It was canceled la presentation of the book di Gaetano Quagliariello by Title “Sorry Dad if I'm a Napoli fan” to the Provincial Art Gallery di Salerno, scheduled for Thursday 29 June. It is announced Hamlet De Silva, a writer who would have participated in the presentation of the book, an event against which the Forza Italia municipal councilor expressed himself Roberto Celano, according to which the presentation of a book on Napoli a Salerno was “inappropriate and provocative”.
According to De Silva “a book presentation, first of all, must be a party, and when someone comes along to ruin it, there’s no point in doing it.
Let's be clear, though: neither I nor Professor Quagliariello have ever said a word about Salernitana or its fans: never. The title of the book, moreover, refers to a Juventus father, just to be clear".
Yet: "an institutional location was requested not to provoke, but precisely to underline the uselessness of feuds between curves and as a sign of respect for the community. If someone really wanted to provoke (obviously in an ironic way), well, I inform you that in Salerno there is a theater named after a pure-blood Neapolitan die-hard fan of Napoli: but let's skip over that too. As far as we're concerned, the controversy ends here: no one died, let's stay in God's grace and avoid getting into unnecessary rages."
De Silva finally underlines that “nobody forced anyone to cancel anything. It has nothing to do with Salerno, it has nothing to do with Salernitana.
Simply, we believe that the presentation of a book should not be followed by previous controversies. It's just that at a certain point the desire passes.
Let's try not to make a big deal out of it,” he concludes.
