Double date with Il Teatro cerca Casa by Manlio Santanelli, the series of itinerant shows in private apartments. On Saturday, March 23rd in Portici at 8pm, "Andrà tutto... boh" written and performed by Danilo Rovani with Francesca Morgante takes the stage. On Sunday, March 24th at 6pm, the Santanelli-Coletta living room hosts "For Love" with Alberico Lombardi, a musical and verbal portrait dedicated to Roberto Vecchioni. The actor is accompanied on violin by maestro Giorgio Scognamiglio and on guitar and piano by maestro Sergio Mautone, who also took care of the arrangements and musical direction.

"Andrà tutto... boh" is set in Naples during Covid. In an apartment, Vladimiro and Nefertiti, brother and sister born to former '68 activists, live, despite themselves, the arrival of the pandemic. The spaces become increasingly tight due to the impossibility of leaving the house. Vladimiro, an illustrator, creator of a comic book, played by, is afflicted by various phobias, especially of a hypochondriac nature. For this reason, he experiences the condition of confinement as a godsend. A way to no longer have to face responsibilities, tensions, and above all social relationships. Nefertiti, open, expansive, in search of confrontation but, above all, of the soul mate, in love with life and love, does not want to give in to resignation and attempts, in addition to rebelling, to make her brother understand that even from a dramatic condition something good can be taken.

"For Love" is a sung and narrated show, which celebrates the music and poetry of Professor Vecchioni. The love for music, for teaching, for his women, for his children, but, above all, the love for life and for humanity. Alternating with anecdotes and reflections, Lombardi sings the most beautiful songs from the songwriter's repertoire: from the most known like Samarcanda, Chiamami ancora amore, Luci a San Siro to Le rose blu dedicated to his son suffering from multiple sclerosis. "For Love - explains Lombardi - comes from an in-depth study of the songs and literary compositions of Vecchioni and aims straight at the heart of the spectator, preferring the most autobiographical songs, to tell about the discovery of faith, illness, the strength of ideas, the joys experienced, the pains forgotten and overcome that belong to a time Vecchioni defines as "vertical", happiness, which should always accompany us despite difficulties".
