Volevamo portare il mare a Scampia

Fifty years of Naples' history told through the memories of Riccardo Marone, first as a simple citizen and then as Mayor. The narrative, filtered through the author's complex and emotional relationship with the city, unfolds from the Naples of the 1950s to the intense memories of the extraordinary era of the 1960s, from the thrilling victories of the left in the 1970s to his retreat into professional activity in the 1980s, and on to his commitment to city government, when he went from being a witness to events to becoming a protagonist. Half a century of events, impressions, contrasting feelings, and political assessments of a man born into a family always committed to the struggle for freedom and a just society.
