Opens its doors to the Castel dell’Ovo the show “Beware the Wolf”, dedicated to the popular character of the McKenzie farm in love with the hen Marta, created in 1974 by the imagination of Guido Silvestri, aka “Silver“. Just this year, in fact, “Lupo Alberto” celebrates its fortieth birthday and for the occasion he chose to blow out the candles in the picturesque setting of the manor of Virgil, in Naples. Yes, because, deep down, underneath it all, he also feels a bit of Naples since, as explained by the same Silver (Emilia of birth): “I feel Neapolitan”. And “since young I have always admired Eduardo, Totò, Neapolitan songs, by singing or even listening to them that, they make me so emotional”. For this reason the author has dressed Lupo Alberto “by pazzariello” to make “a great tribute to Toto”.
In Naples, Silver door original drawings, sketches and books that have yet to be done in several stages Italy. Including Milan, after the capital of Campania, to Correggio in February 2015.
