(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 23 - Trudie Styler films a paean to Naples in her new documentary Posso Entrare? (Can I Come In?) An Ode To Naples premiering at the Rome Film Festival on Monday.
    "It's a city that is full of life, teeming, a city in chiaroscuro," she told ANSA of the work that will also have a much-awaited premiere in the southern Italian port city on Wednesday.
    Actress, cinema producer, director, activist, environmentalist, UNICEF ambassador and Italian wine producer with her husband Sting, the 69-year-old from Bromsgrove near Birmingham has had a home for years in Tuscany but decied to aim her camera elsewhere, on Naples, because "this city is magnetic, it enters inside you and you never forget it." As well as the picture-postcard panoramas, in homage to the Grand Tour, there are above all "the Neapolitans who resist, those who with their commitment and dedication choose not to leave and are trying to improve their city", which as well as its tourist charms also has a ill-deserved rap for urban blight and Mob crime.
    Styler has chosen to focus, among others, on two "heroes": Don Antono Loffredo, "who with his arms that welcome all is forging a revolution today;" and actor Francesco Di Leva "who has chosen to remain with his youngsters with the theater project Nest, another way of changing the city from within".
