Carlo Buccirosso's 'La rottamazione di un italiano perbene' at Teatro Rendano

Carlo Buccirosso's updated play 'La rottamazione di un italiano perbene' (a revision of 'Il miracolo di Don Ciccillo') was performed at Teatro Comunale Alfonso Rendano in Cosenza on February 29 and March 1, 2020, as part of the L'Altro Teatro season. The comedy, written, directed, and starring Buccirosso, follows restaurateur Alberto Pisapia's struggle against financial ruin and Equitalia, blending Neapolitan theatrical tradition with social satire. The cast includes Donatella De Felice, Elvira Zangone, Giordano Bassetti, Tilde De Spirito, Davide Marotta, Fiorella Zullo, Peppe Miale, Matteo Tugnoli, and Gino Monteleone. Set design by Gilda Cerullo and Renato Lori, costumes by Zaira de Vincentiis, lighting by Francesco Adinolfi, and music by Paolo Petrella. Produced by Ente Teatro Cronaca Vesuvioteatro, the play debuted November 20, 2019, in Sant'Arpino (CE) and tours Italy. The Cosenza show was the ninth event in a prose and music season curated by Enzo Noce, Giuseppe Citrigno, and Gianluigi Fabiano, funded by Regione Calabria. Buccirosso, a David di Donatello winner (2015, 'Noi e la Giulia'), criticized smartphone use by audiences. The article also notes Cosenza's reduced cultural offerings, with the Acquario theater inactive and the University of Calabria's Auditorium season paused since December.
