Bagni di Lucca: The great Neapolitan comedy banishes bad luck from the Accademia.
The "Sipari di Comunità" festival celebrates Peppino De Filippo.
The sixth event of the theater season in Bagni di Lucca promises to be a rollercoaster ride. On Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM, the Teatro Accademico will raise its curtain on "It's Not True But I Believe It," Peppino De Filippo 's immortal masterpiece. The event is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Municipality and FITA Lucca, confirming the theater as the beating heart of social life in the Media Valle del Serchio.
An exceptional cast of well-known faces and Neapolitan tradition
This classic will be staged by the Compagnia Partenopea, under the attentive direction of Giovanni Cuomo. There is great anticipation for the performance of the lead actor, Dr. Filippo Cascini, a highly respected ultrasound specialist in the Lucca area, who will play the tormented Commendatore Gervasio Savastano.
Alongside him, a close-knit cast will bring to life the paradoxical story of a Neapolitan industrialist enslaved by superstition, whose life is turned upside down by the encounter with a young employee who apparently brings good luck.
Reflecting with a Smile: The Social Value of Theatre
Councilor for Culture, Priscilla Valentino, emphasized how this traditional Neapolitan show can vividly reflect on current issues such as the manias and influences that shape our daily lives. The Sipari di Comunità festival confirms its position as a quality project that highlights local excellence and offers high-quality entertainment at affordable prices.
