piazzale Tecchio,
Mostra d’Oltremare
The comparison with the works from the past, tangible proof of the genius of men and its development, can generate innovative ideas. And so, the museums of Capodimonte, San Martino, Duca di Martina and Villa Pignatelli turn into real laboratories of creativity, hosting a series of events, marked by the contamination between various artistic languages, from painting and sculpture to theatre, from decorative arts to music. Today the appointment is with Un abitare aristocratico (i.e. An aristocratic living). The music percome by Sergio Colicchio and Antonio De Rosa and the visit to the refined rooms of Rosina Pignatelli’s apartment, which preserves the furnishings of the library and of the dining and ball rooms, allow to retrace the history and lifestyle of a Neapolitan aristocratic family.
Welcome to the bitter-sweet world of chocolate. You’re not in Perugia or Torino, this time Naples is the capital city of titbits. Italian and foreign producers, artisans and artists, so everyone who works with chocolate is participating to the first event of southern Italy entirely dedicated to chocolate. For all the visitors many activities: admire the demonstrations of the chocolate maestros at work and the creation of the chocolate ‘presepe’ (nativity scene), get lost in a dream admiring the chocolate fountain, more than one meter tall, and enjoy a beauty treatment that tastes like cocoa. Many tasting stands that propose curious food combinations with chocolate as well as a choco-pizzeria, because we’re in Naples! Many activities for children and the election of the Showcolattino 2009, that is the best chocolate of the event, for which visitors can vote. A gluttonous opportunity not to miss.
When Thomas Stearns Eliot wrote his nephews the letters, he surely didn’t immagine that they would have become a book “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats”, and also a musical, Cats, a box-office champion as well as a long lasting show. Today Cats, created by the composer Lloyd Webber, the author of the Phantom of the opera, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita,reaches Naples and speaks Italian. The feline dancers meet on stage for the annual dance and we discover that each one has its own personality and story to tell. Spiteful, glutton and sophisticated, as wel as magic and sensual. The love and devotion towards cats since the ancient Egyptian civilization is definitely responsible for Cats success and the public’s appreciation in the last thirty years. So just enjoy the purring.
