«We have set up – comments the director of the Archaeological Park of Sibari, Filippo Demma – a program for true Sybarites. This year, then, with Sybaris Folk, we will talk in even greater depth about the roots of our territory: it will be a review of sounds and voices of the Arbëria of Calabria to recover another piece of Sibaritide history and enhance the Arbëreshë language. The Magna Graecia Jazz Fest will have a special focus on pianists, with artists of international level, and Sybaris Arte will host concerts by important artists, but also cameos of dance and poetry at sunset, which will speak to the hearts of our audience. A refined program, as is natural for it to happen here, where elegance was born, two thousand seven hundred years ago». Please note that participation in the Sybaris Folk, Sybaris Arte and Magna Graecia Jazz Fest events is included in the normal cost of the ticket, with which you can access the National Archaeological Museum of Sibaritide and the archaeological area of Parco del Cavallo .
