Gaetano Aronica has been announced as the new artistic director of the Regina Margherita Theatre in Racalmuto.

The new artistic director of the Regina Margherita Theater in Racalmuto, Gaetano Aronica, has been introduced. Mayor Calogero Bongiorno appointed him. The initiatives that will revitalize the theater, so dear to writer Leonardo Sciascia, were also presented. "It will be a high-quality season," Aronica reiterated during the press conference.

"This is a new challenge that excites me deeply. Coming here to Racalmuto means rediscovering the places I love, inspiring enthusiasm for a city that deserves it, in the name of Sciascia and beyond, in the name of all those who want to do something beautiful and enhance our extraordinary territory," said Gaetano Aronica. "This is a public service at the service of the citizens. There's a lot of anticipation, so in addition to seizing the opportunity, we need to unite behind the unique prospects this jewel offers. It's a challenge I relish. My love for my work," Gaetano Aronica reiterated, "is what drove me to accept this role."

I was driven by a great passion for what I do and for young people. We're starting with great ideas, we're just getting started; I'm at an age where I don't have to create for myself but for others. We'll focus on a quality season, and everything is in perspective. We're working on it, and we'll also, and especially, involve artists from our local area."

"Today is an important day for Racalmuto," Mayor Calogero Bongiorno stated, "we are closing a circle by entrusting the direction of our theater to an extraordinary figure like Gaetano Aronica. A man of great culture and a high-caliber actor, we believe the theater should open permanently and be dedicated to the purpose for which it was created: the cultural elevation of the people of Racalmuto and the surrounding area, through theatrical performances. This is the theater where Sciascia said he saw the most beautiful theater of his life. Therefore, also in homage to Leonardo Sciascia, we formally open the Regina Margherita Theater and entrust this jewel to Gaetano Aronica, confident that he will do great things. The municipality, despite its financial constraints, will always support Aronica, and we will put on a wonderful theater season with other related initiatives."
