I couldn’t tell you if Davigo was really Davigo or a form of artificial intelligence wearing Davigo’s face, but certainly not even Torquemada at the table with Brutus and Robespierre would have let slip what the former Mani Pulite magistrate declared to Fedez’s microphones in response to the question: “Did you feel a little saddened by the suicide of a great entrepreneur like Gardini?” ‘Of course I’m sorry,’ Davigo conceded in a burst of magnanimity, before hastening to add: ‘First of all, the fact that someone decides to commit suicide means that you lose him as a possible source of information.’ A reflection that emanates the same warmth as a mint popsicle eaten in an igloo and which might even sound surprisingly allusive: in those years it was precisely Mani Pulite’s detractors who claimed that, with Gardini’s suicide, a witness had been lost in able to indicate the former communists among the beneficiaries of the famous Enimont bribe.
However, the gratuitous cynicism of those words drowns out any other considerations and leads one to wonder: will he really think them, or did they design him that way? Let’s be clear, I don’t doubt that Davigo is the only reader of “Les Misérables” to root for Inspector Javert instead of Jean Valjean, but I have the impression that he also fell a bit into the character of the tough whipping boy and pure. And that, as sometimes happens to overly acclaimed actors, he is no longer able to get out of the role.
