In the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Nettuno, the show "La Cicatrice" by the Cultural Association Fare Teatro was performed, with texts and direction by Marco Nica, as part of the events organized for the 81st anniversary of the Allied Landing. The audience present experienced for the very first time the transformation of that institutional space into a small and welcoming theater, thanks to some thoughtful adjustments. It was a journey between 1943 and 1944, telling that period in a different way by making the landing, along with the subsequent liberation, the endpoint rather than the starting point of the narrative. The testimony of Anna Retrosi from Nettuno served as an example to capture a snapshot of what it meant to live in Nettuno during those terrible days. There are six protagonists on stage, dressed in period costumes, accompanied by evocative musical notes. British journalist Clare Hollingworth from the Daily Telegraph, portrayed by Silvia Maltese, proud of having scooped the start of World War II, now finds herself chronicling the story of young Anna Retrosi from Nettuno during the conflict. "The Scar," the touching tale featuring Marco Nica as the narrator/son and Simona Mancini as the mother, retraces the terrible experiences of the woman. One of the most dramatic consequences of that sad historical period was undoubtedly the tragedy of the Holocaust, a poem brought to the stage by Debora Radano with great emotional intensity. There is also room for a second narrator of those events, war nurse Morena Mastropietro, who introduces the soldier Roberto Lucci, who describes the absurdities of war through the poem "a Guera" in Roman dialect. The show concludes with Marco Nica as a hopeful young man from Nettuno, who, after the liberation of Rome by the Anglo-Americans, finally returns to dream of a future through the sweet, epic-toned poem "Dipinta tra il blu," a heartfelt tribute to the City of Nettuno. Before the applause, director Marco Nica dedicated a monologue to the audience in memory of his mother and all those who lose a loved one. It was an intimate, heartfelt, and intense performance that reignited collective memory of those sad episodes that have marked humanity. A way to try to send a message of peace in a world where wars continue to rage, with the hope that, remembering the mistakes made in the past, we may never find ourselves in similar situations again.
