A History of Neapolitan Drama in the Twentieth Century
In a world that tends to homologate, thus becoming, in every aspect of our lives, grey, flat and uniform, so creating the world of universal similarity (including language), does it still make sense today to talk about vernacular theatre? Tackling such a question implies uncovering the reasons for the disappearance of the many regional theatres that were present in Italy in the nineteenth century. There is no doubt that first the unification of the country in 1861, and then the language policies of fascism in the ‘30s were the final nails in the coffin for local theatres. It is also true, however, that what really determined their downsizing was the progressive loss of connection with thei...

Campania
Un viaggio brillante, originale e divertente attraverso la Campania, alla ricerca delle storie e dei misteri che le isole italiane nascondono. (Questi racconti fanno parte della più ampia raccolta Avventure di piccole terre). L’Italia è ricca di isole e le isole italiane sono ricche di storia. Il Mediterraneo può essere considerato la Polinesia d’Europa per la quantità e la diversità delle terre emerse. Sono circa ottocento le isole italiane, di cui solo un’ottantina abitate. Ma anche le isole disabitate nascondono storie misteriose, tesori, delitti, amori. Sulle isole approdano anime in fuga da destini perversi, anime in cerca di destini improbabili. Eremiti e mitomani, pescatori e peccatori, migranti e bagnanti, artisti e avventurieri, dittatori e truffatori... le loro storie spesso finiscono in leggenda.
Vita di Eduardo
A quarant'anni dalla scomparsa, Eduardo De Filippo (1900-1984) continua a esercitare il fascino umano e artistico che soltanto i grandissimi sanno emanare. In questa biografia ormai classica, il critico Maurizio Giammusso ricostruisce con rigore ed esaustività la vicenda pubblica e privata di Eduardo: l'infanzia trascorsa sotto l'ala del padre naturale, il grande commediografo Eduardo Scarpetta; i rapporti affettuosi con la sorella Titina e quelli burrascosi con il fratello Peppino; il difficile passaggio attraverso gli anni del fascismo, della guerra e del dopoguerra, che sono anche quelli in cui vedono la luce le sue opere più celebri – Natale in casa Cupiello, Napoli milionaria!, Questi fantasmi!, Filumena Marturano – fino alle incursioni tutt'altro che sporadiche nel cinema e nella televisione, che ne faranno una figura di tale rilievo nella cultura e nella società italiana da meritare la nomina di senatore a vita. Un indimenticabile ritratto personale che è anche l'affresco storico di un'epoca.
Pamela Tiffin
Dark-haired 60s cult pop icon Pamela Tiffin debuted in Summer and Smoke (1961) and was a scene-stealing comedienne opposite James Cagney in Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (1961) before becoming the queen of teenage drive-in movies in State Fair (1963), Come Fly with Me (1963), For Those Who Think Young (1964), The Lively Set (1964) and The Pleasure Seekers (1964). After landing a sexy adult role opposite Paul Newman in Harper (1966), she went blonde and ran away to Italy to star in such films as Kiss the Other Sheik (1968), The Fifth Cord (1971) and Deaf Smith & Johnny Ears (1973). This thoroughly researched career retrospective pays tribute to the talented Tiffin, hailed by Cagney for her "remarkable flair for comedy," and addresses why she did not achieve superstardom. Interviews with co-stars, including Franco Nero, and film historians offer a behind-the-scenes look at her most popular films.
