Rai 1 broadcasts this evening in prime time the film with Massimiliano Gallo and Vanessa Scalera taken from the famous Comedy by Eduardo De Filippo🇧🇷 The two main characters, the Filumena Marturanus it’s from Domingos Soriano, were played before them by many actors in the history of theater and TV. Unforgettable are the interpretations of Sophia Loren (with Marcello Matroianni in Casamento à Italiana), Titina De Filippo in the original, Pupella Maggio. The story takes place in Naples and was filmed in the historic center. In this version (directed by Francesco Amato) the protagonist’s house is located in Piazza del Gesù (just as a tribute to De Sica’s Italian marriage), while the wedding scene it is located in the Church of Santos Severino and Sóssio.
Piazza del Gesù, a choice named after De Sica
In Francesco Amato’s film, Filumena Marurano’s house was installed in piazza del Gesù, named after Vittorio De Sica’s masterpiece. It is indeed a symbolic place of his masterpiece. The square takes its name from the church of the same name and is located along the lower Decumanus: it is the square that Sophia Loren crosses, followed by the seamstress, to reach her Domenico and marry him. The scenography of the house in Piazza del Gesù is signed by Luigi Bisceglie: crystal chandeliers, wooden furniture, very high ceilings, as was the tradition in the palaces of the historic center of Naples in the 1950s.
In Vico San Libório a mural for the real Filumena Marturano
Vico San Libório is the house where Filumena Marturano livedbetween Piazzetta Montesanto and Via Toledo. It seems that the protagonist of the film, in fact, existed and that her story is true. “Filumena Marturano was born and lived here, made famous throughout the world by Eduardo De Filippo” reads the wall made for her🇧🇷 the photo depicts Sophia Loreniconic female interpreter of Vincenzo De Sica’s Italian Wedding.
On the wall it is also possible to read some of the most famous words uttered by the character: “Do you know when they talk? chiagne”. The plaque is affixed to the iron door that was a house decades ago, today it is a warehouse.
The church of the marriage between Filumena and Domenico Soriano in via Bartolomeo Capasso
Via Santa Maria della Neve is located near the Riviera di Chiaia. This is where the end of De Sica takes place: the wedding to Don Domenico takes place right in the old church in the alley. In the film with Vanessa Scalera and Massimiliano Gallo, however, the wedding takes place in the church of Santi Severino e Sossiolocated in via Bartolommeo Capasso, next to the lower decumano.
