At just 37 years old, Salvatore Liguori, the young director of the Totò Theater, has lost his battle with cancer. He leaves behind his wife and three-year-old son. His final farewell will be tomorrow at the famous Neapolitan artists' church, San Ferdinando, located in Piazza Trieste e Trento in Naples.
Great emotion and grief flood the world of entertainment and Neapolitan theater. Son of art, Salvatore has inherited the same passion as his father, Gaetano, the former artistic director of the theater. An unspeakable sadness envelops those who knew him as a professional and as a human being.
A moving testimony comes from Chiara, who fondly remembers Salvatore, describing his human traits and family devotion… “Sasà, your love for Flavia was for me an example of seriousness and maturity at only 25 years old… I remember your kind smile, your thoughtful sweetness, your precise attention to the little things… The news of your passing after years of illness chills this warm April day…”
From the managers of the Teatro Totò Facebook page, the last farewell is communicated to the young director, Salvatore Liguori, who passed away at only 37 years old after a tenacious fight against the disease. Also remembered for his passion for photography, Salvatore was a point of reference in the field of entertainment and theatrical art.
A sea of greetings full of affection for Salvatore Liguori
Expressions of affection in memory of Salvatore Liguori have flooded social media. Among these, one stands out: that of Kekka: "You welcomed me into the academy with kindness and loyalty... You taught me to believe and fight for my passion, leading me to graduate. Rest in peace, Sasy."
Bruno also left a touching farewell: “You, along with the teachers, helped me grow and taught me what it means to act on stage. The photo is from 2013, and 11 years later I feel exactly the same way I did that day, and I owe this above all to you, who left us too soon. I promised myself I would return to the theater, and I will, if not for myself, then for you. I love you, Totò, may the earth rest lightly upon you.”
