With Passion Turturro artistic aims to restore dignity to the Neapolitan song, too often simplistically labeled as "folk music", which has long been the most confused with all the "low culture".
Meanwhile, who is this film from the English name and last name Italian? John Turturro is the son of immigrants from Apulia, and was born in the United States in 1957.

Always interested in his Italian roots, says he wrote the screenplay and testing of a tragedy in Sicily, and then devote himself enthusiastically to Passione.Turturro spent over a year and a half listening to music recordings old and trying to understand a modern reinterpretations bit 'of the soul of Naples at the same time trying to eliminate the stereotypes concerning it, with the aim of making a film that speaks to an Italian audience, and trip over, all over the world, as it did in the past the Neapolitan song "Many the artists invited to participate in this amazing project: from Mina to open the Passion by Carmela Pino Daniele that closes with the touching Napul'è; Peppe Barra, voice of the New Society of Folk Song, offers us an evocative version of Don Fabrizio De André Raffaè Massimo Ranieri and reinterprets a piece of cult Neapolitan tradition, Malafemmena.

We enter a dimension of sound, color, fragrance, totally enraptured by this musical journey that follows decades of music and traditions. In short, a hymn to life hard to forget
