Gambuzza, in the presence of a large audience who appreciated the piece “Vinciemmu awar e persumu la paci” directed by Marcello Bruno, and after the inauguration, together with the animators of the Grest groups, of the Pippo Giuca youth center (in the photo below), created by the young people of the catechism as a space open to all the young people who intend to meet here and participate in initiatives dedicated to them, the feast of Saint Peter the Apostle, patron saint of Modica, comes to life. Yesterday evening, the staircase of the Mother Church was a superb setting for the concert (in the photo above) by the philharmonic ensemble of the “Città di Modica” Belluardo Risadelli musical band with the extraordinary participation of the maestros Andrea Giuffredi, Corrado Giuffredi and Fulvio Creux.

“We are getting closer – comment the provincial president of Confcommercio Ragusa, Gianluca Manenti, and the sectional president, Giorgio Moncada, who support the carrying out of the celebrations in the media – to the key phases of the patron saint’s day. And it is natural that the attention grows more and more. There is also great attention on the part of our associates because the feast of St. Peter the Apostle remains a moment to be lived fully and profoundly.”
