“La Vera Leggenda di Tony Vilar”. Slide Show with Peppe Voltarelli, Giuseppe Gagliardi, Andrea Kercoc and Tony Vilar

On November 10 Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò hosted the screening of the movie “La vera leggenda di Tony Vilar” (The Real Legend of Tony Vilar”) by director Giuseppe Gagliardi.
In the picture, the Italian singer  and actor Peppe Voltarelli travels from Argentina to the United States  in search of Toni Vilar, a singer of Sicilian origin who moved to Argentina  in his early twenties and became a very popular star. Reconstructing  the principal steps of his career and private life, Peppe learns that  Tony interrupted his career at the age of 24 for the shame of having  lost his hair. From Argentina to New York, he meets several members  (or maybe characters) of the Italian-American community, first in Buenos  Aires and then in the Bronx.
