LETTERA DEL DIRETTORE Luca Filipponi Even the great Italo Calvino had said "I will never publish anything about America as much has already been said and published, going even further is difficult and perhaps superfluous". Then it wasn't like this and the American stay and in particular that of New York had a huge impact on the Italian intellectual born in Cuba in 1923 and lived around the world with particular references between Rome and Paris, so true is this hypothetical theorem expressed by me that perhaps the most read and the most famous (perhaps among the most famous books) by the intellectual of Sanremo origin is precisely the masterpiece work in my opinion, entitled "The American Lessons", which still today represent a interesting starting point, and certainly qualified for those who want to learn more about the American phenomenon. This year in 2024 the Menotti Art Festival Spoleto will be present in at least three major events in the USA, such as New York-Los Angeles-New York, two symbolic and iconic cities, in which we will be present both in integrated communication and also in presence, also because someone called the Gian Carlo Menotti Festival, in the name of the perhaps most important musician and composer of the 20th century, cannot fail to be present in America and the USA. And so the cover could not be missing (with the cover being a work by Andrea Natale) another iconic, or rather mythical, character, who even if of English origin in New York and the USA is still a myth that still exists and is more alive than ever: John Lenon! Thinking about it for a moment, during the Christmas holidays, I said to myself, but what could be more beautiful and healthy than representing the arts through a marathon, that is, almost 42 km of physical running, a marathon that we do in virtual form at Spoleto Art Festival every year, a marathon of the arts which on a psychological and psychic level for me and for all of us is much more than the 42 km run! And so I said to myself in 2024, run in addition to the virtual marathon, also the physical and real one which will take place on November 3rd in New York and where all of us in various capacities will be present to promote the 2025 art Festival Spoleto, because on that date we will have already concluded 2024... but maybe I'm seeing the whole film in reverse, that is, starting from the end, but it seems almost normal to me, and all in all I like it! Enjoy the reading! Anche il grande Italo Calvino aveva detto " Non pubblicherò mai nulla sull’America in quanto molto è stato già detto e pubblicato, andare ancora oltre è difficile e forse superfluo". Poi così non fu ed il soggiorno americano ed in particolare quello di New York incise moltissimo sull'intellettuale italiano nato a Cuba nel 1923 e vissuto in giro per il mondo con riferimenti particolari tra Roma e Parigi, tanto vero questa ipotetico teorema da me espresso che forse il più letto ed il più famoso ( forse tra i più famosi libri) dell'intellettuale di origine Sanremese c'è proprio l'opera capolavoro a mio modo di vedere, intitolata appunto "Le lezioni Americane", le quali ancora oggi rappresentano un punto di partenza interessante, e sicuramente qualificato per chi vuole conoscere meglio il fenomeno americano. Questo anno nel 2024 il Menotti art festival Spoleto sarà presente in almeno tre grandi eventi negli Usa, come dire New York-Los Angeles-New York, due città simbolo ed iconiche, nelle quali saremo presenti sia nella comunicazione integrata ed anche in presenza, anche perché chi si chiama Gian Carlo Menotti festival, in nome del musicista e compositore, forse più importante del XX” secolo, non può non essere presente in America e negli Usa. Ed allora non poteva mancare in copertina (con la copertina un'opera di Andrea Natale) un altro personaggio iconico, o meglio mitico, che anche se di origine inglese a New York e negli Usa è ancora un mito che ancora esiste ed è più vivo che mai: John Lenon! Ripensandoci poi un attimo, durante le festività natalizie, mi sono detto, ma cosa c'è di più bello e salutare che rappresentare le arti attraverso una maratona, cioè ben quasi 42 km di corsa fisica, una maratona che noi facciamo in forma virtuale a Spoleto Art Festival tutti gli anni, una maratona delle arti che a livello psicologico e psichico per me e per tutti noi sono molto di più dei 42 km di corsa! Ed allora mi sono detto nel 2024, conere oltre alla maratona virtuale, anche quella fisica e reale che si svolgerà il prossimo 3 novembre a New York e dove tutti noi a vario titolo saremo presenti a promuovere il 2025 art Festival Spoleto, perché in quella data avremo già concluso il 2024 ... ma forse sto vedendo tutto il film al contrario, cioè iniziando dalla fine, ma a me sembra quasi normale, e tutto sommato mi piace!

