The theatrical production of Il Presidente, written by Davide Carnevali and starring Filippo Nigro, is scheduled for performances in late 2026. In Salerno, the Teatro Pier Paolo Pasolini announced the play would open its new prose season on November 3 and 4. Additionally, the Teatro Municipale Giuseppe Verdi scheduled a performance of ‘Din Don Down – Alla ricerca di (D)io’ for November 25. This production, part of the Musica d’Artista 2026 festival, stars Paolo Ruffini and the Mayor Von Frinzius company, which features actors with disabilities. Directed by Lamberto Giannini, the show uses comedy and improvisation to explore themes of divinity and the human condition. In Naples, Teatro Nuovo planned to inaugurate its 2026/2027 season on November 5 with the same production of Il Presidente. This version of the play, directed by Fabrizio Arcuri and Nigro, is a rewritten adaptation of a 2012 text. The drama focuses on an ex-president reflecting on the moral implications of power and the consequences of political decisions. As various Italian cities launch their 2026–2027 cultural seasons, other regional highlights include Massimiliano Gallo in “Lettera ad Eduardo” at the Teatro Orfeo in Taranto, and a new version of the operetta “La vedova allegra” at the Teatro Grandinetti in Lamezia Terme. Other regional activities include the “Bestiario Immaginato” project in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the play “262 vestiti appesi” in Santa Teresa Riva, and the “Benvenuto novembre” program in Vibo Valentia. Further developments in the 2026/2027 season include the Teatro Delle Arti in Salerno opening with “Nemici come prima,” directed by Francesco Procopio. Regional cultural activities also include the reopening of the Teatro Nino Buttafuoco in Nissoria, the return of the “L’isola che c’è” festival in Malfa, Salina, and the ihBS Movie Night in Reggio Calabria, which offers free international film screenings.
