SUMMER ’82: WHEN ZAPPA CAME TO SICILY
Documentary, Italy-Usa 80’
Directed by Salvo Cuccia (2013)
July 14, 1982. A young Sicilian doing his military serve in the north sets off on a journey to Palermo to
attend to the last concert on the European tour of the legendary Frank Zappa, the eclectic and much loved
rock star with Sicilian roots (1940-1993). An unforgettable journey, but one that culminated in a great
disappointment: the young man did not arrive in time for his idol’s concert. That young man was Salvo
Cuccia, who thirty years later picks up again the unused ticket and set out to reassemble the pieces of that
particular moment in his life. The memory of his father, who died prematurely, is intertwined with the story
of Frank’s family, that is now visiting the land of their forebears. And along with Zappa’s widow Gail, his
children Moon, Diva and Dweezil, and Massimo Bassoli, great friend and biographer of the musician, Salvo
Cuccia embarks on a journey/story made up of meetings and returns: a moving and ironic memoir. A story
made of music and families, studded with never-before-seen images of the concert in 1982, interrupted by
disturbances on the terraces and the reaction of the police, while outside fireworks and the crowd wildly
celebrated the feast day of Santa Rosalia. Thus another Italy, another America and quite another music are
brought back to life.

Salvo Cuccia, director and visual artist, combines in his eclectic experimentation video-art, fiction and new
media in documentary. Prolific author, he has made many video works, fiction short films, performances,
video-installations and documentaries. His works have been presented and screened in many International
festivals. In 2005 Martin Scorsese presented his film documentary Détour De Seta at the Tribeca Film
festival and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. His research stretches today towards the new frontiers of
augmented reality and fiction cinema.