Jpeciale Usa LA -NY www.ciampagliadEsign.cam Ciampaglia Car Design EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN My experience in the automotive industry originates from my passion for engines, which began at an early age, which prompted me from a young age to imagine automotive lines, simply by tracing them on paper. In a simple way, often drawing only the side view of the vehicle. My passion and my work in car design have their "sextant" in the search for the greatest "formal rigor" in the definition of a bodywork, thus avoiding wedge-shaped or too swollen lines and above all looking for harmony in the side view of the vehicle, a “full horizontality, a rigor that makes it stand out as a good product of Italian design. This characteristic of mine, beyond my specific path over the years, probably made me trace a small furrow with my sometimes (but not always) strongly angular lines and which, according to some friends and colleagues of the Turin automotive industry, would have recently been source of inspiration also for a "disruptive" SUV of the American house best known for electric vehicles. My "career" if we can define it that way, which has also been interspersed with periods in television directing, philosophy and national politics, is divided into two phases: In the first one I had contacts with Pininfarina (in the person of Ing. Ramaciotti) and then with l.de.A. The Franco Mantegazza Institute in 1993 in Moncalieri (TO) which will be the way will be the way to develop an exchange of stylistic ideas with Francois Lampreja in that place. The contacts with the Advanced Design of FIAT Auto (FCA Italia) now STELLANTIS in Via La Manta in Turin, will then give rise to the admission, then not taken for various reasons, to an internship period in the Company in 1995: the engine of th a t, Arco. Ermanno Cressoni (then department manager and ALFA 33 and ALFA 75) and Mario Favilla of the Alfa Romeo Style Center in Arese (Ml). In December 1997 the presentation on the Internet of the Fluydybrid and Tota clay models dedicated to FIAT and Lancia will have a wide international echo: from that experience STILETORINO will be born which, in the wake of that experience, will have contacts all over the world. The conceptual contribution, still partial but of full conceptual vitality, to the LAMBORGHINI Gallardo studies in August 1998 will then be an opportunity to introduce ideas on the new form, animated by the well-being of Eng. Tellarini and then the President Eng. Vittorio Di Capua. Subsequently, the Roman experience with GIANNINI Automobili of the Polverelli brothers did not prevent a certain exchange of stylistic ideas. Subsequently, after a long "pause" in which I produced in other work experiences, here is the "resumption" in 2015 of an intense activity, albeit autonomous, of rendering and sketches production which, mostly disclosed on the web, on Social brought to the attention of the general public, in the last year, the creation of the “VENUSTAM” concept for his friend and colleague Armando Romano will be the occasion of “victory” in the Transportation category at the ePDA 2021 | European Product Design Award.

pedale Usa LA-NY di S a n d ro Cnstanzi FROM PIETRO OTTOBONI TO GIAN CARLO MENOTTI: LAN DINGS IN THE CULTURE BETWEEN ITALY, FRANCE AND AMERICA II Colombo or Discovered India (libretto by Pietro Ottoboni and music by Bernardo Pascucci, Rome Tetro Tor di Nona 1691 ); Montezuma (libretto by Alvise Giusti and music by Antonio Vivaldi, Venice, Teatro S. Angelo 1733): Venice, which had always aimed at the East, in baroque music begins to turn towards the West, or rather towards America. These are the first two works that Italy produced on the Americas. They certainly introduced a breath of fresh air into melodrama which was then concentrated on classical myth or in any case on ancient history, dealing with a historical event that was completely foreign to the practice of the time. Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni's Columbus fits into the still dominant conception of clemency and civilization brought by European sovereigns to conquered peoples. Antonio Vivaldi's opera Montezuma, which was said to be lost while Vivaldi himself was still alive, was instead partially rediscovered in 2002 in the archives of the music library of the Sing-Akademie in Berlin: the second act was found in its entirety, while some I and III were collected only arias and detached fragments. The recomposition of the work is due to the musicologist Alessandro Ciccolini. In modern times the drama Montezuma was created in 2007 at the San Carlo Theater in Lisbon. The musical archive of the Sing -Akademie in Berlin was