One year after the flood in Romagna, Ravenna Festival is dedicating eight free and green events to discover and rediscover those territories and celebrate their spirit of resilience and community.
With appointments on the weekends from 10 May to 2 June, 'Romagna in fiore', organized by Ravenna Festival, province of Ravenna and province of Forlì-Cesena, in collaboration with the municipalities of the localities involved and with the collaboration of Tozzi Green and Trail Romagna, is a special solidarity, eco-sustainable and widespread event, with guests Vinicio Capossela and Don Antonio, NeriMarcorè, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti and Simone Beneventi, PaoloBenvegnù, Elena Bucci and Christian Ravaglioli, Moder and LaCorelli, Murubutu and the Moon Jazz Band, Daniele Silvestri, ManuelAgnelli, Dardust and the Sunset String Quartet.
Without bulky stages or artificial lights, the afternoon events, all at 4pm except the first scheduled for 6pm, are hosted in outdoor spaces of scenic and historical value, reachable on foot or by bike from the designated areas.
From Faenza to Riolo Terme, from Brisighella and Modigliana to Tredozio, Galeata, Conselice, Sarsina up to the La Torraccia locality of the Cab Terra cooperative, which has sacrificed a large portion of its cultivation land to drain away the waters that threatened the city of Ravenna.
'Romagna in bloom' is an opportunity for local communities and the public to meet, but also an opportunity to relaunch tourism, to help keep the spotlight on those areas, exalting their natural and cultural heritage and the hospitality that distinguishes them.
"In recent years - said the president of the province of Ravenna, Michele de Pascale - Ravenna Festival has always had a marked, but never instrumental, attention to social issues, in particular thanks to its founder, Cristina Mazzavillani Muti".
"After last year's flood, talking about Romagna in bloom touches the chords of our land, of what we are - underlines the president of the province of Forlì-Cesena, Enzo Lattuca - The Romagna of those terrible days from 'my Romagna' has become the Romagna of all Italy".
