Mario Merola (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaːrjo ˈmɛːrola]; 6 April 1934 – 12 November 2006) was an Italian singer and actor, best known for revitalizing the traditional Neapolitan melodrama known as the sceneggiata. Nicknamed "the King of the sceneggiata" (il Re della sceneggiata), he brought this regional genre unprecedented national popularity and success, turning it into a film genre.[1]

Career

Mario Merola's first public performance occurred by chance while he was working as a longshoreman at the Port of Naples. Attending a celebration of the Virgin Mary at the nearby church of Sant'Anna alle Paludi while on lunch break, the scheduled singer, Mario Trevi, was 10 minutes late. At the encouragement of his colleagues, Merola sang during this delay to immediate acclaim.[2]

In 1964, he made his debut at the Festival of Naples with the song Doce è 'o silenzio (Sweet is the silence), coupled with Elsa Quarta. The next year he would perform T'aspetto a maggio (I'll wait for you in May) with Achille Togliani and Tu stasera si Pusilleco (You are Posillipo tonight) with Enzo Del Forno. In 1966, he continued his participation in the Festival of Naples with the songs and Femmene e tammorre (Women and drums) and Ciento catene (One hundred chains), in 1967 Allegretto ma non troppo (Happy but not too much), in 1968 Cchiù forte 'e me (Stronger than me) and Comm'a 'nu sciummo (Like a river) in 1969 with 'O masto (The master), Ciente appuntamente (One hundred appointments), of which he composed the music, and Abbracciame (Hug me), and in 1970 with 'Nnammurato 'e te! (In love with you!) and Chitarra rossa (Red guitar). After the interruption of the Festival in 1971, he would only return 2001, performing with his son Francesco the song L'urdemo emigrante (The last emigrant) and winning, coming to a total of eight participations.[3]

In the 1970s, he went to the White House as the representative of the classic Neapolitan song, and there he sang for an hour.[4]

He recorded approximately 40 records of sceneggiata music and has extensive credits in filmed versions of this Neapolitan form, newer ones as well as "classical" works from earlier in the 20th century. He toured abroad with a Neapolitan company to bring the sceneggiata to emigrant Italian communities elsewhere.

Merola was also a talent scout, contributing to the initial popularity of the young Massimo Ranieri, Nino D'Angelo, and Gigi D'Alessio, among others.[5]

On the occasion of the Sanremo Music Festival 1994, along with Nilla Pizzi, Wess, Wilma Goich, Manuela Villa, Tony Santagata, Jimmy Fontana, Gianni Nazzaro, Lando Fiorini, Rosanna Fratello and Giuseppe Cionfoli, he formed "Team Italy", a group participating with the song Una vecchia canzone italiana (An old Italian song). The group would record an album with the same name, featuring an additional 11 tracks sung individually by each member; Merola's track was Acqua salata blu (Blue salt water).[6]

Personal life and death

With the proceeds of the first vocal performances, Merola managed to marry Rosa Serrapiglia, on 5 April 1964, with whom he had three children: Roberto (an organizer of musical events), Loredana (a housewife) and Francesco (also a singer), who in later years accompanied the father on numerous occasions, among them the performance at the Festival of Naples in 2001, where they won the first prize with the song L'urdemo emigrante (The last emigrant).[7]

In 1997, Merola fell into a drug-induced coma when he was hospitalized for three weeks at the Vecchio Pellegrini Hospital of Naples for a cardio-respiratory crisis. He then recovered.[8]

On 26 November 2005, Mario Merola was appointed Knight of Malta, together with Bruno Venturini and Mario Trevi.[9]

Mario Merola's gravestone in Naples, Italy

He died on 12 November 2006, aged 72, after having been in intensive care in San Leonardo hospital in Castellammare di Stabia, with breathing difficulties.[10] The funeral took place on November 14, in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine Maggiore in Naples – the same one where Merola was married and where the funeral of Totò was celebrated in 1967. The funeral was attended by political authorities, colleagues and, in the square outside the church, some 40,000 people. At least half of the people followed the coffin in procession to the Monumental Cemetery of Naples, where the artist is buried.[11]

Legacy

During the Sanremo Festival 2000, Bono Vox of U2, who was performing the song The Ground Beneath her Feet, fell into the pit and came across Mario Merola: he paid homage with a bow, while the Neapolitan singer applauded him.[12]

In 2004, Hugo Race published The Merola Matrix, an album of 16 songs in which Race used excerpts from some of Merola's old songs and movie scenes.[13]

In 2008, the restaurant-museum Felicissima sera (Very happy evening) opened in Naples, dedicated to his memory. The venue is filled with photos, objects, records, posters, costumes, letters, covers and newspaper headlines of the singer. The idea behind was from his children Roberto and Francesco and others, with the collaboration of designer Nadia Wanderlingh. Among the photos that portray Merola there are those with Diego Armando Maradona, Mike Bongiorno, Franco Franchi, Ornella Muti, Johnny Dorelli, Vittorio Gassman and Adriano Celentano. In the room there is also a letter written by Eduardo De Filippo to Merola dated 29 October 1976.[14]

In 2009, in the district Sant'Anna alle Paludi in Naples, a commemorative plaque bust of Merola was erected. The plaque was created by sculptor Dominico Sepe, and reads: "Mario Merola, ambassador of Neapolitan songs in the world".[15][16]

On 18 September 2010, the first memorial musical event for Mario Merola was held at the Stadio San Ciro in Portici, and saw the participation of, among others: Francesco Merola, Tullio de Piscopo, Sal Da Vinci, Gigi Finizio, Gianni Fiorellino, Mario Da Vinci, Valentina Stella, Gloriana and Gigi D'Alessio.[17]
