FestivaLante second edition

A Festival that aims to raise awareness and promote the historical-artistic and natural heritage of the area through a series of events, theater, performance, dance and music, which will fit and integrate with the natural scenic space: the park, garden and fountains of Villa Lante in Bagnaia.
Scenographic minimalism and contact with the audience," they continue, "become a prerequisite for dialogue and dynamic interaction with the spectator to create a new passage: from the essentiality of the gesture to the power of the text.
The project sees the realization, after the great success of the first edition, of 4 events, which will be presented in the first week of August 2024, at the park and gardens of Villa Lante in Bagnaia (VT) with free admission and reservations required for a maximum of 200 people.

A DORSO D'ASINO on the Vulgar Ways of Humanism.
Novelist Simone Faloppa Artieri Silvia Minchillo, Ruggero Bonacina, Simone Lampis, Raúl Iaiza Dramaturgies Simone Faloppa, Raúl Iaiza Director Raúl Iaiza
A musical and theatrical action in seven stations. To share poetic wording, song action and affabulation. Between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, in Italy, a virtuoso interweaving gave birth to Humanism. The Universities, the Franciscan Laudesi, the Dolce Stil Novo. All right, what about today? Are we in another Dark Ages? Today, is there a Humanistic thought? Is it still a living, useful, present instrument? Has it been transformed?
