25 years after the death of Frank Troiano, an unforgettable promoter and creator of the memorable concert season in the Metelli city in the 80s and 90s, the City of Cava de' Tirreni pays homage to his memory by dedicating a double dedication to him.
On Saturday 11 January 2025 at 12 pm the naming ceremony of the Viale and the Piazzale that will bear his name will take place in the Palaeventi Area of Pregiato. A choice with a strong symbolic value that creates a bridge between the glorious history written by Ciccio Troiano in his career and the future place with which the Metelliana city is preparing to reopen its doors to major live events.
Long Franco Troiano Avenue 20 totems will be placed which will recall the most iconic concerts he organized at the Stadio Comunale.

"I think I can say that my father was a champion, one of those people who have something more and who manage to achieve what seems impossible to others. On behalf of myself and my family, and I feel I can speak on behalf of the entire city, we welcome with great pride this naming of the square and the avenue that will give the direction to the future Palaeventi" comments Alfonso Troiano, AD of 60's productions.
Frank Troiano born to parents from Cava on January 10, 1949In the 80s and 90s, he achieved what would be pure utopia today: turning Cava de'Tirreni, a small provincial town, into a capital of live music. During his career as a promoter, he organized concerts by the biggest names in international and national music: Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Simple Minds, Prince, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Guns N' Roses, Sting, Tina Turner, The Cure, Deep Purple, The Clash, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Vasco Rossi, Claudio Baglioni, and Pino Daniele, to name a few. Besides founding Gipsy, one of the first nightclubs in Metelli, which gave rise to the legendary 60s cooperative, formed by a group of young people born in that decade, he also left his mark on Cava de'Tirreni through his sporting achievements. Always a fan of the local team, of which he was also a goalkeeper, he contributed to the promotion of the Aquilotti to Serie B and then became President of Cavese Calcio from 1996 to 1999.
His passing on April 29, 1999 left an unfillable void.. Thanks to him, the City of Cava de' Tirreni will always be remembered for that extraordinary season of concerts that made the generations of Cava residents who experienced it proud, as well as the subsequent ones who grew up in the "echo" of those memorable events.

I agree with you, it is important to honor the people who have given so much to the community. Troiano's concerts have left a deep mark and deserve to be remembered with respect.
It is a very nice gesture to name the avenues and squares after Franco Troiano. He is a man who has done so much for music and for the city. I hope that this memory will remain alive for future generations.
