I am actually pretty happy that the political view of an artist didn't make him disappear, as it would happen today. This is one of the greatest things we should be proud of, to be honest, in the West. The witch hunt should be over. However, nowadays an artist can literally disappear for the ideas posted online, which is insane in my opinion.

I read a lot of Pirandello's books (which I highly recommend) and I never cared about his political view. And also throughout the books, I can't remember any subliminal message to make his readers fascists or so. At least I didn't become one, I guess.

It'd be great if we could just learn art without prejudice or too much pre-context.
