NAPLES, 01 JUL – The ‘Festival of the suburbs’, a free event dedicated to bands under 35, is starting at Masseria Ferraioli in Afragola (NA) on 4, 5 and 6 July. In the property confiscated from the Camorra, exhibitions and live music will alternate with concerts by A Smile From Godzilla, Little Pieces of Marmelade, La Municipàl, Fran, The Devils and Thru Collected. Also planned are impromptu performances of graphic and visual arts, exhibitions, in-depth workshops on the recording and artistic sectors, moments of meetings and discussions in a real multidisciplinary festival with the artistic direction of the 24 Grana musician Giuseppe Fontanella. The event is organized as part of the “Per Chi Crea” program, supported by MiC and SIAE, and follows the last two editions of the Scampia Music Fest. The Festival of the Suburbs is also made possible thanks to the Libera association and Amnesty International. The choice of location is not random. The Masseria, in via Enrico Berlinguer, is the largest confiscated asset in the metropolitan area of Naples.
