San Giorgio a Cremano - Tomorrow, February 19th, would be the 72nd birthday of Massimo Troisi, the iconic artist born in this city in 1953. To mark this anniversary, we recall a memorable evening in 1980 at the TTC Club, located in the Vomero district of Naples.
That evening, the group "La Smorfia," composed of Enzo Decaro, Lello Arena, and Massimo Troisi himself, received the award dedicated to Alighiero Noschese, another great figure of Neapolitan culture who had passed away the previous year.

The TTC Club, a historic club in Naples, was a hub for cultural events between the late 70s and early 80s, achieving significant resonance both locally and nationally.

One of the most significant events was the "International Comics and Animated Film Festival", which over six editions hosted internationally renowned personalities such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, Joaquin Lavado (Quino), author of Mafalda, and the Brazilian Jo Oliveira.

. Among the Italians, Paolo Del Vaglio, Giorgio Forattini, Attilio Michelutti, Giuliano Rossetti and Renato Calligaro took part in the demonstration.

This commemoration not only celebrates the life and work of Massimo Troisi but also reminds us of the crucial role that places like the TTC Club have played in promoting culture and art in a vibrant and talent-rich Naples.
