From tammurriata to pizzica, from posteggia to popular theater: from June 20 to 23, 2019, the second edition of the Southern Italian Folk Music Festival will take place. Organized by the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte with the support of the Campania Region, it is part of the "Naples is Art" project, funded by POC-Complementary Operational Program 2014-2020, in collaboration with the MusiCapodimonte association and Il Canto di Virgilio. The free-admission festival will be based at Porta di Mezzo (the closest entrance is Porta Piccola), but there will also be traveling music along the avenues of the wood. A true community experience to recover, preserve, and spread traditional music, through the contagious power of music and dance.
Two evening concerts:
- Friday 21 June, 21.00-22.30 pm: Alla Bua in concert, a group from Puglia specializing in pizzica salentina, several times on the stage of the “Notte della Taranta”
- Saturday 22 June, 21.00-22.30 pm: Carlo Faiello in “Argiento Vivo”, author of songs that have become true classics of popular music.

Round tables on the theme of Posteggia (Saturday 23 June, 17.30:XNUMX p.m.) and on Popular Theatre (Sunday XNUMX June, XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.) with actors Giulio Adinolfi, Oscar di Maio and Corrado Taranto, with the aim of creating, in the next season, as many reviews on the historical song and the ancient art of Posteggia and on the recovery of the Campanian Popular Theatre.
