Christmas in Naples is also symbolized by the masterpieces of Eduardo De Filippo. Shortly before Christmas, the film adaptation of the play "Filumena Marturano”. The film will be broadcast on Tuesday 20 December 2022 on Rai1 at 21:20.
The representation arrived, in another key, on the small screen also in 1964, with Italian wedding where Filumena Marturano was Sofia Loren. The protagonist of the new film, however, will be played by Vanessa Scalera, while Massimiliano Gallo he will step into the role of Domenico Soriano.
In the cast, as Riccardo, also present another actor who is conquering the small screen, we are talking about Massimiliano Caiazzo the co-protagonist of the Italian fiction Sea Out, filmed in Naples. Among the other important names we find Nunzia Schiano, Marcello Romolo, Francesco Russo, Giovanni Scotti.
La Scalera, in the role of Filumena Marturano, has declared at Ansa:
A little bit of fear I confess at first I had it, but as soon as I got on set I thought I shouldn't think about the others filumena, I would have interpreted mine. Then I hope in the future many young actresses will continue to try their hand at this enterprise, Eduardo is immortal.
Without Maximilian Gallo, my Filumena would surely have been different. She is the best Soriano that I could wait, he helped me and dragged me in Napoli, is a great actor, with the pauses and the looks.
