A special event of the Libro d’Ingresso cycle of shows, which marks a further stage in the artistic collaboration between actor, director and writer David Riondino and musician Fabrizio De Rossi Re.
The show, which was scheduled as part of The Four Seasons – Spoleto Summer, will be held Thursday, September 27 at 21:30 at the Sala Pegasus. Il Dio Denaro is a national premiere, in which Riondino will tell, through a series of reflections, the curious relationship between Money and God, as it manifests itself in our time.
“The theme recently reappears in political anthems, it is evoked by popes, in short it gets around. A few years ago I happened to begin to gather clues about what seems to be the announcement of a new syncretic religion, or rather the awakening in new forms of an ancient God. If I have seen right, we would be at the beginning of an Era: in which case the data collected could be used for future exegetes, documenting the origins of the Era itself. In short, the famous problem of how the Era was. It was how it is, you could say…”.
The path of study, research, reflection and analysis that led to the writing of “The Money God” is explained by Riondino himself.
“Money redeems you, it allows you to be part of a Communitas, through it you can enter into the meanders of a sophisticated planetary culture, as through Christianity, Socialism or Islam or Buddhism. We get out of the detail, in Spoleto we are connected with those who are in Hong Kong, Singapore, New York. Faith and prayer are unique.
And this prayer is signified by the return to the houses of the Altars.
Computers-altars, through the screens of which you can gamble on the Stock Exchange. I experienced that thrill, in order to get to know it. From the small temple of my house, an Apple, I interacted with a screen of the Stock Exchange. I bought part of the Suez Canal, and made my desktop out of sand and ships. I became part of Bulgari, I saw the jewels. I shared the sand, the jewels and the Red Sea with men and women of all ages who, somewhere, were handling with me the same invisible powerful substance. It can be said that I prayed, in some way, by pressing the buy and sell button: I shared a communion, participated in a significant and universal liturgical gesture: “buy and sell”, make the invisible visible and confirm your faith in the symbol that becomes Truth, in your Bank Account. Wasn’t it a sacred gesture at that point?”

The meeting will focus on Pietro Consagra, the great Sicilian artist of whom Spoleto boasts a rich collection thanks to his friendship with Giovanni Carandente: the famous art critic invited him, in 1962, to take part in Sculture nella Città (Sculptures in the City), the exhibition later defined by Consagra as “the largest international sculpture event ever held in a city”. Through the sculptural and pictorial works preserved in the Carandente Museum, we will retrace the career of the maestro, who donated to Spoleto the work that can still be admired today in one of the streets of the historic center.
The visit will be followed by an aperitif, thanks to the collaboration with Con Spoleto – the Spoleto hotel managers’ association.

Toru Hamada and Angelo Dozio
Opening: Saturday, October 27 at 12:00
TORU HAMADA – Anthological
The exhibition is curated by Gianluca Marziani and Italo Bergantini, and organized in collaboration with Romberg Contemporanea. After the placement in June, during the Festival dei Due Mondi, of one of his sculptures in Carrara marble in front of the Teatro Nuovo, today comes a large exhibition that tells us about his poetic and inspired painting … The life of Toru Hamada resembles the processing cycle of his art. First of all, one feels the atavistic bond with Japan, ascribable to a state of being that favours atmospheric silence, the firmness of the gaze, the discipline between body and spirit. At the same time, one feels the second homeland in Europe, first in Pietrasanta and then in the French countryside of Saint-Lubin-de-la-Haye, two places of solid culture that have welcomed both the man and the artist. Asia and Europe, two continents that today sum up in this Umbrian experience, in the heart of a Spoleto that has always conceived harmony between distant worlds.
ANGELO DOZIO – The discipline of constant doubt
Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive’s historical investigation continues among Italian artists who deserve a more exhaustive evaluation of their work over ten years. After Gianfranco Chiavacci, Gastone Biggi, Salvatore Emblema and Giuseppe Biasio, it is now the turn of Angelo Dozio with an anthological exhibition set up between the white rooms of the Piano Mostre and the noble furnishings of the Piano Nobile.
The exhibition is curated by Gianluca Marziani: “Reinterpreting the cycles of a long career, Angelo Dozio highlights a consistent value in the theme of transcendence. Technological intuition, the link with town planning and architecture, the implicit presence of sound, the clairvoyance of digital language are present, but in the end there’s a metaphysical suspension that emerges and surpasses the rest, an iconographic system that returns to the lines of the sacred cross, the curves of the Greek and Roman capitals, to the Florentine two-tone marble, to the plan of churches and basilicas, to the design of ideal cities… Dozio’s geometry goes beyond history and climbs into the values of the Absolute, where only painting can get, where design incorporates morality, where Beauty thinks beyond worldly contingencies.”

XV NATIONAL URBAN TREKKING DAY
Tell me what you eat, I’ll tell you who you are. Strolling through food, art and landscapes to discover the city
Art and flavours of the ancient Duchy of Spoleto
A dive into the past, when Spoleto was the capital of the Longobard duchy (568–774), among architectural evidences, new and old landscapes, and flavours handed down across the centuries.
The hike will start from Colle Ciciano, where there are the basilica of the Holy Saviour (San Salvatore), the ecclesia baptismalis of St. Michael Archangel (inspired by the Longobard military cult) and the funerary area of St. Pontianus, from which comes Agipertus’ funerary slab.
The hike goes on toward the National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, that keeps funerary outfits coming from the oldest necropolis we know, as well as architectural features that testify to the existence of Longobard marble workshops.
Through piazza del Duomo you will reach Palazzo Pianciani, and then Palazzo Mauri, where it will be possible to taste Longobard dishes, thanks to the Istituto Alberghiero Turistico di Spoleto “G. De Carolis”.

From 9 to 13 April 2019 the prestigious International Dance Competition will also be on stage, again at Spoleto’s Teatro Nuovo “Giancarlo Menotti”.
Sorry, this entry is only available in Italiano.
Spoleto is located at the southern end of the Valle Umbra, a vast alluvial plain generated in prehistoric times by the presence of a vast lake, the lacus Umber, drained definitively in the Middle Ages, after its swamping, with recalamation. The city developed on the hill Sant’Elia, a low promontory at the foot of Monteluco, and down to the banks of the Tessino river; it is surrounded to the East by the mountains that border the Valnerina.
ROUTE
The first stage of the walk is the Sentiero degli Ulivi (Olive Groves Path), which from Eggi arrives in Poreta, crossing the hilly territory that borders, to the East, the southern Umbrian Valley. The path, created by some members of the local section of the CAI (Italian Alpine Club), was born with the intent to promote and enhance the Spoleto – Assisi olive belt, included in the national register of rural and historical landscapes of the Ministry of Agriculture, a FAO agricultural heritage of worldwide importance, and a good candidate to be listed as a UNESCO cultural site. The route, splendidly immersed in the landscape of the Umbrian Valley, winds through terraces and dry stone walls that are now abandoned and a series of small urban settlements born in Roman times to escape the progressive swamping of the Spoleto plain. Full of history, mysticism, religion, art, nature and silence, the Sentiero degli Ulivi is mostly located at altitudes ranging between 400 and 600 m above sea level, overcoming manageable gradients, which make it easily accessible to hikers with a good basic preparation.
