Naples once again celebrates one of its most illustrious sons, Salvatore Di Giacomo, through the cultural initiative "Comm' a 'nu mare ca quieto pare," promoted by the Euforika Napoli association and funded by the City of Naples as part of the "Naples City of Music" project. The project's goal is to guide Neapolitan high school students through the city's history and art, following in the footsteps of Di Giacomo, a poet and playwright who symbolized Neapolitan culture.
The initiative, which develops through three thematic paths, two writing workshops, and culminates with two theatrical performances, involves students from various city high schools. Already in October, students from the Vittorio Emanuele II-Garibaldi, Piero Calamandrei and Boccioni high schools took part in a journey through the places that marked Di Giacomo's life and career: from his birthplace in via Santa Lucia to Marechiaro, the village that inspired the famous poem "Marechiare", later transformed into a worldwide love song.
Led by the association's experts, such as Pamela Palomba and Valeria Smedile, the students explored not only the places linked to the poet's personal life, but also those described in his literary and journalistic works. An immersive experience between biography, history and urban landscape, which will conclude with two theatrical performances scheduled for November 28 and 29 at the Teatro Pierrot and the Basilica of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli. The shows will feature well-known actors and artists, such as Anna Bonaiuto and Enzo Gragnaniello, and will be directed by Fausto Bellone.
The initiative will continue in the coming weeks with writing workshops in which students will develop texts and materials to be published in a commemorative book, which will be distributed during the theatrical performances. This project, emphasizes Ferdinando Tozzi, the mayor's delegate for the music and audiovisual industry, aims to keep alive among young people the inestimable artistic and cultural heritage of Salvatore Di Giacomo, so that his works continue to beat in the heart of the city and of the new generations.
