Grosseto: Sunday April 21, in Grosseto, opera music will resonate in an exceptional setting: ithe Hall of Honor of the former Palazzo Littorio, headquarters of the Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza. The initiative is part of the events planned to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Foundation and testify to the “social” role of the Corps, wanting, at the same time, to remember and honor Maestro Giacomo Puccini, on the centenary of his death.
As is known, the composer lived for some years in Maremma, near an ancient watchtower – which today bears his name – located in the municipality of Orbetello. A few meters away from the building, there was a Brigade of the Guardia di Finanza, a small outpost with a few men employed to carry out customs surveillance services along the coast. In that period the Maestro formed relationships of sincere respect and friendship with the military, a bond so deep that it led him to be awarded the rank of “Honorary Officer” of the Guardia di Finanza.
The concert, organized in collaboration with the “A.Gi.Mus” Association of Grosseto, features twelve young talents of opera music from the “Georg Solti Accademia”, a prestigious training institute that selects new voices from the entire international scene, offering them the opportunity to grow professionally and perfect themselves. At a time when the Fiamme Gialle are celebrating 250 years of history, the opening to the public of the most prestigious room of the former Palazzo Littorio – a place of undisputed historical-artistic importance which, due to its military connotation, is normally closed to visitors – represents a tangible testimony of the close proximity of the Grosseto Financial Police to the local community. The proceeds will be donated to charity: for more information and reservations you can visit the website www.ticketgate.it.
