For:Fans of traditional/folk music, world-music listeners, students of ethnomusicology and Neapolitan culture

 The NCCP represents for the whole world the highest expression of Neapolitan musical art. A musical form that absolutely must be reevaluated and spread in the Italian and global artistic scene, to ward off the increasingly rampant invasion of neomelodic vulgarity.

 When I began to think about Cenerentola the cat, I spontaneously thought of a melodrama: a new and old melodrama at the same time as new and old are the tales at the moment they are told. A melodrama like a fairy tale where one sings to speak and one speaks to sing or like a fairy tale of a melodrama where everyone understands even what cannot be understood with words alone
