Story Riders is back, the event now in its fifth edition, in collaboration with the Campania Region, the Province of Salerno, the Cilento National Park, the Municipality of Torchiara and the BCC of Buccino and the Cilento Municipalities, which transforms Torchiara into the town of stories.
For three days, from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 October, in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palazzo Baronale de Conciliis, representatives from the world of theatre, cinema, literature, art and journalism will alternate to tell their stories on three central themes: female creativity on the first day, redemption on the second day, and “slow tourism”, the Unesco theme of the year. The event will conclude with the award ceremony for literary stories sent from all over Italy to the Common People competition.
It starts at 16:30 pm with the re-creative writing workshop with Raffaele Aragona and Daniela Fabrizi, at 18 pm institutional greetings from the Mayor of Torchiara, Massimo Farro, the councilor for culture, Gennaro Guida, the general director for cultural policies of the Campania Region, Rosanna Romano. It will be followed by a meeting with the three protagonists for the theme of female creativity: the artist Carla Viparelli, fresh from an exhibition organized for her in Los Angeles, the actress Lina Sastri on the eve of her new show that will debut on October 10 and Cinzia Leone winner of the Rapallo Literary Prize with “Ti rubo la vita”. Armida Parisi of Roma and Giulia Cerasoli of Chi will comment on the female stories of the first day.
“This year too – explains Angela Riccio – we have tried to create a cultural event that through words, writing, cinema and music re-proposes the ancient pleasure of storytelling, with the different tools that man has at his disposal. Telling about oneself, about one’s time. And perhaps telling, especially to those who are not lucky enough to live there, the beautiful land of Cilento, a UNESCO heritage site”.
Frequented by intellectuals and politicians, the Borgo Riccio lounge has become a laboratory of thought where cultural projects for the promotion and enhancement of the entire Cilento National Park are discussed and launched.
And it was precisely from the preview of Story Riders at the end of August that the project “Percorsi d'arte contemporanea” got underway, which will enrich the municipalities of the Cilento hinterland, close to the coast from Paestum to Sapri, with permanent installations curated by international artists.
