StoriaCinema celebrates Riccardo Pazzaglia on the centenary of his birth.

On the occasion of the centenary of Riccardo Pazzaglia's birth, the StoriaCinema web channel , directed by Giovanni Cecini , dedicates a special episode entitled "100 years of RICCARDO PAZZAGLIA" . The episode will be available on YouTube (@GiovanniCeciniStoriaCinema) starting at 6:45 a.m. on Saturday 12 September 2026.

The program's guest will be journalist and writer Michelangelo Iossa . In conversation with Giovanni Cecini, Pazzaglia's many artistic experiences—writer, journalist, actor, lyricist, and director—will be explored, with insights into his books, his songs, and his partnership with Domenico Modugno.

The episode will also retrace the key moments of his life: his origins in the Sanità district, his training in directing at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia under the guidance of figures such as Blasetti, De Sica and Rossellini, his experiences in radio (Radio Ombra), his literary career and his memory of his television appearance on Renzo Arbore's Quelli della Notte .

During the broadcast, an initiative combining cinema and tailoring will be presented: a pure silk tie featuring the iconic red seahorse from Luciano De Crescenzo's film "Così parlò Bellavista" (Thus Spoke Bellavista) has been created for the Neapolitan brand E. Marinella . The tie, produced in Naples and accompanied by a commemorative booklet, is on display at the E. Marinella store on Via Riviera di Chiaia / Piazza Vittoria.

This episode is intended as a tribute to a figure who captured the cultural soul of Naples with intelligence and irony, revealing to the public the many faces of Riccardo Pazzaglia.
