Raffaele La Capria, Maraini: “Witness of the most beautiful Naples”

“I feel immense pain for the death of Raffaele La Capria: he was a delightful man, an exquisite person, as well as an original and refined writer. I remember him as a man of high thoughts”. Thus at the Adnkronos the writer Dacia Maraini mourns “a dear longtime friend”. “Raffaele was a serene, cheerful man who gave his best in the relationship with others – she adds Maraini – he always knew how to establish a good relationship with friends, with whom he was extraordinarily generous”. “He was a man who loved the sea very much – underlines the great writer – and above all he loved his Naples, the city that had given him birth and that he had never forgotten. Raffaele was the witness of the most beautiful Naples, the international one, creative, surprising “. On the day of his death, Dacia Maraini wanted to remember “a beautiful holiday in Amalfi” with Alberto Moravia, Raffaele La Capria and his wife Ilaria Occhini: “We rented the house of director Roberto Rossellini and spent happy, beautiful days, full of a friendship never forgotten “.
