The success of 'Nero a Metà'
Stefano Senardi, one of the authors, expressed his gratitude for the invitation to Portofino Days, acknowledging the fundamental role of the support of the Genova Liguria Film Commission and Ligyes Alassio Genova Cultura Fest. The film traces the artistic evolution of Pino Daniele, starting from his origins to reach international success with the album 'Nero a metà', up to the famous concert in Piazza del Plebiscito in 1981. This event was symbolic for a community that was dealing with the consequences of the Irpinia earthquake.
The musical legacy of Pino Daniele
The documentary highlights the determination of Pino Daniele, a central figure in the Italian and world music scene. The city of Naples and Daniele's musical collaborators play an essential role in this narrative, underlining a unique cultural and musical revolution.
