Stefano Senardi:
«I am happy to continue with this event, which this year has changed its name to “Close encounters with music”, but which remains faithful to its identity and its original spirit. In fact, the confidential dialogue between songs and words continues with some of the main protagonists of Italian authorial music, maintaining that unique relationship between artists and the public that has always characterized its success. It is a project that I care a lot about, also for the personal connection with the places where it was born and developed. The objective remains to offer close, informal and content-rich meetings, capable of enhancing the Dianese area as a living space of culture and sharing at the same time.”
Entrance is free and free while seats last.
