" To Remember and Understand"

In the mid 1960's I had the great fortune to become associated with a theatre group largely sponsored by Chiesa Madre di Canicattini. I say fortunate because my talents paled in comparison to some of the really outstanding and creatives leaders of this group: Pippo Zocco, Pippo Lombardo, Michele Mozzicato, Corrado Aliano, Pippo Contarini! What these leaders accomplished given the extremely limited resources was truly outstanding.
I am selecting this picture first because it is the most complete of the entire troupe! My apologies to those whose names I do not remember!
