A Great Ettore Bassi Revives 'The Fisherman Mayor' Angelo Vassallo in Bagnoregio

At Civit'Arte Winter Edition, a performance destined to evoke emotions and move: 'The Fisherman Mayor.' Featuring Ettore Bassi, who will bring the story of Angelo Vassallo to life on stage, a man who was assassinated in 2010 in an unsolved mafia-related attack.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, at 9:00 PM at the Auditorium Taborra in Bagnoregio. The show follows the storyline of the Rai TV series starring Sergio Castellitto, but Bassi's theatrical interpretation creates a more intimate and engaging exchange with the audience.

An enthralling monologue. Alongside the prominent actor, several young students will participate. Together, they will retrace the dedication of a mayor who loved his land and his duty more than himself and his family. Together, they will remember Vassallo's actions, a fisherman born into a family of fishermen, who turned the law of the sea into a law of life.

The performance is not aimed solely at the usual theater audience but is intended for everyone, with the goal of raising awareness and spreading the name of Angelo Vassallo. Starting with school students actively involved in the show, the essential and positive message of the fisherman mayor will reach everyone. The 'Robin Hood' of Cilento, who had the virtue of honesty, is brought back to life through the humility of Ettore Bassi. Because stories that remain untold are forgotten.

This performance makes you reflect on what has been achieved and what still needs to be done. As Vassallo put it, 'the difference between me and other administrators is similar to that between us and other fishermen. We all go out at three in the morning, but we are the last to return. If you work, commit yourself, and give your all, you will most likely do better than the others.'
