Livigno - also known as the 'Little Tibet of Europe' due to its altitude (1816 metres) - is preparing to be the stage for the third consecutive year of La Milanesiana, the event conceived and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi and one of the most interesting and important artistic and cultural events on a national and international level, which this year reaches its 25th edition.
The link between the top resort in Valtellina and the La Milanesiana event has grown more and more over the years to the point of becoming a source of pride for Livigno, which wants to enhance its territory also thanks to these initiatives that make it more and more attractive and suitable for hosting events aimed at a heterogeneous audience from all over Italy, but also from abroad.
This edition, which will start on 20 May and will visit 25 Italian cities with 72 cultural events and 150 guests, combining Literature, Music, Cinema, Science, Art, Philosophy, Theatre, Law, Economics, Sport and Comics, will address the theme "Shyness (and its antonyms)": the art of knowing how to listen and observe the world, and the worlds of others, instead of getting sucked into a whirlwind of activities and stimuli, at the risk of losing sight of what is really important. But also its opposites, histrionics and extroversion. Shyness loves peace, a chimera in a world dominated by Wars, one of the main topics of this edition.
The second main topic of the exhibition will be the relationship with Nature, and in particular with Water, which aims to recognise the power, beauty and fragility of nature.
This year Livigno will play a 'leading' role in this artistic and cultural project, hosting several unmissable events for three days:
On Friday 26 July, at 9 p.m. in Plaza Placheda, the first event will kick off with a concert by Fausto Leali, the famous Italian singer-songwriter with a 63-year musical career, 26 albums and 13 appearances at the Sanremo Festival, which will be preceded by a prologue by Aurelio Picca, writer and poet.
On Saturday 27 July, however, the appointment is at 6 p.m., again in Plaza Placheda, with the inauguration of the light sculpture La Rosa de La Milanesiana designed by Franco Battiato, a work by Marco Lodola, an event in collaboration with the Municipality of Livigno and Ciaccio Arte. The event will be attended by Remo Galli (Mayor of Livigno), Sharon Zini (Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Livigno), Elisabetta Sgarbi and Marco Lodola.
Following, at 9 p.m., there will be the second act of Rita Pavone's concert 'A foot in the past and a straight, open gaze into the future'. The naturalised Swiss Italian singer, actress and showgirl, with 27 published albums and some 55 years of musical career behind her, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the city of Sanremo on 11 February 2017 at the 67th Sanremo Festival, singing her 1963 song Cuore for the occasion.
The following day, Sunday 28 July, at 6.00 p.m. the exhibition 'FRANCO ACHILLI. Homage to the Rosa di Franco Battiato: 25 roses for 25 years of Milanesiana at the Livigno Art Domus (via Prestefan 69), in collaboration with the Municipality of Livigno, Galleria Ceribelli and Ciaccio Arte. The event will be attended by Elisabetta Sgarbi, Franco Achilli, Simone Cristicchi, Remo Galli and Sharon Zini.
At 9 p.m., however, the date is with Simone Cristicchi - winner of the Sanremo Festival in 2007 with his song "Ti regalerò una rosa" - and Amara "Torneremo Ancora. Concerto mistico per Franco Battiato", a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the deep atmospheres of the great maestro's music, as well as the closing event of all the events on the calendar dedicated to Battiato.
