In the heart of Casapesenna, on the historic area once occupied by Michele Zagaria's bunker, the Summer School UCSI lights up the summer with an event of strong civil impact: the director Marco Risi, author of the cult movie Fortapasc, will be the protagonist of an evening event dedicated to the memory of Giancarlo Siani, 40 years after his sacrifice.

Pompeii Film Festival: Opening at the Nexus Cinema with Enrico Vanzina June 4, 2025 - 01:18 pm
21pm – Outdoor screening of Fortapasc
As the sun sets, the poignant notes of the soundtrack and the cult scenes of the film evoke the Naples of the 80s, between “enemy lands” and courageous editorial offices.
The book that tells the parallel investigation
Peter Perone – journalist of The morning for over 40 years – retraces eight years of silence and cover-ups after the Siani murder (September 23, 1985). Thanks to the arrival in the editorial office of Sergio Zavoli and Paolo Graldi, a new investigation begins: from the disappearance of a crucial manuscript to the hope – never accepted – of an escort for the young reporter. An essential contribution to civic memory, published by St. Paul Editions.
Free participation and sponsorship
The initiative, promoted by Agrorinasce with the support of Bibi Film and the patronage of the main Italian journalistic associations, is open to all. A unique opportunity to transform a square born from a Camorra bunker into a symbol of cultural rebirth.
Don't miss it: join us for an evening of open-air cinema, discussion and civic engagement, to celebrate the courage of those who challenged the mafia with the pen.

This event is very important for the memory of Giancarlo Siani. The participation of Marco Risi and other famous people is a great occasion. I hope that there will be many people to participate, to never forget.
