Focus on Totò
The show aims to overcome the stereotypes associated with Totò, offering a glimpse into the man behind the iconic mask. Gianni Caputo emphasizes the importance of exploring beyond the facade to understand Prince Antonio De Curtis: “Totò: the man beyond the myth, the person beyond the mask”.

The aim is to bring the public closer to Totò through poems and songs, as well as stories of his private life. According to Caputo, Totò's poems reveal the deepest aspects of his sensitivity and his passionate view of the world. Gianni Caputo and Francesca Curti Giardina are committed to offering a sincere tribute to the artist, allowing viewers to get to know his multifaceted figure more closely.
