“I am extremely interested in honoring one of the greatest Italians of all time” – wrote former mayor Catello Polito – in supporting the petition. A convinced yes from journalist Luigi Vicinanza
“Yes, because Castellammare di Stabia was a Gramascian city in the second half of the 900th century.
A broad alliance was built around the working class of the large factories with the middle classes, students and teachers and the most marginal proletariat itself.
A political and cultural hegemony, rare in a city of the South, of Gramscian style”. The promoting committee hopes that it will proceed as soon as possible: “April 27 is the anniversary of the death of Antonio Gramsci, it would be a nice gesture to define the political administrative procedure for that date”.
