"Naples? It's a beautiful city, full of excitement, culture. But too often the victim of prejudice". Marisa Laurito always comes to the fore when it comes to "her" Naples. (HANDLE)


"Naples is changing? Like all the capitals of the world. It is a beautiful city, full of ferment, culture. But too often the victim of prejudice". Marisa Laurito always comes to the fore, without fear, when it comes to her city. Even early in the morning, while she is doing makeup on the Neapolitan set of the second season of "Mina Settembre", the Rai1 fiction with Serena Rossi, of which she is one of the new entries.


"I play her aunt. A somewhat peculiar, atypical woman", he smiles. And it is Naples with its culture that will bring on TV in these days of celebration, the protagonist of a series of appointments on Rai1.


Starting from December 25th, on Christmas evening, when in prime time, he will be an exceptional "guide" for Alberto Angela through the Sanità district in his "Tonight in Naples". And then there are two "Evenings of honor", on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of the tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) and for the 100th anniversary of the birth of Maestro Sergio Bruni (1921-2003), broadcast in the late evening, on December 25th and January 1st.


To lead them, Laurito herself from the stage of the Trianon Viviani Theater of which she is the director and who has brought them back to life, consecrating it as a temple of Neapolitan music, "from the sacred songs of the '400 to the melodies that made us famous in the world, up to big names like Peppino Di Capri and Pino Daniele. On the lower floor of the theater - says the actress - we have set up a Room of Wonders, where in half an hour you can cross all this, between 19th century paintings and the sea that seems invade the walls. On the upper floor, there is the Room of Memory, with the largest archive on the history of Neapolitan song with 100,000 songs digitized by Scabec and another 80,000 by Rai ".


To tell Bruni and Caruso in the two evenings, between stage and video, are artists such as Lina Sastri, Andrea Bocelli, Jonas Kaufmann, Cecilia Gasdia, Il Volo, Vittorio Grigolo, Daniel Oren and the young Nicholas Ceragioli, who at 14 is already preparing to a great career. Mauro Gioia will sing Because, while Ron will remember when Lucio Dalla wrote Caruso.


"Bruni and Caruso have a lot in common - continues Laurito - Caruso came from a very poor family and managed to export not only the Neapolitan song to the United States, recording more than a thousand records, but also Made in Italy and cooking. convinced that he kept repeating: 'you can also say that I am a mediocre singer, but not that I am a poor cook.' Sergio Bruni was the 'voice of Naples.' When he went to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York the newspapers wrote that he had arrived there Caruso's heir. I recorded my first album with him. He was very demanding - he smiles - I owe this slightly hoarse voice to him: he made me try and try again, to exhaustion ".


But Naples is also Luciano De Crescenzo, whose "Thus spoke Bellavista" on tour from January, in the adaptation signed by Geppy Gleijeses. And above all Eduardo De Filippo, with whom Laurito started very young, and which Sergio Rubini tells with "The De Filippo brothers", the fiction broadcast on Rai1 on December 29, dedicated to the young Eduardo, Titina and Peppino, children, not recognized, of an imposing father like Eduardo Scarpetta. "A film I was very keen to participate in - confesses Laurito - Both for Eduardo and for the character: I'm Rosa Scarpetta, the wife of the De Filippo father. A woman so loved by the king that she even gave him a son, who was then recognized as Scarpetta: a not indifferent pass for the time Starting your career with Eduardo is 'different'.He taught me discipline - he continues - The first time I met him he was very elegant, in a pink shirt and blue jacket. On her face, even though it was made up, it still had some porosity. I thought, 'he really has the theater inside, even under his skin'. It was 1972, I was 21 years old and I was trying to audition for Le bugie con le le le legge - he still remembers - Once he finished he called me in the dressing room. I thought you meant to tell me that I really 'sucked'. Instead I found a script in his hand that thought: 'hardware, we can use handle ...'. He was taking all R words off my lines, to help me. "also under the skin '. It was 1972, I was 21 years old and I was trying to audition for Le bugie con le le le legge - he still remembers - Once he finished he called me in the dressing room.
