L’amore non lo vede nessuno

Silvia is searching for answers about the sudden death of her sister, Federica. Every Tuesday afternoon, in an unremarkable provincial café, she secretly meets a mysterious and intriguing stranger. They have made a pact: he has promised to reveal every detail of his relationship with Federica, who died just days ago in a suspicious car accident. In return, Silvia has agreed not to investigate his true identity.

But how far can we trust a stranger? And how much of ourselves are we willing to reveal—our deepest secrets, our most vulnerable emotions?

Set between two parallel spaces—Silvia’s modest middle-class home and a dimly lit suburban bar—L’amore non lo vede nessuno unfolds as an intense psychological thriller. Massimo Venturiello, Stefania Rocca, and Franca Penone bring to life a story of rising tension and unexpected twists. As her friend Eugenia warns her to be cautious, Silvia becomes increasingly entangled in her sister’s hidden world—one of passionate love and dangerous power plays.

Based on the novel of the same name by Giovanni Grasso—political journalist, essayist, documentary filmmaker, and advisor to the President of the Republic for press and communications—the play, directed by Piero Maccarinelli, is more than a mystery. It is a profound exploration of existence, a confrontation with our darkest shadows, and a journey toward forgiveness—both of others and of ourselves.
