Article Key Points
This text is intended as a fundamental guide for those who intend to approach writing in the Neapolitan language, respecting its historical and linguistic tradition.
A tribute to the Neapolitan language
“Scrivere in napoletano (decentemente)” is not simply a technical manual; it represents a tribute to the linguistic and cultural richness of Naples, a city where the language is considered an intangible heritage. Claudio Mattone offers his experience to preserve and spread the distinctive characteristics of the Neapolitan language, such as phonetics, vocabulary and grammar, offering a valuable tool both for expert writers and for those who approach this language for the first time.
A special event at the Teatro Delle Arti
The event is organized by Cos, Fondazione Copernico and CTA, with the support of the Municipality of Salerno. During the evening, there will be not only literature, but also music, thanks to the special participation of Ciro Caravano of Neri per Caso with his pop choir. The debate will be moderated by journalists Monica De Santis and Olga Chieffi, offering a platform for a discussion full of ideas.
Promotion of reading and cultural activities
In conjunction with the book presentation, a civic library will be inaugurated in the foyer of the theater, part of the “Salerno legge” project of the Copernico Foundation. This book crossing initiative aims to promote reading and build a community of committed readers. Admission to the event is free until all available seats are taken, offering a rare opportunity to explore Neapolitan culture in a context of sharing and participation.
