(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 15 - The idea was simple: to represent Italy, with its sun its sea, art and nature, but above all to represent Italians with their unique vocation to adapt and welcome.
The result is a fantastic creature, half technological, half natural, a universe of lights floating in the water and can transform, envelop and enhance, from darkness to blinding light, each of the 40 teams that will perform on the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Loracconta at ANSA for a preview of the multimedia artist and stagedesigner Francesca Montinaro, who from her Roman studio - where she is working on the construction of two multimedia museums that will originate in Saudi Arabia - flies to Turin to begin the construction of the scenography she conceived for 66 / a edition of the Eurovision Song Contest,
40 will start in the semifinals on 10 and 12 May at the Palalpitour in Turin to arrive in 25 at the final on 14. Maanche to give space to the three conductors, Laura Pausini, Alessandro Cattelan and Mika, with the direction signed by an exceptional tandem, Duccio Forzano and Cristian Biondani.
'' This is a stage that, like the Italians, must know how to welcome diversity and adapt, must know how to reposition itself as we often do, even politically ''.
A work, that of Montinaro, which in this moment of war has a high symbolic rate.
'' Yes, but the idea was already there after the covid - she explains - these two years that made us understand that only being united can save us.
Union is the future and this stage, which features only young people, only wants to bring positive signals.
In this sense, its meaning is even stronger at this time. ''
The scene then, dominated by the enormous backdrop of rotating arches, is drop-shaped and in front and around ('' like Italy in the Mediterranean '') it is immersed in water.
In front of the sitting rooms where the artists stop are '' a real baroque garden with real plants that resembles those of Villa d'Este, Castel Gandolfo, Villa Lante and many others scattered throughout our country ''.
