Tuesday 19 December 19:30 Sanctuary of San Giuseppe in concert Emanuele Pio Zupo.
The “Note d'Arte” initiative of the Municipality of Sant'Agnello is underway, as part of the “ViviAmo il Natale” event program, sponsored by the Metropolitan City of Naples.
This is a review strongly desired by the Mayor Antonino Coppola and the Councilor for Tourism Marcello Aversa, dedicated to the rediscovery of the places of the territory and to the knowledge of the cultural and artistic heritage, sometimes hidden, often little known.
The artistic director and art historian Assunta Vanacore will guide you on this journey, illustrating the works present in the locations chosen for the concerts. A format that, as the name of the event, “Note d'Arte” suggests, alternates moments of dissemination and musical performances.
Tuesday 19 December at 19:30 pm the Sanctuary of San Giuseppe will host the first event. For the occasion the protagonist of the musical part will be Emanuel Pio Zupo, a very young virtuoso pianist from the Sorrento peninsula, winner of numerous prestigious international prizes.
