Minister Sangiuliano: “United for the composer’s villa which is collective memory”
Of Nat-Fe.
There is also a Neapolitan stage in the “Viva Verdi” program presented yesterday in Rome by culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano. The program of extraordinary events for the acquisition and enhancement of the composer’s house-museum in Sant’Agata di Villanova sull’Arda includes a concert at the Teatro di San Carlo on May 7 in which the Massimo orchestra will be directed by Giacomo Sagripanti and the soprano Anna Pirozzi and the tenor Freddie De Tommaso will be entrusted with the execution of the most important and well-known areas of the great composer.
“I am proud of the extraordinary response of Italian theaters – said Sangiuliano – to the appeal launched last November 23 on the occasion of the visit made to Villa Verdi: in just over two months, an intense Verdi program came to life to support the acquisition to the State patrimony of an identity asset of great value”. And then: «Thanks to Rai, this virtuous commitment will have the right space in the public service schedule, making the mobilization to achieve a priority objective even more important: acquiring a place strongly linked to national identity for the public heritage. Villa Verdi is not just a physical place, but it is a place of collective memory, of all Italians. Because Giuseppe Verdi is not only an extraordinary composer who is celebrated daily with his success, but he was also a protagonist of the Italian Risorgimento, together with Mazzini, Garibaldi and Cavour. Gianbattista Vico would have defined it as a place of the same common feeling. An important element of the national identity which it is the duty of the Republic to honor».
“The lyric-symphonic foundations – added the undersecretary Gianmarco Mazzi – have been able to better grasp the importance of this initiative, capable of gathering the best energies to ensure the memory of one of the greatest Italian composers”.