stolen during World War II and taken to Kiev, only to return to its homeland at the end of the war. One of America's dearest works, certainly during the Second World War, was La fille du régiment. I confess that I wish I had written it: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy pays homage to Gaetano Donizetti, who debuted in Paris at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique on 11 February 1840. The Parisian success of this opéra-comique by Gaetano Donizetti in Paris had been by: Marin Faliero (1835, Théâtre Italien); Roberto Devereux and L'elisir d'amore (1838); Lucie de Lammermoor, Les martyrs, universally known as Poliuto (1839, Opéra Gamier); Le duc d'Albe, L'ange de Nisida, better known as La favorite (1839, Théâtre de la Renaissance). Therefore a triumphal success for Donizetti in Paris, envied by Hector Berlioz who thus addressed the prolific Italian musician: we could no longer talk about theaters in Paris but only about Donizetti's theatres; and he commented in the Journal des débats of 16 February 1840: La fille du régiment, a work of which two dozen can be composed a year, with a well-lubricated head and a smooth hand. Puppet music: Robert Schumann and Richard Wagner added. The first and original version of this opera by Gaetano Donizetti, who brings together the Italian bel canto associated with the sparkling verve of the opéra comique, is therefore in French on the libretto by Jean François Alfred Bayard and Jules Henry Vernoy de Saint Georges . Shortly after the first composition in French he created a version in Italian, but The Daughter of the Regiment never achieved the unconquered success and popular appreciation that La fille du régiment had from the beginning. Precursor work that in the multifaceted role of the soldier Marie, adopted by the XXI Regiment; a collective authorship, (today if it had been a film, it would have been a romantic comedy) celebrates the ancient friendship between France and America. In fact, throughout the 19th century Donizetti's La fille du régiment was performed on the 14th of July, a French national holiday; add to this that this opera was performed at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York during the Second World War with the addition of the Marseillaise in the finale presented by Lily Pons. And with this ending La fille du régiment was also performed in 2015 due to the terrorist attacks that France had had in November at the city stadium and the Bataclan performance hall.If Paris welcomed the music of Luigi Cherubini, Gioacchino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi, New York consecrated the U.S. the genius of Giacomo Puccini, hosting the first performance of La fanciulla del West at the Metropolitan Opera House on 10 December 1910. Already since 1907 the Metropolitan Opera House had performed the operas Manon Lescaut, Madama Butterfly, Tosca and La Bohême in their respective performance order. In 1910 La fanciulla del West will see the participation of the soprano Emmy Destin (Minnie), the tenor Enrico Caruso (Johnson), the baritone Pasquale Amato (Sheriff Ranсe); directed by Tito Ricordi with scenography by Angelo Parravicini who, at the request of Puccini himself, introduced eight horses in the last act that stood out against a dense snow-covered forest. Everything was harmonized by Arturo Toscanini.In fact, the Italian musical intelligentsia at the beginning of the century concentrated on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. 11
peciale Usa L A —NY di Sandro Costanzi FROM PIETRO OTTOBONI TO GIAN CARLO MENOTTI: LAN DINGS IN THE CULTURE BETWEEN ITALY, FRANCE AND AMERICA Giacomo Puccini came to La fanciulla del West thanks to David Belasco's drama The girl from the Golden West; the authors of the libretto, Carlo Zangarini and Guelfo Civinini, wrote it from an Italian translation obtained by Sybil Seligman; an English friend of Giacomo Puccini who also sent him American folk songs and Indian songs. Puccini began composing La fanciulla del West in 1907; a tortuous genesis but in the end certainly glorious and recognized: The work is finished! - To this the composer added - 1 made a few cuts and removed many nice things in the book; and believe that everything is there: the emotion, the picture and the beautiful conclusion of a work that is not small in size. It was yesterday evening that the events of Minnie and her companions ended. Praise the Lord. The work is set at the foot of the Cloudy Mountains in California. A miners' camp, in the days of the gold fever, 1849 -1850 according to the indications of the libretto, undoubtedly reflects the Puccini exoticism of Madama Butterfly (Japan) and