PRESENTATION OF PIETRO PERONE'S BOOK: “PINO DANIELE. NAPOLI E L’ANIMA DELLA MUSICA, DAL MASCALZONE LATINO A GIÒGIÒ”.
10 January 2025
The presentation of the book by Pietro Perone, journalist and editor-in-chief of the Mattino, entitled: "Pino Daniele. Napoli e l'anima della musica, dal mascalzone latino a Giògiò" (San Paolo Editions).
It is a book that speaks not only of Pino Daniele ten years after his untimely death, but of the city that the singer-songwriter narrated in its chiaroscuro. The Naples of yesterday, the one that reunited on the evening of 19 September 1981 with Pino and his band in Piazza Plebiscito, for the dream of a change that is still being chased today, and the Naples of today, the one that walks on two tracks: one is the beautiful carpet of tourism and the other the dirty pavement of truth that includes young people who kill their peers.
"It is not a festive book, explained the author - the idea of writing this book was born on 31 August 2023, when the news arrived at the editorial office that Giovanbattista Cutolo, 24, a musician and a student at the San Pietro a Maiella conservatory, had been killed. The same conservatory that Pino would have liked to attend, which he later failed to enrol in because the aunts who raised him convinced him that it was better to seek a permanent place by enrolling in accountancy. I asked myself: can Naples, where a boy who lived only on music was killed, still be the city of Pino Daniele? And I searched for the answers by picking up the verses of Pino's songs and there in those songs I found all the answers: there are continuous social messages, secular prayers for Naples to rise again. Pino's verses are more relevant today than ever, but while I was doing this work three other boys were killed: Emanuele, Santo, Arcangelo. The initial question became a desperate cry that is present in the book, but there is also the hope given by Pino and his verses".

There was a large influx of visitors and students, particularly from primary and middle schools, to the "228th anniversary of the birth of the tricolour flag".
Videos, images and documents - from the first presentation of the tricolour in Genoa in 1789 - involved the young visitors.
There were many connections through the Museum's large videowalls: in particular with the city of Reggio Emilia for the main celebrations in that city, where the flag-raising ceremony and the playing of the national anthem took place in square Prampolini.

Emotion and nostalgia at the Museum of Peace - MAMT, in the "PINO DANIELE ALIVE" section, ten years after the great musician's death.
"We had spoken just a few minutes before the end of that 2014 to exchange greetings - said President Michele Capasso - but above all to agree on what to do next: the section of the Museum of Peace - MAMT that he so strongly wanted, the Concert for Peace and much more. That January day in 2015, the phone call from his son Alessandro froze my heart... and then the contacts with the mayor of Naples to organise the funeral in HIS NAPLES too !".
Ten years later Pino lives again in the section of the Museum of Peace: "PINO DANIELE ALIVE".
With humility and passion we fill the "famine of him and his music" by lovingly welcoming colleagues (Emma, Elodie, Ornella Vanoni, Tullio de Piscopo, etc.), fans, the many children suffering from rare diseases who find comfort in his music, the many international guests.
All outside the commercial canons and without time limits: those who enter this space leave after hours moved and retain an indelible trace of Pino's emotions.
The highlights in Michele Capasso's docufilm "PINO IS TERRA MIA".
We love you, Dear Pino!
