Rocco Siffredi, an Italian pornographic actor, director, and producer, has launched a new one-man show titled “Rocco Tells Rocco.” The show, which began its tour in Italy in July, features Siffredi sharing stories about his life and career in an hour-and-a-half monologue.

Show Details and Development

Siffredi revealed that he went through more than 20 drafts of his monologue for “Rocco Tells Rocco.” He stated that he wrote the monologue throughout the summer, focusing on his work in porn and the "up and down life." Siffredi described the content as "fun and light," noting that "many people laugh." The show covers the differences between porn in the 1980s, 1990s, and today.

The presentation includes pictures and video. During the final 10 minutes of the show, Siffredi's wife of thirty years, Rosa, joins him on stage. Rosa Caracciolo married Siffredi in 1993.

Siffredi experimented with the format during three "pre-shows." These initial performances began on July 15 in Livorno, followed by outings in Milan and Varese. He also performed in Florence on October 22. The first version of “Rocco Tells Rocco” was over three hours long, which Siffredi recognized needed to be trimmed.

Tour Performances and Future Plans

The tour officially launched in Italy in July. On October 29, Siffredi performed for over 2,000 people at the Arcimboldi Theater in Milan. On Monday night, he presented to a packed house at the Alfieri Theater in Turin. Upcoming Italian dates include the Brancaccio Theater in Rome on November 18, Celebration Theater in Bologna on November 20, and Verdi Theater in Montecatini Terme, a town in Tuscany, on November 22.

Following the Italian leg, Siffredi has plans for future shows in Paris, Switzerland, London, and New York. Siffredi spoke about the tour from his home in Budapest, Hungary.