Turandot (China). An America already insinuated into the works of Giacomo Puccini; first in a desolate and boundless land near New Orléans in Manon Lescaut (1893) and then reconfirmed in B. F. Pinkerton, lieutenant in the U.S. Navy., the tenor in Madama Butterfly (1904). From Giacomo Puccini, of whom he was a profound admirer, to Gian Carlo Menotti passing through Arturo Toscanini himself. With free, but wise, candor Gian Carlo Menotti almost confesses in his last interview published by Paolo Cervone in the monthly Amadeus in May 2007, Gian Carlo Menotti, The Duke's dream. This is how he remembers his first meeting with Toscanini, a family friend: I went with some friends to his villa, for fear of disturbing him, we asked about his wife. “The lady is busy” replied the waitress, “if you want, you can talk to her husband, she has nothing to do”. And Gian Carlo Menotti, mindful of such support, will always remember the support that Arturo Toscanini gave him in Italy and the USA. It is the tenderness of an elderly gentleman who returns pure and free while awaiting death: I too have used the magic formula to make objects move, and I am no longer capable of stopping them. I too could use the help of a magician, but I fear it's death.Gian Carlo Menotti arrived in America at the age of sixteen accompanied by his mother. He remembers him in a cantata for soloists (soprano, contralto, tenor and baritone) and choir, dated 1976 and entitled Landscapes and remembrances where he recalls his life in America. He thus introduces his arrival in America, in an introductory note in Arrival in New York by sea: I was 16 when I first landed in New York. It was a cold winter morning, a few days before Christmas. My mother was with me. Few and concise words that demonstrate the memory of the heart. To sixteen-year-old Gian Carlo Menotti New York revealed itself to be teeming, intoxicated with life: The magic city crumbles into a clattering maze of steel. /From the deserted dock,/A smiling old man waves/At the approaching ship. In Picnic by Bradywine, the sixth aria entrusted to the soprano recalls and sweetly describes Samuel Barber's family. There the bucolic aspect of America flows into nostalgia: By the Brandywine?/Stretched out on the warm damp grass/l close my eyes, time floating over me/Like an aimless river.The water memories (the port of New York, the Brandywine River) finally dissolve in an airplane flight that takes Gian Carlo Menotti to Europe. It is the final aria of his cantata, entrusted to the baritone and the choir, The sky of departure (leaving America by plane, at sunset. After having lived, loved and worked in America for ever forty years, could I ever leave it without feeling exiled? : an exile remembers a fullness of life and love. The last farewell to beloved America : America, goodbye, oh love of my youth./lf I return to you-no longer an impatient lover/But as wistful friend, an undemanding eager friend, / Will you open your skies to me again? In short, a true declaration of love, to her never surrendered beauty: your unsurrendered beauty. 12
DINGS im BEi We have now reached the end of this journey which has been a perennial homage of Italian classical music to America. A profitable and mutual exchange as demonstrated by the Festival dei Due Mondi, created and directed by Gian Carlo Menotti: thanks to his genius, musicians of the caliber of Samuel Barber (A hand of bridge 1959, Vanessa 1961, both operas composed on Gian Carlo's libretto Menotti) and Louis Armstrong were at home in the theaters and squares of Spoleto. Moved by Pietro Ottoboni and Antonio Vivaldi, travelers in the Americas; World War II and the America dreamed and glimpsed in Gaetano Donizetti's Paris with La fille du régiment (1840), to the tune of Manon Lescaut (1893) we then crossed the Atlantic Ocean until we reached the California of La fanciulla del West (1910) in the America that consecrated Giacomo Puccini. Finally in Arturo Toscanini, a common link between Gian Carlo Menotti and Giacomo Puccini, we traveled into the memories of M° Menotti's heart, into the America that he poetically sings in the cantata Landscapes and remembrances (1976). It is therefore appropriate and dutiful for Gian Carlo Menotti himself to reconnect this single common thread: The avant-garde (...) is caged like wild beasts in the zoo, no one takes them home. I am the most represented contemporary author, at least outside Italy, but now even the critics are starting to agree with me: there is a cautious return to the romantic tradition, to which I have remained faithful throughout my career, despite the ferocious attacks. Unfortunately we composers have to die to be appreciated.

