Emanuela Tittocchia<\/strong>, an actress from Turin, a well-known TV celebrity<\/strong>, and a historical commentator for Mediaset and RAI broadcasts, is in love with Tot\u00f2 and the city of Naples<\/strong>. As soon as she can, even if only for a few hours, she runs away to the slopes of Vesuvius and enjoys the place’s climate<\/strong> and its people’s warmth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I feel like a Neapolitan to all intents and purposes, even if I have northern origins. I love the Neapolitan temperament; I also had the pleasure of living in Naples for four months when I played a role in the Neapolitan TV soap Un posto al sole<\/em>. If Naples calls me, I’ll run straight away. I’d like to move here permanently, ” says a beaming Emanuela.<\/p>\n

In Naples, Emanuela spends most of her time visiting the city’s picturesque spots, natural, scenic and architectural beauties. She often goes to the neighbourhood known as Rione Sanit\u00e0<\/strong> to closely explore the places where her legend, the actor Antonio De Curtis<\/strong>, aka Tot\u00f2<\/strong>, lived.<\/p>\n

“My love for Tot\u00f2 comes from long ago; I have always loved him. My mum says that ever since I was a child, I would look for him, run to the television, point at him and say:\u00a0<\/span>mamma Tot\u00f2<\/span><\/em>. It was strange for her, as we are from Turin, and no one has Neapolitan origins: mine was just an obsession. When I was 8 years old<\/strong>, I remember writing down phrases from Tot\u00f2’s films and forcing my friends to repeat them with me in the back of Mum’s shop. My passion for Tot\u00f2<\/strong> has always accompanied me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started collecting all his films<\/strong>, books about him<\/strong> and newspaper articles<\/strong> early on. Tot\u00f2 is present as he can in everything; he keeps me so much company. He is a genius,<\/strong> above everything and everyone, exceptional as an actor and a man. I grew up with him, with his philosophy and his jokes: they are inside me. I would like to do a fantastic show about him. It’s my biggest dream.<\/p>\n

I often dream about him. Once he told me: “Be a good girl and see you in Paradise<\/em>“. It was a strong emotion for me when I woke up”, she concludes. Emanuela has also recently visited the Poggioreale cemetery<\/strong> at the tomb of the legendary actor. This a visit that we recommend to all tourists coming to Naples, for many renowned men are buried here, including the tenor Enrico Caruso<\/strong>, the actors Eduardo Scarpetta<\/strong> and Nino Taranto<\/strong>, the authors Salvatore Di Giacomo<\/strong>, Libero Bovio<\/strong>, Raffaele Viviani<\/strong>, Ernesto Murolo<\/strong>, Edoardo Nicolardi<\/strong>, the philosopher Benedetto Croce<\/strong> and the sculptor Vincenzo Gemito<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
