“With Notte d'Arte – Sorrento by night between art and museums we are experimenting with a new synergy between cultural institutions and associations in our city – explains Mayor Giuseppe Cuomo -. This is a new initiative that will see the entire Sorrento area as a protagonist”.
“For the first time we are bringing together entertainment and culture,” adds Gaetano Milano, CEO of the Sorrento Foundation. “An innovative proposal that can represent added value for the city.” Among the organizations involved is the Museo Correale di Terranova, which for one evening is completely open to Sorrentines and tourists. “For the occasion,” emphasizes president Gaetano Mauro, “we have teamed up with associations operating in the area such as the Rotary Club and Le Amiche del Museo Correale, who contribute to organizing the events scheduled at our facility. I would like to point out that, while the museum will remain open and can be visited for free until late at night, the event organized for Notte d’Arte is by invitation only and the proceeds from the ticket price will go towards the restoration of a painting kept at the museum.” “We too have decided to make our contribution,” says Antonino Terminiello, president of the Pro Loco Sorrento, “and for the evening we have organized classical concerts in various locations and will keep the craft exhibition open at Bastione Parsano until late at night.”
“The goal of the event is to open up to a new frontier of tourism,” says Massimo Coppola, Councilor for Territorial Marketing for the Municipality of Sorrento. “An innovative format that brings together culture and entertainment without weighing on the municipal coffers and that is aimed at both our fellow citizens and our guests.”
“We aim to create an event that can be repeated over the years, becoming a regular event, an event that unites the entire territory, from associations to traders” – concludes Luigi De Simone. Also speaking at the press conference were Michele Liccardi, president of the Rotary Club Sorrento, Leone Cappiello, founder of the Syart Gallery, the actor Marco Palmieri and the publisher Alessandro Polidoro who defined the effort shown to bring together culture and entertainment as a “great proposal of civilization”.
