Sonic Resistance Practices - VENA - Radio Alhara راديو الحارة

Camilla Salvatore's show “Bammenella”, inspired by the idea of ​​a radio drama, explores the relationship between Naples, herself, and some of her friends and collaborators. Blending dialogues, vernacular and pop Neapolitan music across various genres and eras, soundtracks from her films, dramaturgy and recordings collected between 2018 and 2025—including voice notes and lo-fi field recordings from her phone—the mix unfolds as an intricate collage of emotional states, contradictions, self-examinations on love and life, and oneiric, non-linear explorations of the city. 

The title of the mix, which literally means “little girl” in Neapolitan, is derived from the song So' Bammenella 'e copp' 'e Quartiere (1912) by author and playwright Raffaele Viviani. The show features several genres, including Canzone Napoletana, 70s and 80s Neapolitan disco, Neomelodico, ballads by singer-songwriters, tape and ambient music, and early 2000s Neapolitan rap. The mix also includes intimate audio contributions from Angela De Stefano, Ciro Riccio, Davide Luigi Di Lorenzo, Germana Frattini, and Vanessa Esposito, listed in alphabetical order.

Camilla Salvatore, born in Pompeii, Naples, Italy, is a filmmaker whose work intricately weaves personal narratives with broader social themes. Raised in the Vesuvian area, she pursued a bachelor’s degree in Painting and Visual Arts at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan before completing a Master’s in Artists’ Film and Moving Image at Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2020. 

She recently released her latest film, Il Capitone (2024). Set in Napoli, Il Capitone offers a glimpse into the daily life of Vanessa, portraying the struggle to claim her place in the world. Vanessa’s coming-of-age story runs through mundane and dreamlike states, sensual dances and songs of salvation. Il Capitone touches the depths of her existence—as well as that of her mother Lina and her lifelong friend Ciro— celebrating their quest for redemption through self-expression and performing arts.
