“What happened to Totò’s museum?”. This has been a long-standing question for the many admirers all over the world, and therefore not only in Naples, who are bound by a deep affection and unconditional admiration for the great Neapolitan actor, who passed away over 55 years ago, on April 15, 1967.
The question is once again posed by Gennaro Capodanno, president of the Comitato Valori collinari, who, in order to raise awareness among the public administration and, in particular, the Municipality of Naples on the now historic delays with respect to the opening of the museum whose first announcement – it should be remembered – dates back to 1996, a good 27 years ago, he has also founded the group “NOI AMIAMO TOTÒ“ on the social network Facebook which has over 600 members, on the page https://www.facebook.com/groups/noiamiamototo/ .
“Next February 15th will be 125 years since the birth of Totò who saw the light on that day in the year 1898 – continues Capodanno -. But in the absence of certain news we must assume that the problems that have been delaying the opening of the Museum dedicated to the “Prince of Laughter” still persist “.
“A museum that should be built, the conditional is a must at this point, in the Palazzo dello Spagnolo in via Vergini, a few meters from that via Santa Maria Antesaecula where Prince Antonio De Curtis was born – Capodanno recalls -. But from year to year the appointment is postponed. The last communication on the matter dates back to June of last year. There was talk of the interest of the Ministry of Culture with the investment of ad hoc resources. Then a deathly silence fell on the matter again. “.
Capodanno, on the occasion of yet another anniversary, once again makes a public appeal to the Neapolitan municipal administration, specifically to the mayor of Naples, Manfredi, so that the museum dedicated to Totò can finally see the light in the city that gave him birth and to which he remained tied throughout his existence.
