Life

Bonaiuto, daughter of a Neapolitan who emigrated to Friuli , graduated from the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in 1972 and soon developed into one of the most precise and respected theater actresses in her home country; she worked with directors such as Luca Ronconi , Mario Missiroli , Carlo Cecchi and above all Mario Martone , with whom she is also privately related. He wrote the piece Terremoto con madre a figlia for her .

In film, Bonaiuto began in a handful of small roles from 1973, although she only accepted one offer between 1975 and 1983: the role of the lying housekeeper by Claude Jade in Eriprando Visconti's Una spirale di nebbia ; She first achieved greater attention on the screen in 1989 in Pupi Avatis Storia di ragazzi e di ragazze . Three years later, Avati gave her the lead role in Fratelli e sorelle , the "Gloria", abandoned by her husband, whose escape with both sons from the depression to her sister in the states of Bonaiuto, Bonaiuto with psychological depth and remarkable complexity.

Io sono qui . Further awards ( David di Donatello and Silver Ribbon ) followed in 1995 for L'amore molesto by Martone, in which she portrayed a comic artist who, on the occasion of the death of her mother and her unbroken zest for life, has to recognize the encrustations of her own soul. Bonaiuto was also seen in two roles in the much-discussed episode film about Naples, I vesuviani , including that of a leader of aggressive women motorcyclists. With another Martone role, the cocaine-addicted actress “Sara Cataldi” in Teatro di guerra , she cemented an impressive decade of acting, with Maddalena fighting her social isolation in Tonino De Bernardi's Appassionate and a psychologist in Fulvio Wetzl's Prima la musica , poi le parole ended.

Bonaiuto's television engagements are rare; for the screen, Josua's mother in La passione di Giosuè 2005 for Pasquale Scimeca and a minister in the controversial Il caimano by Nanni Morettis were other notable roles. After many serious performances (such as Giulio Andreotti's wife in Il Divo ), she shot several comedies from 2010.

Bonaiuto is an icon of the Neapolitan drama school, which has defended its place as an exceptional talent with discretion and elegance for many years.
