The story of Luigi Pignataro di Trani who turned to ‘C’e Posta per te’ with the hope, fifty years later, of finding his Apulian ex-girlfriend Maria La Manna made us smile, but also moved.
The two fall in love, get engaged, stay together for four years and then he leaves for the military. His mom calls him and tells him that his girlfriend often goes dancing and goes out with others. Luigi and Maria quarrel and he leaves her: it was 1964.
Six in all those intercepted in Puglia by the postman Gianfranco. The first to enter was ‘Mariella’, a lady from Monteleone di Puglia but resident in Anzano, also in the province of Foggia. He does not recognize her: “She was very wrong”, she has some doubts: “It seems to me a familiar face, he is old but I haven’t seen him for a long time“.
It is a succession of dialect phrases, laughter and anecdotes. “But it hallucinates a little that Ie and ‘n many feel bone “. Maria De Filippi is amused by the presence of the nice woman from Foggia, but she is not the Maria La Manna that Luigi was looking for.
Enter another Maria, from Canosa: “I’m sorry but I don’t remember you. I only had one girlfriend and one husband “. Enter a third Maria La Manna: “Who’s this? I’ve never been engaged to someone named Luigi “. Two more women enter but nothing to do. The sixth is the right one, but she is married, has three children and eight grandchildren.
