In the heart of Benevento, the "Benevento Città Spettacolo" festival paid heartfelt tribute to Peppino Di Capri, a symbol of Italian music, with the first edition of the "Legendary Personalities" Award. The event, held in the evocative setting of Casa Rummo, recognized the cultural contributions of figures who have left a significant mark on the history of Italian entertainment.
Piazza Santa Sofia, packed with spectators, hosted an evening rich in emotion and memories, featuring artists such as Lina Sastri, Enzo Gragnaniello, and Monica Sarnelli, who shared anecdotes and reflections on their relationship with Di Capri and his ability to combine Neapolitan tradition with an international scope. Hosted by Gigi Marzullo and directed by Renato Giordano, the event wove together music, images, and personal accounts, transforming the event into a journey through collective memory.
One of the most touching moments was the meeting with Edo Faiella, son of Peppino Di Capri and a musician, welcomed by Mayor Clemente Mastella, who emphasized the value of the famous singer's artistic legacy.
The festival is nearing its conclusion with a program that includes other important performances, such as Eugenio Bennato's performance in Piazza Roma and Alessandro Siani's sold-out show "Fake News" in Piazza Cardinal Pacca. Benevento Città Spettacolo thus confirms its role as a key event in the cultural landscape, combining memory and innovation through music and theater.
