''Il sindaco del Rione Sanità'' ("The Mayor of Rione Sanità") is a play in three acts by Neapolitan screenwriter and actor Eduardo De Filippo. It was written in 1960 and first presented on stage that same year by Eduardo himself, at the Quirino theatre in Rome. The play is set in Rione Sanità, a well known, degraded neighborhood in Naples. Eduardo commented on the plot saying that it was inspired from a real-life story, and specifically from some "Campoluongo", a forniture-maker who lived in Rione Sanità and was respected by the population as a local authority (i.e., a sort of "Mayor"). Campoluongo was in fact a friend of Eduardo, as well as of a number of other Neapolitan actors, including Totò and Nino Taranto, who reportedly benefited from the "protection" of Campoluongo when filming in Naples.〔(Il sindaco del Rione Sanità )〕 In the play, this character is named "Barracano". Eduardo himself used to play this role on stage. ==Reception and discussion== ''Il sindaco del Rione Sanità'' was acclaimed by both the audience and the critics,〔(Il sindaco del rione Sanità ) at Rai1〕 while raising much controversy for its unusual ethical perspective. The main character Barracano is in fact depicted both as a criminal (for example, he doesn't hesitate to threaten of death another character) and as sincerely committed to applying justice. Some critics have thus interpreted Barracano as essentially a Camorra boss〔See for example L. Codignola, ''Il teatro della guerra fredda'', Università di Urbino, Urbino 1969, pp. 78-80〕 or a "Godfather", and have expressed perplexity over the amibiguous representation of this character as "good". Others have noted that a correct interpretation of the character must take into account Eduardo's pessimistic view on the Italian and Neapolitan judicial system and society, as well as the wide differences between the Neapolitan society described by Eduardo and that of modern Camorra. Barracano moral system is not in direct contrast with the law ''per se''; rather, he is driven by the belief that while, in theory, "the law is meant for good", nevertheless in practice "men eat each other",〔"La legge è fatta bene; sono gli uomini che si mangiano tra loro". E. De Filippo, ''Cantata dei giorni dispari''〕 and the poor and downtrodden are doomed to be mistreated, rather than protected, by the judicial system.〔R. Tian, ''Il Sindaco del Rione Sanità'', il Messaggero, 8 febbraio 1973〕 For what concerns the identification of Barracano's alternative moral system with the Camorra honor code, Eduardo denied that Campoluongo/Barracano was a Camorrist; he was rather a ''Mammasantissima'', i.e., someone who lived outside legality (a ''guappo'') but that the people would call for to be protected from unjustice.〔(Il guappo )〕〔The differences between ''guapperia'' and Camorra are described in more detail by Carlo Giuffré in his presentation of his version of ''Il sindaco di Rione Sanità'' (see (this review ))〕
