On 9/8 in Treia Lucia Tancredi will tell about “Hortus conclusus …”
The journey of the Third Festival dei Monti Azzurri continues until August 13th “Cloisters and inks of peace. Spirituality and creative thinking against all loneliness”. The presentation took place on 23 July in Ripe San Ginesio (Macerata), which also coincided with the evening of thanks to the voluntary associations present in the 15 municipalities of the Montana Union – an event enlivened by the Beatles tribute offered by the BeatBoxes -; the itinerary included the Ginesina stage on 30 July with a visit to the cloister of Sant’Agostino, and the inauguration of the monographic exhibition on the talent of Nino Ricci – who recently passed away -; then the “veiled prayer-concert”, vocal and instrumental of the cloistered Benedictine nuns held in Monte San Martino at the conventual cloister, and the voice of Mafalda Minnozzi, virtuoso of jazz, samba and bossa nova, in Sant’Angelo in Pontano. The event is organized by the Unione Montana dei Monti Azzurri, supported by the Marche Regional Council, the Marche Chamber of Commerce and Bper Banca.
On Tuesday 9 August, Lucia Tancredi, in Treia, will tell about “Hortus conclusus: tales from the cloister”. On Thursday 11/8 in Tolentino at the Abbadia di Fiastra, a conversation with prof. Stefano Papetti about the history of medieval painting in the Piceno, written on the walls of the abbeys and Gothic churches by an anonymous painter, who was perhaps a Farfense monk, whose identity we are trying to reconstruct today. On 12/8, to inaugurate the rural park, there will be a concert in Colmurano by the violinist Marco Santini, dear to Pope Francis, who after listening to him wrote to him that “the sound of the violin becomes the sound of Creation”.
The Festival closes on 13/8 with “The Goodbye party” in the “Garden of the Palazzo dei Principi” of the Abbadia di Fiastra, listening to the classical harp by Lucia Galli and a very original “Hymn to the waiting rain”. “So – says Giampiero Feliciotti, president of the Montana Monti Azzurri Union – a dense but familiar and bourgeois program, which in a difficult moment favors meeting, enjoyment and shared reflection”. The events are free and limited to the capacity of the places chosen.
So the Monti Azzurri ‘rock ‘ for the third year their territory with a Festival. This year it is “Cloisters and inks of peace”: “Does nature become a natural refuge?” Afraid, – explains Sandro Polci, artistic director of the Festival – we want the small community; a refuge that reflects the beauty of the universe and where being together, between subsidiarity and solidarity, creates a future of Peace. With this spirit we will propose pictorial, musical and natural enjoyments with some reflections in lightness to enlighten us. It is a choice made with Giampiero Feliciotti, President of the Montana Monti Azzurri Union: “Countries that shape their cultural identity in the hills, from agriculture of excellence with its sharecropping history, when the collaboration of families was decisive for harvesting and harvesting, up to the cultural and artistic excellence, also enhanced in this edition, and to the great work for the ‘Green Communities’, an instrument of future eco-sustainable wellbeing. So for us it means reflecting on beauty and the desire to ‘be and make community’ “.
