The TEDxBarlettaSalon returns for the last act this Saturday 20 April starting from 6 pm. The journey that began “Before dawn”, distorted by “Revelations”, will end when “Beyond the Twilight” goes. The new event will take place at the Barletta “Hugo Simmen” tennis club, in Viale del Santuario 7. In case of rain, the event will move inside the structure.
“The initiative aims to once again offer an opportunity for dialogue, discussion and inspiration on issues that concern us all closely – explains Anna Paolillo, member of the TEDxBarletta event planning team. Ours is an invitation to look inside ourselves and ask ourselves what dusk has represented in our personal journeys, what emotions have marked it, when and if fear, bewilderment and mistrust have given way to the beauty of desires and possibilities that the future can offer us.”
The TEDxSalon project follows a very specific route: the dissemination of ideas and life experiences that deserve to be told. The same principle that, in May 2023, characterized the TEDx Barletta with the great event: “Rumore” in Piazza D’Armi al Castello, as part of the US circuit born in 1984 in Silicon Valley with the acronym TED, Technology Entertainment Design. Here the proceedings of the TEDxBarlettaSalon will accompany the public to discover the theme of the 2024 main event.
“The image of twilight identifies itself in a transitory space in which ideas, projects, dreams come together – points out Gianfrancesca Distaso, member of the TEDxBarletta event planning team. Transition, metamorphosis and change are themes based on the concepts of hope and the future, messages that we would like to guide the community towards the next main event. The guests of “Beyond Twilight” will tell how it is possible to embrace change with confidence, energy and determination”.

Francesco Paolo Damato has one foot in the world of languages and another in the marketing and e-commerce arena for large multinationals in Milan. He has made versatility his hallmark. But behind his formal attire lies an aspiring presenter and event creator with a contagious passion for entertainment, music and culture. Founder of the “Circolo Marida” in Barletta, he wishes to transform his city into a lively cultural crossroads, where the beauty of life is expressed through events that combine fun, culture, art, entertainment and charity. With his unwavering energy, Francesco won the hearts of the local community.
The artistic performance space is entrusted to Francesco Massaro, saxophonist, composer and teacher and Mariagrazia Fiore, speech therapist and author of short stories. The partnership between Mariagrazia and Francesco was born in 2021. From that moment, their collaboration has deepened. Together they dedicate themselves to reading aloud and music for girls, boys and families, trying to combine the pleasure of shared reading with the discovery of contemporary arts, especially research music, but also naturalistic and landscape aspects. Mariagrazia and Francesco travel around Italy, appearing on the stages of important festivals, crossing enchanted woods, bringing words and sounds to libraries, bookshops, parks and pediatric practices and wherever there are ears, eyes and hearts ready to welcome stories, with just one goal: to spread the love of books.
