Thursday 30 May, at 5.30 pm, at the Teatro del Buon Pastore there will be the presentation of the book ‘Rain for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone’, the latest work by crime writer and screenwriter Maurizio De Giovanni, who chose to return to Caserta and meet the students of the “Manzoni” high school.
This latest literary effort of his brings the “Bastardi” to Pisa and involves them in a strange investigation without motive: Leitmotif an apparently incomprehensible murder – that of a famous lawyer – which turns into a mysterious skein, difficult to untangle, in a beaten city by a rain that seems to take on a symbolic, almost cathartic value. The event, which will start with the institutional greetings of the school director Adele Vairo and the mayor of Caserta Carlo Marino, will be moderated by the journalist Maria Laura Labriola and will be enriched by a reading by the actors Antonio Bonagura and Joe Nicodemo. The meeting is also open to all citizens, upon reservation and enjoys the patronage of the Municipality of Caserta and is organized in synergy with the Rotary Club Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli”, the Inner Wheel Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli”, the Rotaract Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli”, the “Quercus Vitae” association and the BOZ-Artistic Productions Association.
But the real protagonists will be the Manzonian students, who will have the opportunity to interact with De Giovanni and confront him on issues such as justice, revenge, truth – as well as the complexity of the human soul, all themes that deeply and profoundly affect Significant Rain for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone.
“Welcoming Maurizio De Giovanni again – an internationally successful writer, but also a ‘friend’ of the Manzoni Campus – is a source of great pride for us”, stated the head teacher Adele Vairo – culture is a fundamental element for the growth of our community school and offering our students the opportunity to interact with an author of such importance is a real privilege, which enhances our daily educational commitment and enriches the educational path of our young people”.