Subsequently, on May 27th, it was repeated in Venice in Calle del Teatro or Commedia, within the Biennale and finally on July 8th in Spoleto on the occasion of the Menotti Art Festival. The same author and performer of the piece, Stefano de Majo, explained his theatrical work thus, highlighting the historical and cultural roots of the Umbrian territory, regarding the values of peace and love: "Umbria, green heart of Italy has always been, as well as a place of natural and scenic beauty, also a land of profound mysticism and spirituality, which expresses the propensity for love and peace through the figures of hermits and saints. There is no other place in the world that can boast, in relation to the extension of the territory and the number of inhabitants, such a large number of famous mystics and saints, women and men dedicated to love and peace, to whom a territory has given Christmases. In fact, just to mention a few women, they were Umbrian Saint Clare of Assisi, her sister Saint Agnes, as well as Saint Rita of Cascia. But if we think about some of the men who later became saints, we realize that they are Umbrian very important figures such as the patron saint of Italy, Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of Europe, Saint Benedict of Norcia and even the patron saint of love in the world : Valentine's Day from Terni, universally considered the protector of lovers even in countries of different religions. My theater piece on Valentine's Day plays precisely on the transversality of the "saint in love", tracing a portrait that is not only religious but also popular, between sacred and profane, between real history and mere legend. Thus, historical ideas relating to the figure of the Terni martyr who actually existed, taken from the essay published by Giuseppe Cassio and Edoardo D'Angelo with the collaboration of Paolo Cicchini, alternate with other completely legendary ideas, taken from authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare and even Edgar Allan Poe, who were the first to talk about Valentine's Day in literature. But there are even references to pre-Roman and therefore pagan history, which highlight the ancient cultural roots of Umbria as a land of peace and love, with the ancient migratory tradition of the Ver Sacrum, attested by authors such as Strabo, Scylax, Pliny the Elder and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who testify how the Umbrian peoples conquered territories without any use of weapons but through migrations of couples in love in search of new lands to cultivate. Here is therefore the powerful message of peace and love that comes from Umbria through the Menotti Art Festival and the theatrical piece on Valentine's Day Pop by Stefano de Majo, in this moment in which the world is crossed by wars and violence. From this theatrical work, a short film was also made in English to convey the message of peace of Valentine's Day in the world through art, in the spirit dear to Maestro Menotti, for whom art must be a gesture of “love". 15

Mario Lo Coco The Ceramic Art Df Monreale that Defies Time Lo Coco's distinctivE style manifests itself through the creation of ceram ics with fascinating shapes: perfect spheres, elegant CDnes and bnaks, with their folded pages. The strength of La Coca's ceram ics lies in his ability to mold clay into both simple and complex shapes. Lo Coco's spheres are like globes of knowledge, containers of knowledge and mystery. Every detail is takeo care of with precision, and the mastery with which he shapes the clay transform s each piece into a timeless work of art. The cones, of Sumerian inspiration, are true masterpieces. Lo Coco has been able to reinterpret ancient form s in a contemporary key, giving each piece an aura of mystery and spirituality. The precision of the engravings and the attention to detail reveal careful historical research, a respect for traditions that merges with the artist's creativity. Lo Coco's ceramic books are a tribute to knowledge and culture. The choice to use the book as a medium is a tribute to the wisdom and depth of human knowledge, an invitation to explore worlds through reading and reflection. Mario Lo Coco's ceram ics are a journey through time and space, a combination of craftsmanship and historical inspiration. Each piece is a work of art that tells age-old stories and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of magic and contemplation. His ability to shape clay and the depth of his themes make Mario Lo Coco a m aster ceram ist from Monreale to be admired and appreciated. Paola Biadetti Artistic Director SMA 21

In fact, the Sea, the Ynung Pauple, the Culture have always been the nourishment uf her soul, the guide to move forward, the comfort for the loss of Simonetta, her beloved daughter killed at the hands of the Camorra. Appointed Official of the Republic, she still prefers to feel like the "Children's Partisan", as she has been defined for her propensity to reason with young people, and to create in them the "warm core" of values and feelings. A sensitive and refined writer, today she directs the Istituto Bianchi, with her gaze always fixed on the distant horizon. You have published numerous books of poetry and fiction for Guida Editori and Graus Edizioni. Angela Procaccini The silence of the boys: the common thread of these stories, in which singular, unique emotional profiles are intertwined, which find the strength tD react to the anxieties of life, freeing themselves from their fears. The stories told offer glimpses of daily realities, and underline the pleasure and security that the places of origin transmit, but also the limits linked to lives of sacrifices, which become heavy ballasts. From here comas the desire to escape, to listen tD the voices of nature that stimulates the imagination. Thus, for example, Gianni learns to take care of others and therefore also of himself, Mimmo tastes the flavor of hope through the charm of music, Fatima embodies nostalgia for one's origins and the importance of culture that sets one free, Sibilla expresses the inner emptiness that tears apart after a disappearance. All the characters are particular: through emotions they manage to go beyond what is allowed to them.
