Gaia Zucchi Opens Event Series with 'The Neighbor of Zeffirelli' Book Presentation

Actress Gaia Zucchi, with her book 'The Neighbor of Zeffirelli' (De Nigris Publishers) will open the calendar of events organized by the association Ad Alta Voce Ets, founded and chaired by maestro Carlo Morelli, scheduled in the monumental Church of San Potito, on via Tommasi 1, where every Saturday morning of May, at 11, free guided tours will be held by the art historian Raoul Formicola. It will reveal to citizens and tourists the charm and wonder of the church and the precious works by Nicolò De Simone, Giacinto Diano, Luca Giordano, Andrea Vaccaro, Pacecco De Rosa, and Domenico Mondo that it houses. On Tuesday, April 23, at 6:00 p.m., Gaia will lead the audience through the pages of a book that celebrates above all the friendship between women and the discovery of the Catholic faith by the author, through a heartfelt and touching dialogue with Maestro Franco Zeffirelli. A book 'irreverent' and with a rebellious soul. Just like the author, Gaia Zucchi, an unconventional actress, who tells her story in an explosion of irony and sincerity. It is a succession of stories of broken and fulfilled dreams, escapes from normality to chase the greatest and most hidden joys, but also secrets and anecdotes of an extraordinary life, lived with delicacy. A story that revolves around the great friendship with Maestro Zeffirelli, for over fifteen years her neighbor, mentor, and source of inspiration. 'I wander in the park of my new villa and see a gentleman, with shears, cutting portions of hedges. I recognize him immediately. Two very powerful blue eyes. I start to dream, it would be wonderful if he directed me in about thirty films. He was very lucky to meet me,' this is the memory of the first meeting with the famous director. At the event, organized by architect Daniela Rinaldini, the presence of entrepreneur Lorena Rutigliano, founder of the LM management agency always close to the female world and social issues, is announced among the guests. The journalist Giovanni Occhiello will moderate the meeting, which, along with the author, will be attended by Mariano Lambiase and Andrea Sensale. Readings by Walter Garibaldi and Andrea Di Bella. Free admission. The calendar of events in the Church of San Potito will continue with the concert That's Napoli Live Show, promoted and supported by the Department of Tourism and Productive Activities of the City of Naples (Thursday, April 25 - 8:00 p.m.). Saturday, May 11, at 6:00 p.m., scheduled is the presentation of the book 'About Love. Surprising Encounters in the Era of Online Dating' (De Ferrari Publisher) by Antonio Tortolano, which will be preceded by a guided tour (at 4:30 p.m.) by the art historian Raoul Formicola.
