The Fondazione Mediterraneo granted Mediterranean Award Art and Creativity 2010 to Maestro Roberto De Simone.
Theater director, composer and musicologist, De Simone has given an exemplary contribution to the history of lyric art and of the arts of entertainment, especially as manager of San Carlo Theater of Naples. His primary aim was to valorize and repropose the cultural, theatrical and musical heritage of the popular tradition of Campania, both oral and written. The popular repertoire is not reproposed in an arbitrary way, it rather relies on systems related to culture, such as for instance writing and metrical elaboration.
The Scientific Committee – considering the artistic, cultural and social aims of the project – decided to sponsor the social documentary film "La Pianura delle Mille e Una Notte", directed by Maddalena Merlino, a Filmrouge – Pianoerre production.
The Institut Français de Naples and the University of Naples "l´Orientale" hosted Wassyla Tamzali who presented the Italian edition of her book "Una passione algerina" (An Algerian Passion) (pub. Filema).
In Naples the 8th March marked a significant moment through the action of Napoli Positiva. The women of Naples took part in a demonstration to claim their right to live their own choices, as well as denouncing and recalling that, all over the world, the massacre of women is going on.
