The title is a quote from Napoli Milionaria and refers to the difficulties of the protagonist in trying to find on the black market the only medicine that will save his daughter’s life: pennecillin. The drug was discovered by Fleming in 1928. In Napoli, in 1895, Vincenzo Tiberio had published the results of the studies conducted in the well of his uncle’s house in Arzano; he had noticed that the mould protected his family from stomach/intestinal infections. Tiberio then dropped out of college to join the military. His researches went lost. This story will be presented in an exhibition itinerary.
