PINO DANIELE: NAPLES IS THE SOUL OF MUSIC, FROM MASCALZONE LATINO TO GIOGIÒ
|
11 December 2024
The Cardinal of Naples, Don Mimmo Battaglia remembers Pino Daniele on the occasion of the publication of Pietro Perone's book.
"Pino Daniele was a poet of the people, a voice that knew how to sing the beauty and pain of Naples, its chiaroscuros, inhabited by a thousand colours. With his notes and words he told us about the human soul, with its feelings and dreams, but also the soul of a people, our own. "Tell me when this war will end" he sings in one of his most touching songs, and today these words resonate like a cry because we are all waiting for the end of a war: the one that lives inside us, the one of violence that still abounds in our cities, the one that wounds relationships, and that sows death in many places in the world. May Pino's music, with its universal language, be for all of us an inexhaustible source of inspiration, of breaking down walls and building bridges of peace and hope in the heart of Naples, in the heart of the world".
The book will soon be presented at the United States of the World and the Museum of Peace.
