From 20 May to 5 June, Varese will host “Una Storia Tanti Artisti”, an event that celebrates the protagonists of the first 14 editions of the summer festival that animates the Sacro Monte every July.
A traveling exhibition through the posting of posters in various points of the city, presenting some of the most emblematic protagonists since 2010.
«We had the desire – explains Andrea Chiodi, artistic director of the event – to celebrate this important milestone by bringing to the walls of the city the great protagonists of these years, who are certainly the greatest interpreters of the Italian theater scene. The idea of a traveling exhibition aims to make the images that show, from time to time, moments from the various editions accessible to the greatest number of people while walking around the city.”
The protagonists of culture who arrived at the top of the Sacro Monte were immortalized by the photographer Giacomo Vanetti, a historic collaborator of Tra Sacro e Sacro Monte who was able to capture the artists’ looks and gestures.
«From Casbeno to Masnago we will find the small cultural heritage of the festival with the faces of Lucilla Morlacchi, Massimo Popolizio, Piera Degli Esposti, Elisabetta Pozzi, Giorgio Albertazzi, Umberto Orsini, Gabriele Lavia, Federica Fracassi, Giacomo Poretti, Paola Gassman and Ugo Pagliai, Giovanni Scifoni and Giancarlo Giannini”.
«Working for Tra Sacro e Sacro Monte gave me the opportunity to photograph extraordinary actors» says Giacomo Vanetti, historic photographer of the festival and author of the shots of this widespread exhibition.
«Through the photograph I was able to tell the emotion and the message that the artist conveys to the public, with his own presence and at the same time keep the memory of this experience alive».
The exhibition will close on June 5, the day on which the 2024 season of the event will be presented, which will be held in the XIV chapel of the Sacro Monte. The fifteenth edition will be embellished with a special event, designed precisely to celebrate this significant occasion, to be shared with the large audience who always follows the festival with passion.
