What we are living through is a particularly difficult year for everyone, and therefore also for those who work in the world of culture. Without wishing to flaunt blind optimism, I believe that the crisis offers us not a few opportunities, not the least of which is to reaffirm, particularly in our country, the role of the Artist in society: Theater, music, and art must once again become a point of reference and reflection on man, his identity and his future.

We really want to change things, and that is why we have made Albert Einstein’s words our own: we accepted the challenge and managed to present an even richer Festival (as many as 16 shows in more than two weeks of programming), even more spread throughout the territory (with the entry of three new municipal administrations), with a massive involvement of regional artists, the staging of numerous themes related to local culture, the artistic training of young people with a theater-music workshop, and the promotion of the territory and its products.

It is a source of great satisfaction to see how the Festival is slowly becoming part of the territory that makes it possible, around an organic project that gathers and stimulates its cultural offerings. This is our only goal: to become an expression of the great cultural potential of our region so that people can feel stimulated and enriched in their identity through comparison with other national and international realities. To the audiences, artists, sponsors and institutions who support us, the media and all those who collaborate to make the Festival possible: thank you for your help and your Passion in following and supporting us.
