Don Franco Rapullino, parish priest of the church of San Giuseppe a Chiaia, Naples, who in 1990 delivered a strong appeal to young people from the altar ("Fuitevenne 'a Napule") following the murder of 21-month-old Nunzio Pandolfi, killed by the Camorra along with his father Gennaro, expresses his disappointment in no uncertain terms with Parthenope, the film by Paolo Sorrentino.
In an interview with ROMA, the priest criticizes in particular some scenes linked to the cult of San Gennaro, calling the representation of the miracle and the figure of a cardinal "offensive".

In those scenes, where he inserts a desecrating cardinal, he made disgusting what is most dear to our people, presenting them as grotesque in their faith, which is instead genuine." Don Rapullino adds: "Naples is better than what was shown in that film; there is nothing appreciable. It seems that everything in Naples revolves around power, ambition, sex, and money."
