Nino D’Angelo
I Miei Meravigliosi Anni ’80 TOUR
Ancient Theatre, Wednesday 12th August 2026 @9:00pm
Gaetano “Nino” D’Angelo (born 1957) was born to a poor family in San Pietro a Patierno, a suburb of Naples, and dropped out of school, taking jobs like ice cream vendor and wedding singer.
He is now a musical icon of the 80s and ambassador of Neapolitan culture in the world.
Singer-songwriter, theatre and film actor, record and theatre producer, Nino D’Angelo is a multifaceted artist who has won the hearts of several generations with songs that have become true anthems. Among his most famous hits are “A’ Discoteca”, a symbol of Italian discos in the 80s, “Popcorn e Patatine”, the soundtrack of the film of the same name that tells of a carefree love, and “Maledetto Treno”, a song with intense and moving lyrics. “Napoli” is a must, recently adopted as the official anthem of the Neapolitan football team.
Don’t miss the appointment with the legend of Neapolitan song.

Iliad
when Homeric Poems meet the Sicilian Puppet Theatre
Ancient Theatre, Tuesday 11 August 2026 @ 9:30pm

The performance is part of the Taormina Arte Sicilia Foundation’s summer program.
Stage adaptation and direction by Mimmo Cuticchio
With Giacomo Cuticchio, Tania Giordano and Giuseppe Graffeo
