On the 40th anniversary of the death of the poet Biagio Marin, the Grado Teatro Association intends to pay homage to its most illustrious fellow citizen by staging one of his most touching and delicate short stories.

Il Procuratore del Re (The King's Procurator) is a short novella in which, almost following the highest classical theatrical models, the motivations of the heart are pitted against those of reason. Experiencing this clash will be a man of law, accustomed in his work to administering justice with severity and rigour, who, having returned to his native island for health reasons, will slowly come to understand how human existence cannot focus exclusively on complete dedication to work, however noble and important it may be.
It will be precisely the amused and provocative attitude of the people he will find once he arrives at the old family home that will instil in him, in a cheerful and playful way, the doubt that it is not always duties that are the priority in order to feel happy and fulfilled.
Returning to the country of origin and to simple domestic affections will make him reflect deeply on the meaning of his life and on his urgent need to cultivate the feeling of love. For as Blaise Pascal said, ‘The heart knows reasons that reason does not know’.
