The Casa del Giallo in Naples, located in via Enrico Alvino 129 in the Vomero district, is preparing to become the hub of one of the most fascinating and disturbing legends in music. On the occasion of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the breakup of the Beatles, Thursday 10 April 2025 at 20.00:XNUMX pm, “PAUL IS DEAD” will be staged, an event that will explore the mysterious story surrounding the alleged death of Sir Paul McCartney, told by journalist and writer Michelangelo Iossa.
The legend comes to life
Iossa, considered one of the most renowned Italian experts on the Beatles, has delved into the band’s history through dozens of literary works and radio and television broadcasts. The McCartney Death Theory, also known as “PID,” emerged in 1969, claiming that the legendary bassist had died in a car accident in 1966 and had been replaced by a lookalike to avoid arousing suspicion.
Messages to decode
The first mention of the legend dates back to September 1969, when the University of Illinois' Northern Star student magazine ran a headline, "Clues Point to Beatle's Alleged Death," sparking a frenzy of interest in the musical enigma. On October 12 of that year, Detroit's WKNR-FM DJ Russell 'Russ' Gibb received a phone call from a listener inviting him to examine some Beatles songs, revealing the alleged secret hidden within the notes. The legend continues to thrive, despite the lack of official confirmation. Supporters claim to have found **"coded messages"** scattered throughout the songs, which suggest unexpected truths about McCartney's disappearance.
