BY GIANVITO PULZONE
A SHOW THAT EVOKES SOME OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE HISTORY OF WORLD SOCCER
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2025**

On Tuesday, December 2, 2026, the engaging and exciting show “EL FÙTBOL” arrives at the Sannazaro Theater in Naples after touring various cities with great success.
The show, written by Gianvito Pulzone, benefits from the intense performance of Ettore Bassi and the beautiful direction by Francesco Branchetti. Alongside Ettore Bassi on stage are Gianvito Pulzone and Oscar Bellomo.
“EL FÙTBOL” is a show entirely dedicated to football, the spirit of the sport, and the passion that can saturate every inch of a man’s body.
At the heart of the play is a protagonist who carries on every inch of his skin, every gram of his soul, the passion and heart for football. Ettore Bassi plays a man with the purest soccer passion, evoking some of the greatest players in the history of world soccer—men for whom playing football was as natural as eating, breathing; men who made people dream and gave courage to thousands with their generosity and bravery. Even today, recalling the 'magic' of their feats gives chills. Stories and memories of yesterday and today evoke the world revolving around football, often a painful and at times exhilarating metaphor for life and society.
A story with epic traits, full of poetry and emotion, - says director Francesco Branchetti - the direction will try to return to the magnificent text the ability to evoke the spirit of football, the spirit of sport, the spirit of the game itself through enchanting atmospheres, colors, lights, sounds. Body, voice, blood, and soul of an actor who spends himself on stage until the last drop of sweat; a splendid performer for a truly moving story filled with passion and poetry. Scenes and music will give a crucial contribution to this wonderful journey, telling us of the moods and fascinating atmospheres that the world of soccer brings with it.
This is an important event where football is a metaphor for values and examples that are important to remember in this society full of conflicts and wars, where standing against the law of the strongest seems impossible, but there have been men who, with imagination and courage, triumphed and inspired others to believe there can be a world of men capable of believing and dreaming. Men who became legends but were made of flesh and blood. The oppressed, abandoned, and discriminated men and women could shout to the world of their existence through the play of these men.
