ORIZZONTE 2024 | Parole, immagini e musica per edificare il futuro

This year too, the Festival "ORIZZONTE – Parole, immagini e musica per edificare il futuro” offers cultural events of various kinds in the Arnaldo Pomodoro studio : special opportunities to meet the artists, intimate conversations in which the protagonists, as in a living room, tell the public less well-known aspects of their work, anecdotes and curiosities , embellished with some small live performances.

After the first exceptional event on Thursday, March 14th, featuring Ornella Vanoni, one of the leading figures in Italian music, who shared a long friendship with Maestro Arnaldo Pomodoro, the following program highlights included the pianist Alessio Nelli – who performed at the Foundation on May 18th, as part of Piano City, during the finissage of the exhibition Open Studio #2.

Following that, the international dance star Roberto Bolle will perform on November 20th, in collaboration with the Roberto Bolle Foundation, and Claudio Santamaria, one of the most beloved actors in Italian cinema, will join journalist and writer Francesca Barra on December 13th.

“I am proud and happy to carry forward this precious assignment received from Maestro Arnaldo Pomodoro and his Foundation, with whom I share values ​​and visions” says Giovanni Caccamo. “I will put myself at the service of beauty, in the construction of new opportunities for dialogue and synesthetic encounter. – Caccamo continues – In this moment of apnea it is necessary for all forms of art to come together to lead us towards a rebirth, in the awareness that the darkness always holds the precious opportunity to turn on a light.”
