48 - Naples - Nov 15 - Part 1
Once a glittering regional capital, modern Naples' reputation has been tarnished by organised crime and soaring unemployment but in this week's programme, Amanda Palmer and the 48 team meet local journalists Andrea and Ilaria, who show them how this brash city is determined to shrug off the forces holding it back.
The most destructive of these forces is the local mafia, The Camorra older and arguably more powerful than Sicily's Cosa Nostra - which operates like a vast corporation controlling Neapolitan business and local politics. But some are willing to challenge their power, as 48 discovers when Andrea takes the team to meet the The "Sott' 'o pont'" (Under the Bridge) theatre company an organisation trying to educate teenagers about the dangers of Camorrista life through drama.
For many, the most vivid image of modern Naples is the 'garbage crisis', which left the city festering in uncollected refuse for nearly a year. We head to the suburb of Villaricca, home to Europe's largest rubbish dump, to meet local percussion band Bidonvillarik. Their musical instruments are built from rubbish to draw attention to the garbage crisis - which, they say, is far from over.
Naples is proud to have maintained its own language, and nowhere is it more alive than in its beloved local folk music, Canzone Napoletana. We meet 12-year-old Fortuna, one of the genre's hugely popular child singers, as she performs to an enraptured crowd at a birthday party in one of the narrow streets of the Forcella district.

THE VOICE OF NAPLES
ENGLISH text /ensuite en français e italiano - Viva La Musica!
Original Neapolitan songs by three living Neapolitan composers for one voice: Oscar Mancino
Witness the rebirth of the traditional Neapolitan song, for too long stuck in the groove of 'O Sole Mio'!
You have heard of Caruso
You have known Pavarotti
Now discover Oscar Mancino
"... "The Voice Of Naples", indisputable technical qualities apart, is sung with a passion that emanates from the heart. "With a great belief in the importance of interpretation, I want to transmit the pleasure of singing that is an amalgam of instinct and reason " says the baritone, " Naples continues to inspire my songs, and I have never ceased reconciling classical music with the song of the Parthenon: two schools very closely linked."
FRENCH:
"Voici Genève au Coeur d'une douce femme..." des paroles inattendues dans un CD de chansons dites 'napolitaines'?
Pas tellement quand on découvre qu'il s'agit d'un hommage du Maestro Oscar Mancino à ses fans genevois, inspiré par une ville qui est devenue la sienne.
L' artiste lyrique, et compositeur napolitain nous présente son CD "The Voice of Naples"- 12 chansons inédites de grande beauté vocale et musicale, produit par la Libero Music Publishing de Londre et enregistré à Naples.
Le Maestro Oscar Mancino a l'énergie volcanique de Naples qui coule dans ses veines. Il est un chanteur d'opéra exceptionnel, à l'ancienne, avec une étendue vocale allant du register de baryton à celui de tenor dramatique.
Un des grands interprètes de Verdi, et en particulier de
Rigoletto, il est depuis toujours passionné par la contribution Napolitaine au monde de la musique. Ses compatriots l'ont surnommé "La Voix de Naples".
Lui-même auteur, il a inspiré plusieurs compositeurs contemporains de chansons napolitaines, qui le considèrent comme le nouveau Caruso et qui lui offrent leur plus belles chansons.
Avec son CD "The Voice of Naples" Oscar Mancino fait
reviver la chanson napolitaine dans toute sa diversité et sa richesse trop longtemps cantonnée dans le sillon d'O Sole Mio!
Le CD comporte 12 magnifiques chansons inédites
napolitaines avec un titre en français "Voici Geneve",
"Musica" en italien et "Amore e lacreme", en napolitain et
en français, accompagnées par un grand orchestre
symphonique enrichi d'instruments ethniques, et chantées avec une passion qui émane du Coeur:
"J'attache beaucoup d'importance à l'interprétation et je
voudrais transmettre le plaisir de chanter aussi bien avec
l'instinct qu'avec la technique,- dit le Maestro. Naples
continue à inspirer mes chansons, et je n'ai jamais cessé de réunir la musique classique à la chanson
parthénopéenne, deux écoles très étroitement liées."
The Italian musical scene, especially great legends such as Pippo Baudo have been crying out for a rennaissance of songs in the true Italian tradition sung by artists with big expressive voices, who have a real feel for the art form. Their feet in the noble tradition, their heads in the modern world and their hearts the reservoir of the great mix. They don't just sing, they open their hearts and deliver up their soul! May the enchanted song of the mermaid continue to lure these great talents!
Mia cara Napoli, songhe nate rinte e racce toie, nu iourne cà luna e 'o sole se songhe spusate......Amore Napoli Canzone
"Comme si bella Napule...stasera, bella cchiù bella ancora nun ci si stata! E pure quanne chiagne sì à cchiù bella...
comme si bella Napule stasera!"

48 - Naples - Nov 15 - Part 2
The next morning, our guide Ilaria introduces Amanda to 'Pizza Master' Enrico, who runs a training course for local teenagers. His students are keen to learn a respected craft which can earn them a healthy, legitimate wage in a city where high unemployment makes joining the Camorra an all too attractive an option. Amanda learns the secrets of the perfect margherita the precise dimensions and ingredients of which are enshrined in EU law - and attempts to solve the mystery of why pizza making is such a macho career.
Next we take the dramatic coast road around the Bay of Naples towards Amalfi, to visit one of the terraced lemon farms that have characterised the craggy coastal landscape of the Naples region for centuries. Lifelong lemon farmer Luigi reveals the passion for his fruit that keeps him fondly tending his terraces at the age of 74, and introduces us to his protégé, 'Young Luigi'.
Finally, Ilaria and Andrea take us to the village of Montevergine for the annual festival of Tammurriata, a traditional Neapolitan style of music and dance with a huge following among young people. An earthy blend of pagan sensuality and Christian spirituality, the festival celebrates fertility, rebirth, and a successful harvest.

NAPLES
PORT EXTRA, Learn about the volcano and Naples.
Another video shot for Sun Cruises in 2001.
"Naples is different. Visitors are seduced by the elegance of the rest of Italy come to Napoli and find its stark juxtaposition of the beautiful and the grotesque either a slap in the face or, for others, a head-spinning party. Explanations as to why Naples is like this vary. It may be the effect of sitting under Mount Vesuvius, Europe's largest active volcano. It may be the mix of Greeks, Romans, Normans, Saracens, Angevins, Napoleonic French and Bourbon Spanish that went into the city of today. One way or another, history has made Naples a highly singular place." Timeout Guide

Wonderful Caserta Palace - Naples Italy
Caserta Palace - Naples , Kingdom Of Two Sicilies
Naples is noted for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,500 years old.
Founded by the Ancient Greeks as Neapolis, meaning New City, it held an important role in Magna Graecia and then as part of the Roman Republic in the central province of the Empire.
Naples was the capital city of a kingdom which bore its name from 1282 until 1816 in the form of the Kingdom of Naples, then in union with Sicily it was the capital of the Two Sicilies until the Piedmont annexation.
The construction of the Caserta Palace was begun in 1752 for Charles VII of Naples, who worked closely with his architect Luigi Vanvitelli. When Charles saw Vanvitelli's grandly-scaled model for Caserta it filled him with emotion "fit to tear his heart from his breast"
Come visit Naples and South Italy !!
There's not only garbage !!
