oluhloniphekileyo lwaseNeapolitan xa wayesengumfana, uTotò wathambeka waya kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga. Kumabali emiboniso bhanyabhanya asemgangathweni, uTotò ubekwa ecaleni kukaChaplin, uMarx Brothers kunye noBuster Keaton njengomboniso we "nkwenkwezi yemovie" yamashumi eminyaka okuqala kwishishini lokwenziwa kweefilimu. Uye wabhala isixa esifanelekileyo semibongo, kwaye kamva ebomini, wazimisela njengomdlali weqonga onendima ebaluleke ngakumbi.
Ukufa kukaTotò ngo-1967, kwaqhutywa imingcwabo emithathu eyayihlala abantu abaninzi ababefuna ukumka. Kwesithathu, nebibanjelwe e-Basilica yaseSanta Maria della Santità eNaples, ngabantu abangama-250.000 kuphela abazalise isikwere kunye nezitalato ezingaphandle.
Uveliswe ngumqingqi wase-Italiya u-Ignazio Colagrossi kwaye wabulawa nge-bronze, lo mfanekiso mtsha ubonisa umdlali weqonga ekhangela engcwabeni lakhe enxibe umnqwazi wakhe, kunye nemigca emininzi evela kwimibongo yakhe. Lo msitho wawukhokelwe ngumfundisi wasekhaya, owathi wanikezela ngentsikelelo yomfanekiso oqingqiweyo.
Abantu base-Italiya abakhulele kwiifilimu zikaTotò- babenama-97 ngexesha lomsebenzi wakhe omangalisayo, ngaphambi kokuba asweleke kwi-1967-banokumangaliswa kungabikho sikhumbuzo kude kube ngoku. Kubantu abangaphandle kwepeninsula, oku kunokubonakala njengokukhula komdla wasekhaya, uphawu kodwa uninzi alungeni.
Ewe kunjalo, njengesiqhelo e-Italiya, kukho okungakumbi kwimbali.
Nantsi into: U-Totò ungcwatyelwe kumangcwaba ama Katolike kwaye umzobo omtsha kwi-honour yakhe usikelelekile ngumfundisi ongumKatolika. Ngexesha lobomi bakhe, nangona kunjalo, uTotò wayenobudlelwane obungenakuphikiswa neCawa, kwaye wayehlala engabandakanywa kumagunya eecawa njengezonqulo esidlangalaleni.
Isizathu, njengoko kwenzeka rhoqo, yayiyimeko yakhe yomtshato.
Ngomnyaka we-1929, uTotò oselula wadibana nebhinqa eligama linguLiliana Castagnola, imvumi eyaziwayo eyayihlala nabantu baseYurophu belo xesha. Xa uTotò waqhawula ubudlelwane ngo-1930, uCastagnola wazibulala ngokuzilahla ngokufaka ityhubhu yonke yeepilisi zokulala. (Ngoku ungcwatywe kwi-crypt efanayo noToto.)
Mhlawumbi eqhutywa kukufa kwakhe, uTot his wakhawuleza waqalisa ubudlelwane nomnye umfazi, u-Diana Bandini Lucchesini Rogliani, ngo-1931, owayengu-16 ngelo xesha. Aba babini batshata ngo-1935, emva kokuzalwa kwentombi uTotò wagqiba ekubeni abize "uLiliana" emva kothando lwakhe lokuqala.
Ngo-1936, uTotò wafuna ukuphuma emtshatweni kwaye wenza isivumelwano sokurhoxisa umthetho eHungary, njengoko kwakunzima ukufumana e-Italiya ngelo xesha. Ngo-1939 inkundla yase-Italiya yawamkela umthetho woqhawulo-mtshato wase-Hungary, owawuphelisa ngokufanelekileyo umtshato wase-Itali.
Ngo-1952, uTotò wadibana nomdlali weqonga ogama linguFranca Faldini, owayeneminyaka emibini kuphela ubudala kunentombi yakhe nowayeza kuba liqabane lakhe bonke ubomi bakhe. Kuba iCawa yamaKatolika yayingazange yatyikitya umtshato wokuqala wokuqala, abo babini babedla ngokubizwa ngokuba "ngamashweshwe kawonke-wonke" kwaye babekwa njengemizekelo yokuwohloka kwemilinganiselo yokuziphatha. (Oku, ewe, kwakungaphambi kwexesha lama-Amoris Laetitia, xa kwakungekho ndlela yakudibanisa umntu kwimeko enjalo.)
Amarhe adumileyo athi uTotò noFaldini balungiselela "umtshato wobuxoki" eSwitzerland ngo-1954, nangona ngo-2016 waya engcwabeni lakhe ephika. UFaldini wanyanzelisa ukuba yena noTotò bangaziva nje ukuba kufuneka ikhontrakthi yokuqinisa ubudlelwane babo.
Imvakalelo yokugxothwa eCaweni kubonakala ukuba yayibuhlungu kuTotò, owayenokholo lwenene lwamaKatolika, ngokwengxelo yentombi yakhe. Iifilimu zakhe ezimbini zibonisa ukuba uncokola noSanta Anthony, kwaye uLiliana De Curtis ubanga ukuba uqhubeke neengxoxo ezifanayo no-Anthony kunye nabanye abaNgcwele ekhaya ngasese.
"Uthandazile ekhaya kuba bekungekho lula kuye ukuba aye ecaweni nosapho lwakhe ngendlela ebengathanda ngayo, ngenkumbulo nangokuzimisela," utshilo, ebhekisa kwinxalenye yesihlwele sabukho bakhe obuza kudala, kodwa kwinto yokuba uya kunqatshelwa umthendeleko ukuba ubonakalisile.
Ngokuka-De Curtis, uTotò wayesoloko ephethe ikopi yeVangeli kunye nerosari eyenziwe ngomthi naphi na apho aya khona, kwaye wayenomdla wokukhathalela abamelwane abasweleyo - phakathi kwezinye izinto, wayedla ngokuya kwikhaya leenkedama elikufuphi eze nezinto zokudlala kubantwana ngexesha iminyaka yakhe yamva. Emva kokusweleka kwakhe, umzimba wakhe wabekwa kunye neentyatyambo kunye nomfanekiso weNtanda yakhe ethandekayo u-Anthony wasePadua ezandleni zakhe.
UDe Curtis uthe ngexesha leNtlokoma yabazobi ngo-2000, wanikela ngeRosari kaTotò kuKhadinali Crescenzio Sepe waseNaples, owayebhiyozela ubunzima benkumbulo yomdlali kunye nosapho.
Ukushwankathela, sithetha ngenkwenkwezi ye pop egcinwe kude yiCawa ngexesha lokuphila kwayo, kodwa ngubani ochitha unaphakade ekwamkelweni kweCawe, ekhatshwa ngumfanekiso kwimbeko yakhe esikelelwe yiCawe.
Phakathi kwezinye izinto, sisikhumbuzo samandla okuphilisa exesha- elinokuthi, mhlawumbi, limeme umbono othile njengoko sicinga ngendlela esisoloko sishushu ngayo kwiingxabano ezikhoyo namhlanje.
