I agree with Matteo58, Daniele's music is a heritage that must be preserved. It is important to talk about it without forgetting his cultural and social roots that inspired his songs.
The book event about Pino Daniele is interesting, but I hope more importance is given to his music and less to crime. Naples is also beauty and art, not just problems. I can't wait to read the book!
