On the occasion of the 2017 World Environment Day, UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) has proposed to cast green light on historical buildings and iconic sites, to celebrate this year’s theme Connecting with Nature; the New York Empire State Building, the Niagara Falls in Canada and the Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, are but some of the sites that will be enlightened in green.
The City of Spoleto has joined the initiative, to underline the old connection between Man and Nature, a feature of Spoleto’s area.
Monday 5 June the churches of St. Peter and St. Pontianus will be the object of a special green lighting, while a “Bat Night” will take place at the Giro della Rocca: expert researchers at the Studio Naturalistico Hyla will lead participants in search of bats, sole existing flying mammals.
A special “bat detector” will be used, to help participating humans detect the ultrasounds produced by bats, to then identify species, and learn about their biology and habits.
The appointment is on Monday 5 June at 20.30 in Piazza della Libertà. “Spoletocammina” will also join the initiative.

Two special appointments this week at the Sala Pegasus, to meet the Italian protagonists at the Cannes Film Festival 70th edition, that took place from 17 to 28 May, 2017.
Wednesday 7 June at 21.00, director Roberto De Paolis and the protagonist of Cuori puri (Pure Hearts), selected for the 49th Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, will be present.
The film is the love story of Agnese and Stefano: Agnese, 18 yo, lives with her hard and devout mother; she goes to church and is about to make a chastity vow until marriage; Stefano, 25 yo, a former rascal now working as a keeper of a parking lot in a mall, bordering with a huge Romaní encampment.
Saturday 10 June, also at 21.00, it’s the turn of directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza who will present Sicilian Ghost Story.
Taken from Marco Mancassola’s Un cavaliere bianco, the film is about the abduction and murder of Giuseppe Di Matteo (melt in acid in 1996 at the age of 14 to shut his father’s mouth in a time when his father was a justice collaborator) and the tenacity of a school mate of his who was in love with the killed and refused to surrender to the prevalent code of silence.
Both meetings will be led by cinema expert Roberto Lazzerini.
The two events are organized in collaboration with Cinéma Sala Pegasus and Maia Associazione Culturale.

Eleven prototypes of hemp-made objects will be on display at Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts, in the frame of the Fabric-Action Project promoted by Regione Umbria in collaboration with the Hemp Museum – Ecomuseum of the Umbrian Appennine Ridge, the Polifactory of the Polytecnnic University of Milan and Ghénos Communication.
On the occasion of the 2017 Milan Design Week of last April, the project was presented at the Fuorisalone. 80.000 visitors praised the futuristic lines of the eleven objects on display, that include musical and percussion instruments, an air-filtering system, vase-holders for indoor farming, a suspended cradle, a hat by the revitalising properties, and insulating modules. And then there is more, i.e. retro games such as seesaws and skateboards, which sent the imagination of many a visitor back to their childhood days…
All these hemp prototypes were conceived by famous designers or by students who threw their hats into the Fabric-Action ring, to give new shapes and life to this fiber, deeply rooted into the Valnerina’s traditions and lands.
Fabric-Action combines design and digital production through multiple experimentations on hemp, across digital technologies and new production techniques.
In particular, Fabric-Action, conceived and developed to support Valnerina in the frame of the Valnerina – Saper Fare project, blends the material theme of hemp with the immaterial dimension of know-how, that distinguishes Umbria in general.
After the huge success of the Fuorisalone exhibition, the prototypes will be on display at Spoleto – Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts – 17 June through 31 August.
Inauguration: 17 June, 2017 at 12.00

