With a guitar and a voice, David Grasselli dives into the heart of Naples,
into its legendary places, with their characters, their stories and their anecdotes,
across different periods of the city.
With the barest of means, far from the orchestras and the great tenors,
he sings Naples the way he carries it — intimately,
faithful to the sources and in the service of the style,
giving what is most generous in the popular tradition and most refined in the learned one.
Naples was the largest city in Italy before unification.
This southern capital had already known an intense musical life for several centuries,
a pioneering energy that grew until it became the main stock of Italian
music.
Naples is not just a city, it is a whole world… a world that speaks Neapolitan, and
where several thousand songs and poems were born, holding a unique place in the
musical world, between opera and folklore, between popular tradition and learned music.
They speak of love or quarrel, joy or suffering, the present or the remembered, the
betrayals or the promises… all of them speak of life, and of this city: Naples, as if it were
an immense theatre stage. A stage where every human feeling is heightened, in the tragic
as in the comic, with passion and with humour.
