On January 18 and 19, 2025, the Teatro Sancarluccio in Naples will host actress Carmen Di Marzo, who will perform Nando Vitali's monologue "Il cuore inverso." This show aims to recount the courage of female partisans, protagonists of the resistance against Nazism and fascism, who rode bicycles.
The direction is entrusted to Paolo Vanacore, with original music by Alessandro Panatteri and scenes by Alessandra De Angelis, produced by NoMade Film srl.
A career between TV and theatre
Carmen Di Marzo is known to the general public for her participation in television dramas such as “Mare Fuori”, “I bastardi di Pizzofalcone”, “Il Commissario Ricciardi” and “Piedone – Uno sbirro a Napoli”. With “Il cuore inverso”, the actress returns to the stage with a work of profound emotional intensity.
Cinematic experiences
Among her notable cinematographic works, Carmen Di Marzo starred in “Viva l'Italia” and “Confusi e Felici”. She also participated in the short film “A Student Named Alessandro” which won the Nastro d'argento in 2012, and in the film “The Magic Flute of Piazza Vittorio”.
Recently, she took part in the documentary film “Ologramma”, focused on disability, available on the RaiPlay platform and directed by Francesco Zarzana. With the new show at Sancarluccio, the actress continues to explore stories of great cultural and social impact.
It's interesting to see how Carmen Di Marzo returns to the theater with a monologue that talks about partisan women. I wonder if the audience will be involved as in her TV series, even if the themes are different. Paolo Vanacore's direction promises well.
