On the occasion of the inauguration of the exhibition entitled From Rebibbia to Kobane, Zerocalcare, the famous Italian cartoonist was in Lyon and right here he was interviewed by Off-screen radio, or the Italian radio of Lyon.
In this long chat, the artist addressed various themes, among which he also spoke about its relationship with our city, Napoli and with its citizens. Let's see his words.
The words of Zerocalcare on the city of Naples
In this long interview that the artist Zerocalcare, pseudonym of Michele Rech, he granted to the microphones of Radio Fuori Campo, he was asked "But as a Roman, what do you think of Naples and the Neapolitans? ", the artist immediately replied saying "I like Naples a bang, as a city”And then explains the reason by saying that Naples is an open and inclusive city. A city that the artist likes so much but that would not change with Rome. In fact, he would never give up his Rome for any city.
Di Napoli also greatly appreciates the fact that it is a city where "the Nazis have never succeeded in affirming themselves”And considers it an enormous merit also because it is always open and inclusive with all. Despite there are "distortions", he continues ", Napoli has managed to create antibodies, a bit like their Roma did.
Just in Naples, the artist, a few months ago presented his work entitled Strati in which we talk about the death of Ugo Russo, the 17-year-old boy killed while robbing a policeman in civilian clothes. This experience, as he stated, allowed him to talk to many Neapolitans and to know a piece of the city unknown to him.
