olph valentino a blow to the heart for those who love castellaneta and its history rudolph valentino is more than just a statue he is a symbol of identity a deep emotional connection to the land to cinema to one s roots seeing him there abandoned on a pallet covered up as best as possible is painful it s not just about aesthetics or urban decorum it s about respect for memory for art for the community that identifies with that figure those in government cannot forget that every gesture matters and that caring for symbols is caring for one s own people un colpo al cuore per chi ama castellaneta e la sua storia rodolfo valentino non è solo una statua è un simbolo identitario un legame emotivo profondo con la terra con il cinema con le radici vederlo lì abbandonato su un bancale coperto alla meno peggio fa male non si tratta solo di estetica o di decoro urbano si tratta di rispetto per la memoria per l arte per la comunità che in quella figura si riconosce chi amministra non può dimenticare che ogni gesto ha un peso e che la cura verso i simboli è la cura verso la propria gente i will continue to monitor developments as they occur sources comune di castellaneta website la

headline from viviwebtv it reads francis ford coppola a castellaneta nel museo valentino il blitz che nessuno si aspettava francis ford coppola in castellaneta in the valentino museum the blitz that no one expected according to the report coppola was waiting at the door before the saturday evening opening museum director carmelo perrone whom i had the pleasure of meeting said he was so surprised that he felt an indescribable emotion and almost i could not turn the key in the lock coppola saw the docufilm produced by the foundation in religious silence and listened to stories and anecdotes provided by the staff carmelo perrone also commented on the message coppola left in the guest book what he wrote i would like to keep it for me but this visit pays us back after years of work and many sacrifices museum director carmelo perrone left and francis ford coppola july 5 2025 and finally we let ourselves go in a long embrace carmelo perrone link to the full article source viviwebtv it i can attest to the fact that the people whom i visited and talked to for two days are truly dedicated and i was personally honored to have the president of the foundation professor ludovico antonio spend time with me i spent most of the time my first day there talking to him about the research i had done and i was extremely gratified that he thought my work was praiseworthy and like coppola i also did a blitz visit on my second day there which was just not enough to fully enjoy this beautiful museum i am especially indebted to daniela p who was my personal guide during my time at the museo item 4 valentino statue being moved the monument erected in 1961 on via roma is being moved when it was first unveiled there were protests over the funding provided by the town because residents felt the money should have gone to much needed improvements in the town follow the link to the newsreel film of the unveiling and the reuters commentary about the political aspects of the construction of this monument at the time https www britishpathe com asset 249261 when i visited late last year i had a bit of a laugh when i spotted an eni gas station in sight of the monument i figured that valentino would approve since he was so interested in tinkering with automobiles i visited at night and when i looked to the left the lights of the gas station were blazing a night time visit with the lights of the gas station to my right as you can see from the map below the statue is closer to the gas station than to valentino s birthplace the statue is closer to the eni station lower right than to the birthplace upper left the plans to move the statue involve locating it to the piazza umberto i which is close to valentino s birthplace valentino would have known this piazza which features a large fountain constructed in 1871 to celebrate the arrival of water in the town the piazza hosts many public events and live music performances it is not known at this time whether the statue will be moved in time for the centennial of valentino s death but this lively gathering place is the perfect place for the statue i believe the spirit of rudolph valentino will love seeing his memorial in its new home a place full of life and energy note translations from italian to english by google translate sources fondazione rodolfo valentino via vittorio emanuele 117 119 castellaneta ta italy
