Circeo

The compositions on this CD mark the final forays of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco into expansive works crafted for concert guitarists, bound together by a cohesive concept and a consistent unity of inspiration. Most importantly, they stand as the ultimate pieces for solo guitar that the Italian composer managed to fully complete. “Appunti” op. 210, his final composition for solo guitar, commissioned by Ruggero Chiesa, remain unfinished, albeit of notable merit: Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s death precluded their completion, with just the initial two notebooks fulfilled. Moreover, these notebooks were expressly designed for a student audience, since they are characterised by their approachability and mechanical simplicity.

1975. Roma e l'Italia intera sono sconvolte dalla notizia di un crimine talmente efferato da essere inconcepibile. In un piccolo comune della provincia di Latina, tre giovani di buona famiglia hanno rapito e torturato per un giorno e una notte due ragazze, uccidendone una e causando gravi ferite all'altra prima di essere arrestati. Chi sono questi tre aguzzini, e come sono potuti arrivare a commettere un atto così crudele? La verità ha le sue radici nella tormentata vita sociale degli anni Settanta, in cui il culto della violenza e l'ideologia neofascista allungano i loro tentacoli anche negli ambienti più insospettabili… Massimo Lugli e Antonio Del Greco ripercorrono i traumatici eventi del massacro del Circeo, raccontando i pregressi dei colpevoli, lo svolgersi dei fatti e le conseguenze di uno dei crimini più tristemente celebri della storia italiana.

«Angelo Izzo scrive. Oggi ha 67 anni, è entrato in carcere a 20 per scontare il primo ergastolo, quello per il massacro del Circeo, e in cella sta ancora scontando la condanna al secondo ergastolo, per il delitto di Ferrazzano. Una vita recluso, ingabbiato, tra penitenziari, speciali e non, di mezza Italia. E a un certo punto inizia a scrivere. Ha una smania incontenibile di raccontarsi, raccontare la sua verità, per rendere quasi epica la sua immagine al lettore, per montare l’aura di un male a suo dire inevitabile. Pagine del tutto inedite, quasi incredibili da leggere. Questo libro nasce “grazie” a quelle pagine. Alla testimonianza, dura, durissima, che troverete in quelle pagine..