60 moons in Spoleto’s sky for the sixtieth Festival of Two Worlds
a project by Giancarlo Neri
LUNE is a light installation spread over the town’s historic center. Sixty luminous globes, with a diameter ranging from 25 in. to 4 ft, will be strategically positioned on towers, churches, palaces and rooftops of the old town so as to always offer a “multiple” view of the sixty satellites orbiting around planet Earth.
“I have been playing with the Moon and with moons for over twenty-five years now, and very seriously. In New York, London, Naples, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon… and now Spoleto: it’s a fatal attraction and I’ll probably never tire of it.”
In 1958 Spoleto welcomed the first great multidisciplinary art and performance review of the twentieth century, conceived by Gian Carlo Menotti as an opportunity for cross-cultural contamination between Europe and the United States of America.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this fantastic creation, the City promotes a major exhibition entitled 1958-2017 – The City in the Festival a Festival in the City.
The exhibition itinerary ideally starts from Rocca Albornoz, with section 1958: alle radici della storia, and concludes in the former church of Sant’Agata, reopened for the occasion, where visitors are plunged into an evocative story of the art events of the last 60 years. This long and suggestive tale unravels across the city along the mechanized paths leading to the Old Town and in commercial activities.
A project conceived and carried out by Emaki Immagine e comunicazione, with the organization and coordination of Stefano Bonilli and Mario Brunetti’s artistic direction.
The section of the exhibition 1958: alle radici della storia is edited by Antonella Manni and Rosaria Mencarelli with the collaboration of Spoleto State Archive Department. The section 1958/2017 set up in the Church of S. Agata has been organized in collaboration with the National Archaeological Museum – Roman Theater of Spoleto.
Inauguration: Thursday 29 June at 5.30 pm at Palazzo Mauri
The exhibition venues:
Church of S. Agata 1958/2017
Casa Menotti – Festival of the Two Worlds Documentation Center

Two years past the first exhibition organized by Officina d’Arte&Tessuti in Spoleto, this year it’s the time of Spoleto Fiberart.II – Contaminazioni from 30 June to 31 July.
The exhibition is curated by Maria Giuseppina Caldarola, will be split between the Museo del Costume e del Tessuto and the exhibiting spaces in Via Plinio il Giovane. A single material is the object of the exhibition, the fiber, represented in a huge number of shapes and uses, hence the title Contaminazioni.
Prominent artists, including Lydia Predominato and Anna Moro Lin, will be joined by young artists. This is the result of the collaboration with DARS Udine, an association that promotes and organizes the biennial Libro d’artista exposition, that will present a selection from the 2016 edition. In particular, it will be possible to examine the works of professors and students of the Bologna and Barcelona Academies of Fine Arts, of the Art School of Udine and Cortina d’Ampezzo, and of the Venice International Graphics School. Students and professors of Paper Technology at the Rome and Milan Academies of Fine Arts were also invited, as well as those from the Weaving and Tapestries Sections of the Rome Ornamental Arts School. The association “Arti Tessili”, organizer of the Valcellina Prize, will present four artists from Germany, Poland, Japan, and South Korea.

curated by Riccardo Buzzanca
The exhibition is a tribute to Master Gianni Gianese, a talent from the Italian 1900s who has just passed away, with a selection of sculptures and sketches created for the motion picture industry and the theater.
Gianese´s artistic story unfolds along the fragile borderline that divides an artist from an artisan; in the case of the Master, this borderline made him lose control of his very existence.
For more than sixty years he shaped the “dreams” of the greatest film and theater directors and scenographers, both Italian and international, giving shape to the sculptures that have become a shared heritage of all those who love cinema, dream, and the lifelike. From Fellini to Pasolini, Terry Gilliam, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Luchino Visconti, Elio Petri, Lina Wertmüller and Franco Zeffirelli.
He collaborated, among others, with Luca Ronconi, Carmelo Bene, Mauro Bolognini, Gabriele Lavia, Liliana Cavani, Giorgio Ferrara, Robert Carsen and Grahm Vik.
His collaboration with the Italian scenographer Dante Ferretti was also intense.
He created sculptures for the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Salzburg Festival, the Opéra in Paris, Nanterre, Zurich and the major Italian theaters. Today some of his maquettes in the Opéra Garnier section of Paris are permanently exhibited at the Orsay Museum, others at the Louvre.
