“GENOVA PER NOI” Musica, Poesia, Storia e Territorio

The Italian Cultural Institute of Washington DC, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Society of Washington DC, presents “GENOVA PER NOI” Musica, Poesia, Storia e Territorio, a performance by The i-Talians (songs of De André, Conte, Fossati, Tenco) with a commentary on songs by Prof. Francesco Ciabattoni (Georgetown University), author of La citazione è sintomo d’amore. Historical overview by Francesca Casazza. Poetry reading in Genovese dialect by Stefania Amodeo.

A superb overview of one of Italy’s most beautiful cities, Genova per noi will take you inside the aristocratic palaces of Genoa’s sixteenth-century wealthy merchants and through the mysterious alleys of its waterfront.

An important industrial harbor, Genoa always exerted a special appeal for sailors and noblemen. Genoa was the birthplace to Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, Niccolò Paganini and Guglielmo Marconi and the city has been a world powerhouse in commerce, exploration and art. Architect Renzo Piano redesigned the harbor area in 1992, restoring its old power in a new but classic style.

Fabrizio De André, Italy’s most famous songwriter, immortalized Genoa in many of his songs. Nobel award winner Eugenio Montale also was born here, and his poetry sings of the beautiful landscape and the metaphysical breath that issues forth from Genoa, the neighboring region of Cinque Terre and the “Gulf of the poets,” that inspired Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
