"Fu cacciato di casa all'età di nove anni e la sua unica scuola fu il marciapiede. Per le strade della Roma bene guadagnava poco più di centocinquanta lire e girava spesso con Parise, Moravia, Laura Betti e Pasolini pur non sapendo chi diavolo fossero. È stata la musa della scandalosa pittrice esistenzialista Novella Parigini, ha conosciuto Fellini, ma anche il carcere, la discriminazione, la guerra del '45 e la fame vera. Oggi Carmelo Cosma alias la Tarantina, l'ultimo 'femminiello' rimasto, ha 83 anni, vive di pensione minima e di 'tombole scostumate'. Dice:- Napoli è da sempre la città che accoglie tutti. È rimasta uguale negli anni. Colorata, calda, viva, ma soprattutto umana. Nelle altre città ho visto e vissuto il distacco, cosa che a Napoli non è mai accaduta." A. P.

I come back to this revised photo now. I also had my Taranto, it was in the 60s, a blonde and peppery girl of 14 years. What a beautiful year! And then the characters of cultural depth that you have named.
Thank you And yetoffia, you made me resurface good memories!
Hello
Good day
