My Take
Eduardo De Filippo is a figure I hold in deep reverence. Born in Naples in 1900, he was an actor, playwright, director, poet, and even a politician, a genuine giant of Italian culture. His Neapolitan masterpieces Filumena Marturano and Napoli milionaria pressed the joys and sorrows of ordinary Naples straight onto the stage. What moves me most is that, even crowned with the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit, his gaze stayed fixed on the common people of the back streets. He used his immense artistic standing to honor those who had so little. As the man who carried the soul of Naples to the world, he commands my lasting respect.
