I napoletani non sono romantici. Con 8 microracconti di Elvio Porta

Like a melancholy yet joyful – desperately happy – melody emanating from his saxophone, in these pages Marco Zurzolo retraces a series of artistic and life moments, tapping the keys of memory and heart. And so, in the light of 1970s Naples, emerge Via San Sebastiano and the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella, Enzo Avitabile and Pino Daniele (the Giant with glasses). But above all, Rino, the brother who ignites his passion for music. Who with his bass gives rhythm to life, even if time betrays him. Rino goes away too soon. Like his friend Elvio Porta – a brilliant screenwriter and director, a life dedicated to cinema, lost in the shadows of the theater – of whom Zurzolo has collected eight "micro-stories" that form the second part of this book. The volume is completed by a selection of 14 musical pieces, among Marco Zurzolo's most beautiful, which can be listened to via QR code.
