But we see in detail the program of events planned for Saturday.
Among the concerts in the program of the festival, worthy of note are those of the Teatro San Carlo, the Foundation’s Pietà de ‘Turchini, the Orchestra of the master Gerardo Di Lella (a concerto for full orchestra on Italian cinema known in the world, from Rota to Morricone, Piovani by Bob). During the event, there will also be a screening of a short film on the life of Cimarosa, with actor Peppe Lanzetta among the leaders.
