Maurizio De Giovanni, a famous Italian writer, was recently the guest of honor at the second edition of the Summa Libri Festival, held in the suggestive Monumental Complex of Santa Maria del Pozzo in Somma Vesuviana. During his visit, De Giovanni expressed a deep appreciation for the historical and artistic heritage of the city, located in a region that includes the renowned archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Somma Vesuviana: A Cultural Center of Significance
Somma Vesuviana stands as a cultural center of importance, deserving of the same attention as Pompeii and Herculaneum. The city boasts not only the historic church of Santa Maria del Pozzo, with its crypts and cloister, but also the Villa Augustea, an archaeological site of extraordinary value. Mayor Salvatore Di Sarno expressed gratitude for De Giovanni's words of praise and stressed the importance of continuing to promote the local cultural heritage with the support of regional and national bodies.
Cultural Events of Great Appeal
The city is in a period of great cultural ferment, with events that highlight its rich heritage. Among these, the extraordinary openings of the archaeological site of the Villa Augustea in the first days of October, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its wonders from 9:13 to 15:30 and from 17:30 to 6:XNUMX. In addition, the Castle of Lucrezia D'Alagno will host the show of the Japanese musician Jun Aoki, a well-known interpreter of the classic Neapolitan song, scheduled for the evening of October XNUMX.
A Marriage of Art and History
Jun Aoki’s concert at the Castello di Lucrezia D’Alagno, a manor house dating back to 1458, represents a fascinating intersection between music and history. Accompanied on mandolin and classical guitar by Neapolitan composer Alessandro D’Alessandro, Aoki will offer a unique evening in the cultural panorama of Campania. The event will also include a visit to the “Vesuvius” exhibition, which displays the works of artists such as Vincenzo Gargiulo, Gennaro Borriello and Ludovico della Rocca. Somma Vesuviana thus confirms itself as a lively cultural hub, capable of attracting artists and audiences from all over the region thanks to its unique history, art and natural beauty.
