SCEGLI ORA The documentary “Ho detto tutto, forse. Mimì alla Ferrovia. 80 anni e oltre” was premiered on Sunday, June 1st, at CasaCinema in Naples. This 25-minute short film is dedicated to the famous restaurant founded in 1943, which has become one of the excellences of Neapolitan cuisine. Directed by Giuseppe Di Vaio, with a soundtrack by Artlist.com and a special appearance by Luciano Scialdone with “Song Je Mimi,” the documentary is an emotional and cultural journey intertwined with voices, archival images, and stories of the protagonists. At the center is the Giugliano family, guardians of the tradition and soul of the establishment, as well as familiar faces and longtime patrons who have crossed the restaurant like a threshold between past and present. The screening took place at CasaCinema, a new cultural and cinematic space created by Lorenza and Carlo Stella to foster a place of gathering and dialogue, where one can watch original language films, classics, documentaries, and participate in meetings with authors, debates, and cultural events. Founded in the heart of Naples in 1943 by Emilio and Ida Giugliano, grandparents of the current generation, Mimì alla Ferrovia was born in the difficult years of the war as a small trattoria opposite the Central Station. From the start, however, it stood out for its warm hospitality and excellence in Neapolitan cuisine, earning the trust of travelers, intellectuals, politicians, and artists, and becoming a cultural reference point in the city. During the debate moderated by Federico Vacalebre, journalist and head of Culture and Entertainment at Il Mattino, director Giuseppe Di Vaio and members of the Giugliano family—Michele Giugliano Senior, Michele Giugliano Junior, Salvatore Giugliano (chef), and Ida Giugliano (hospitality and communication)—participated. “This is not just a restaurant; it’s our story. Every dish, every person sitting at these tables has left an imprint. The film also tells this: what it means to carry on an identity, day by day, without ever ceasing to evolve,” said Salvatore Giugliano, the restaurant’s chef. Michele Giugliano Senior, at the helm of the management for over 80 years, added: “For us, it was important to capture these eighty years in a narrative that was sincere, honest, affectionate. Without nostalgia, but with profound respect for everything that Mimì represents for Naples.” Michele Giugliano Junior also spoke, recalling the days of the foundation and the legacy passed down: “From my father, we learned respect for work, for people, and for Naples. This film is an act of love towards all of this.” Concluding was the daughter, Ida Giugliano. “We opened the doors of our home, and this film made us feel even more united. Because Mimì alla Ferrovia is family, above all.” Also present at the presentation was Corrado Ferlaino, historic president of Napoli, a friend of the Giugliano family, and a significant figure for the city. The documentary, in festival distribution and soon available to the public, is part of the celebrations for the 80 years of Mimì alla Ferrovia, which between 2023 and 2025 has seen events, celebratory menus, and cultural meetings in the spirit of Neapolitan gastronomic memory.
