ROME - The myth Patti Smith, the powerful video installations by Bill Viola, the multiethnic music of the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio. But also Luca Zingaretti who reads Andrea Camilleri, Federico Rampini who talks about economics through the Beatles, Emma Bonino narrator for a film by Werner Herzog. And again the director Romeo Castellucci, the sculptor Janet Echelman and the artist, illustrator and animator Gianluigi Toccafondo. They are just the tip of the iceberg of the over 100 events with 600 artists and personalities from the world of culture in 10 months of events (from 15 September to 29 June) that will animate the first edition of Riemergere, conceived by Eur Culture for Rome and created by Eur Spa with the artistic direction of Oscar Pizzo between the Cloud by Massimiliano Fuksas, the Palazzo dei Congressi and the entire district.
Concerts, film festivals, video art and photography, publishing and contemporary art fairs, musical masses and long sound nights between jazz, gospel, taranta, indie and trap; orchestral appointments, art exhibitions and meetings with representatives of the world of journalism and culture, tributes to great writers and pop icons, special events and projects reserved for children. On www.eurspa.it/ and on www.facebook.com/eurspa and www.instagram.com/eurspa/ the detailed program. And Fuksas himself, present at the presentation press conference, says: "Finally I see something that I have dreamed of, indeed that many have dreamed of. It took some time (not so much for the construction site as for the organization of this work) The dream we have is to make public places, architecture is the art of peace.My and my wife Doriana's dream was to give the city an important place and we saw it when the President of the Republic came to see how the vaccination space inside La Nuvola worked. And it actually works, also because everywhere in these 10 thousand square meters the light penetrates and from various parts you can see the pines, it is an interior-exterior. These very hard and dramatic months - he concludes - have made us jump 20 years and I believe that your program is valid for the next 20 years ".it is an internal-external.

"Having given centrality to the theme of culture and a living and contemporary culture - explains Francesco Rutelli, president of ANICA and creator of Videocittà - is an extremely important merit. This program also includes the new edition of Videocittà which starts tomorrow and who has already used the EUR buildings to make wonderful video-mapping ". "The goal will be to move from Eur object to Eur subject of culture, both in the synergistic relationship with Roman and national cultural institutions and, even more importantly, in the citizen's imagination, modifying the common sense towards a neighborhood perceived as an elitist and far away "explains the artistic director Oscar Pizzo. "We wanted to open La Nuvola to the city.The vaccination center has demonstrated the strength and charm of this magical place. Our ambition is to make this extraordinary architectural work a place for everyone and usable every day of the year. The pandemic leaves us a challenge for the future of the city: the spaces, if well used, will help us build familiar places. Common goods, especially for future generations, will represent the added value for a city that is easier to live, with more colors, emotions and safety "adds the CEO of Eur Spa Antonio Rosati, while the president of Eur Spa Alberto Sasso concludes: "We felt that La Nuvola, capable of great international attractiveness, should finally open up to the city of Rome,combining its fundamental congress function with an extraordinary cultural offer on a national and international level. Eur Culture for Rome is a unique challenge of its kind ".
