On Wednesday, April 24, the writer and master of Neapolitan humor Pino Imperatore will be a guest in Sant'Agnello. In the Council Chamber at 20:00 pm, after the greeting by Mayor Antonino Coppola and Councilor for Tourism Marcello Aversa, there will be a dialogue with the author, taking inspiration from the narration of the book "Allah, San Gennaro ei tre kamikaze", a novel that explores the bizarre and imaginative soul of Naples through its artistic and cultural beauties, unlikely human encounters and hilarious moments, capable of leaving a mark on memory, redefining missions and values, to the point of modifying and giving meaning back to the course of events.
