The councilor for youth policies of the Municipality of Montesilvano, Alessandro Pompei, today takes stock of the 4th edition of the Pulpa Festivalheld last weekend: “Personally – he writes – it is a dream come true because this was precisely what I had in mind when, way back in 2016, we carried out the first real intervention of retraining urban”, imagining for Montesilvano an event “that would combine the visual arts with sport, the redevelopment of places, entertainment, training”, and which “could become a recognized and awaited event over the years. And that is precisely what happened from May 17th to 19th. A sea of people filled the streets to see 6 famous Street Artists interpret the theme of interculture, the common thread of this 4th edition shared with ‘Divercities’a citizenship education project carried out by the Formula e Movimentazioni Association with the municipality of Montesilvano as leader which had its culmination during the festival”.
