We extend our sincere thanks to Marie Palladino and our friends at the Italian American Museum in Little Italy for their warm hospitality.

It was a pleasure to visit alongside Patrizio Buanne and enjoy a thoughtful tour, along with a special preview of the forthcoming exhibition Totò and His Naples, on view from April 16th through August 29th.

Known formally as Totò, he remains one of Italy’s most beloved cultural figures—a master of comedy, theater, and film, as well as a gifted poet, whose work captured the spirit, humor, and soul of Naples.

We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to seeing this landmark exhibition shared with the public.
