The “Economy and Spirituality” Festival is back: the day of the custody of creation at the villa del Palco | TV Prato

“We are experiencing a syndemia, an experience that embraces the social, economic and psychological aspects of our life, so it is necessary to take care of man in his entirety while we take care of controlling the contagion”. With this message, all focused on caring for people, starting next Sunday, the sixth edition of the Economy and Spirituality Festival whose events follow one another until in September between Capannori, Lucca and Prato. The diffused festival project was born from an idea by father Guidalberto Bormolini dei Ricostruttori and Francesco Poggiis promoted by the Associations Rebuilding Life and Theater of Verzura and is supported by the Municipalities of Capannori, Lucca and Prato.

“These are occasions in which to urge people and institutions to work in favor of a global cure for all the hardships of people and the difficulties of recent times, including environmental ones, without forgetting the importance of the spiritual dimension, which is precisely the backbone of the Festival days. We must have a lofty dream to get out of where this syndemia has precipitated us, a lofty gaze that only the spiritual perspective can give ”, underlines Father Bormolini.

It starts with three days in Capannori – from 29 to 31 August – which will have the singer-songwriter as protagonists Giovanni Caccamo, the musician Luca Madonia and the poet Davide Rondoni together with David Riondino. Organized by the Municipality of Capannori, the events are free with reservations required. “We wanted to use the language of poets and artists, and not go through reflections and reasoning only, since it is increasingly necessary to speak to the deepest part of the human soul, because it is this that responds most immediately to the call of the spiritual dimension”, underline the organizers.

Caccamo with his show Parola Tour, Saturday 29 at 9 pm, proposes a journey into “timeless beauty”, through a succession of instrumental pieces and songs, each piece will be introduced by the text that inspired it, giving life to a unique dialogue between “words and notes”.

Monday 30, always at 9 pm, appointment with La mia storia by Luca Madonia, the Denovo songwriter, also known for his friendship and closeness to Franco Battiato. A life in music through many seasons with great consistency and credibility. With Madonia, voice and guitar, there are Denis Marino, guitars and Ambra Scamarda, bass.
