Camels and thematic decorations based on pastilles, maruzzelle and bullfighters, obviously recalling all the most famous songs of the famous Neapolitan artist, decorated in an original way the large structure in the center of which Carosone was depicted and at the top of which was placed a bright treble clef.

“It is the first big event dedicated to Renato Carosone – said Simioli to the microphones of” The morning “- which was born on January 3, 1920 and, therefore, the 100th anniversary of his birth will be celebrated shortly. I hope that these private initiatives but open to the city they can follow those of the institutions for this great Neapolitan artist in the hearts of all “.

At the end of the event, a mega celebratory cake studded with cream puffs was served, always rigorously in the shape of a Christmas tree, framed with a coffee in a surprising extra large format mocha.
