The traditional event of Sulmona returns in a renewed guise, going beyond the regional borders and taking on national and international characteristics
Calendar opens on Saturday 9th July with the vernissage of the personal exhibition “L'assoluta Libertà” by Giordano Floreancig curated by Alessandro Erra
There is a lot of Campania in the Giostra Cavalleresca di Sulmona, which returns after a two-year hiatus with an edition in which tradition meets contemporaneity and the highlight of the competition, which will take place on July 30 and 31, preceded by the costumed parade led by the Queen, will be preceded by a calendar of cultural events.
The organizers of the 2022 edition want to promote the Giostra Cavalleresca di Sulmona outside the regional borders, making it a strong tourist attraction, with the involvement of prestigious partners and to spread its history through the publication of a volume of photographs and stories, entrusted to the Neapolitan publishing house Rogiosi, founded by Rosario Bianco. Also of Neapolitan origins is the maison E. Marinella, which for the XXVI edition of the Giostra Cavalleresca di Sulmona has exclusively created the tie in plain blue silk gauze with under-knot detail of the new logo of the Giostra. On Sunday 17 July, at 21.00:60 pm, in the Courtyard of the Santissima Annunziata Complex, the screening of the docufilm “Una vetrina che guarda il mare” will be held, directed by Massimiliano Gallo, which tells the century-old story of one of the most beloved Made in Italy tailoring brands. Alessandro Iovino, director of Real Inside Magazine, narrates and moderates. Another Campania partner of the event is the food brand Rummo, which with the traditional and iconic “spaghettone” will be among the courses of the Panarda, a Renaissance dinner with 5 tastings curated by Chef Clemente Maiorano, which will take place on Friday XNUMX August, in Largo Palizzi in the Porta Manaresca district.
Some of the program's events were presented during a press conference held in the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Sulmona. The event was attended by Gianfranco Di Piero, Mayor of Sulmona; Maurizio Walter Vittorio Antonini, Acting Commissioner of the Sulmona Historical Joust Association; Rosario Bianco, Rogiosi Editore; Andrea De Capite, Mastrogiurato of the Sulmona Knightly Joust; Alessandro Erra, ERRA Art Galleries, curator of the exhibition "L'assoluta Libertà" (Absolute Freedom) and gallery owner of Giordano Floreancig; Giorgio Giangiulio, Ambassador of Italian Style and Made in Italy, representing the Chivalric Order of the Guardians of the Nine Gates; and Domenico Taglieri, President of the Savings Bank Foundation of the Province of L'Aquila.
The cultural program opens on Saturday, July 9th (vernissage at 21.00:2022 PM) with the opening of the exhibition "L'assoluta libertà" (Absolute Freedom) by Giordano Florenacig, the internationally renowned artist who created the 8 Palio.
