Simone Cristicchi brings his controversial "Musical-Civil" to the Bellini Theater in Naples "Magazzino 18" on the drama of the sinkholes and the Istrian exodus
The versatile and versatile Italian singer-songwriter Simone Cristicchi brings his show to the Bellini Theater 18 warehouse, which debuted in the 2013 at the Politeama Rossetti theater in Trieste.
Contested and discussed above all by the far left, 18 warehouse he is an emotional and moved "Musical-Civil" on the drama of the sinkholes and the Istrian exodus that took place between '43 and '54.

Since the day when, two years ago, I walked through the old door of Warehouse 18, I have been haunted by the awkward silence I breathed in there, among the household goods of the exiles fleeing Yugoslavia since 1947. The exodus of Italians erased from history. Or the almost unknown story of the so-called "remaining", who made the opposite choice. The invasion war wanted by fascism. Then, the sinkholes and the Vergarolla massacre, the most serious ever in Italy. Little Marinella Filippaz, who died of cold in the Padriciano refugee camp in 1956.
