With the passing of Peppino di Capri, an irreplaceable void is left in our hearts. It was a great joy and an immense honor to celebrate him, together with the President of the Recording Academy, at a prestigious gala held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
It was a journey that the legendary Peppino shared with all of us at the Istituto Capri nel Mondo, an institution we have built also thanks to the prestige of his extraordinary career. Through our international festivals, we have always placed cinema and music at the heart of a cultural dialogue capable of reaching audiences around the world.
His legacy is a priceless treasure to preserve: a shining example of how talent, artistic excellence, and authenticity can continue to inspire future generations while never losing sight of history.
Our heartfelt and affectionate embrace goes to his three children. We wish them a future filled with success and fulfillment, just as the great Peppino had always hoped—perhaps unaware of the immense and monumental artistic and human legacy he would leave to the world.
The 2026 edition of Ischia Global will open in Piazza San Girolamo with a minute of silence in honor of the legendary Peppino di Capri.
