Alceste's Garden starts up again this year! Thanks to the availability of the Circles in the various hamlets and, for the first time of Villa Casagrande, it will be possible to continue the literary journey with musical accompaniment. As has become a tradition, the review will provide evening entertainment every Wednesday in July: the location will change, but not the theme, which this year will be about Dante Alighieri and La Comedia.
The event that opens the festival is Wednesday, July 1, from 9:30 p.m. at the Garden of Villa Casagrande. Accompanying us in this evening, as in the following ones, the overwhelming voice of actor Mario Pietramala and the exciting music played by Nicola Pedroni. This first rendezvous with the Divine Comedy opens with an introduction of the historical period in which the work was conceived and a presentation of the figure of Dante Alighieri. The selection of cantos (I - III - V -VI) will lead us into the "dark forest" in the company of Virgil, we will meet the torment of love of Paolo and Francesca and finally the insatiable hunger of Cerberus.
Alceste's Garden is produced and promoted by the City of Figline and Incisa Valdarno, which this year proposed Mario Pietramala to carry out his expressive reading project "Incursions into the Classics." It will be an opportunity to indulge in an emotional journey, to walk through some of the most evocative stages of Dante's journey. So hurry up, BOOK the subsequent evenings as well, call 055.9125247 or 055.9125253 (Culture Office), or email cultura@comunefiv.it. The event is free and subject to availability.
