As a matter of fact, I bought a guitar in New York and I had to wait for three months to get that Gibson SG that he used to play. This musical discovery has been crucial for me, because it taught me so many things I ignored at the time and that eventually helped me become the film-maker I am today. I\u2019ve worked with music a lot, and Frank Zapppa\u2019s lesson is essential to listen to all music genres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the trait you like most of his music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The irony of his lyrics that work as counterpoint to more serious compositions. The way he managed to fit in desecrating lyrics, that were extremely amusing and that he used to mock the American media, to fight is civil battle against censorship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did \u2018Summer 82: When Zappa came to Sicily\u2019 come to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a very particular moment of my life, my father suddenly became ill and this determined a transition in my life, since he died soon after our trip. During his sickness Zappa was on tour in Italy and I was on military service in Pordenone, but I decided I wanted to attend the concert in my city, on the day of my birthday. Unfortunately I didn\u2019t make it in time, but I took this long road trip with my dad, that turned out to be a very spiritual journey for us, since we recuperated our father and son relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the documentary, your personal story runs in parallel to Frank\u2019s concert in Sicily\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That was a sort of counterpoint too, with some melodramatic flair, but Zappa lightens up the heart-rending journey I had with my father.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the making of the movie how was it to spend time with the \u201cZappas?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fantastic! His children are wonderful. I met his son Dweezil for the first time in Naples, he had a concert \u2018Zappa plays Zappa\u2019 and then he started to play, his face changed into something heavenly, as he played his father\u2019s music. After that I also got to meet Frank\u2019s daughters Diva and Moon Unit and his wife Gail. While shooting the documentary I took Dweezil in a recording studio and I gave him a fender and we jammed a little. He vents his emotion through music. I used some of the pieces we recorded in Partinico for the documentary\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was Frank\u2019s perception of Italy as opposed to the one of his family?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frank describes his impressions of Partinico in the documentary, he registered reality in a very truthful manner, with its pros and cons. He had the ability of giving a very sensitive and deep response of what he saw. As for his family, his children in particular have been very affected by this experience. Some episodes in Italy, have made them discover their origins and will mark them forever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frank Zappa\u2019s Man from Utopia came from Italy\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is key to Frank Zappa\u2019s beliefs. His father had bequeathed him the idea that everything started from Sicily, culture, art. And Frank he always carried this thought with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it easier to see the beauties of Italy from afar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This occurs to me when I\u2019m invited to American universities: I fall in love once again with my home country. But it\u2019s always important to have a strong sense of reality, as Gail said in the documentary: to put together contrasting materials. That\u2019s what life is about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salvo-Cuccia-on-Frank-Zappa-Documentary.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salvo-Cuccia-on-Frank-Zappa-Documentary.jpg\" alt=\"Frank Zappa\" title=\"Frank Zappa\" width=\"520\" height=\"497\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salvo-Cuccia-on-Frank-Zappa-Documentary.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salvo-Cuccia-on-Frank-Zappa-Documentary-300x286.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Summer 82: When Zappa came to Sicily\u2019 is a moving documentary by Salvo Cuccia that intertwines Frank Zappa\u2019s Sicilian concert with the director\u2019s personal and spiritual journey.
