From 21 to 23 June a weekend of music, shows and dinners under the stars in the 13 locations in the region that are participating in the initiative
The rhythm of passions, the rhythm of emotions. This is the common thread of Romantic Night 2024the important event that takes place simultaneously throughout Italy and which in Friuli Venezia Giulia has its own precise identity, articulated in the events of 21, 22 and 23 June.
THE thirteen most beautiful villages in Italy in fact, they present a unitary program that is divided into thirteen declinations of the idea of passion and emotion, thirteen different variations on the theme. A widespread event that also tells the peculiarities of these villages – by their nature, intrinsically “human to human” – capable of offering those singular nuances to the needs and special feelings of each individual.
A weekend spread to discover places, people, flavors and traditions
An unmissable weekend spread with fun, moving, dynamic, passionate, musical, theatrical, dance and romantic events: a program to be together and discover the places, people, flavors and traditions of truly unique “ecosystems” to be witnessed also through the Borghi Clic photography competition.
Here then are the main initiatives of Notte Romantica – which will also be accompanied by other collateral activities – which the artistic director of the event, Emanuela Furlaninvites us to discover: preview Friday 21 June in Palmanova with a tribute to the romantic poetry of tragic and lost existences of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrisonin conjunction with the Music Festival.
Saturday 22 The highlight of events: the surprising and entertaining contemporary circus theater show “Sconcerto d’amore” a Cordovado; the persuasive harmony of the strings to reinterpret classical, pop and rock songs in “Vivaldi on the rock” Appreciate it; the disturbing energy and dynamism of the dance of Kataklò Athletic Dance a Sixth at Reghena; a site specific visual concert a Strassoldo; the dreamlike and slightly irreverent liveliness of the Balkan music of Radio Zastava a Polcenigo; the comic musical involvement of the eclectic Banda Osiris a Valvasone; dinner under the stars between the liveliness of samba and the saudade of bossanova Poffabro; the passion in the different musical nuances of tango with the talented New Ethno Jazz Quartet a Clauian; the overwhelming energy of Funkasin Street Band a Sappada; a concert/performance for theremin and cello a Toppo.
Grand finale in Fagagna with the concert at dawn
Closes, as always, Fagagna: at dawn a concert on the extraordinary notes of Nino Rota and, in the evening, the ancient flavor of popular traditions with the initiative dedicated to St. John’s Night.
“I am thrilled by the idea of starting this coordination experience starting from the Romantic Night, which is one of the flagship events of the National Association’s annual calendar”, are the words of Zaida Franceschettinew mayor of Sesto al Reghena and regional coordinator of the network.
“I would like to continue on this path – continues Franceschetti -, which we can also follow thanks to the substantial regional funding which allows us to improve the quality of the shows and public participation every yearand thus give maximum attention to finding the most suitable show for each village, respecting the identity and vocation of the places, so heterogeneous and therefore so rich in different stimuli and emotions, for the curious, slow and experiential tourist”.
“For nine years Friuli Venezia Giulia has stood out on the national scene”
Markus Maurmairregional councilor of Friuli Venezia Giulia and member of the national board ofNational Association of the most beautiful villages in Italy emphasizes that “For nine years Friuli Venezia Giulia has stood out on the national scene for having created a coordinated calendar of events since the first edition, selected by careful and sensitive artistic direction”.
“The facts proved us right – continues Maurmair – given thatand our Festival has no equal on a national level; 2024 is a particularly rich year in terms of events and artists on the bill, also thanks to the resources that we have confidently secured for the network of our 13 villages, which, I am sure, will expand in a few months with other memberships, as evidence that the brand of The most beautiful villages in Italy is certainly a winner”.
“Today, those who travel seek authentic experiences”
“After pandemic – these are the words of the Regional Councilor for Tourism, Sergio Emidio Bini – tourism trends have profoundly changed. Today, those who travel seek authentic experiences, in contact with nature and local traditions. In this sense, Friuli Venezia Giulia can boast an unparalleled offer: far from mass tourism, there is waiting for the visitor a heritage made of culture, art and unique flavours. No one is able to represent this richness better than small villages. This is why the Region convincingly supports initiatives such as the Romantic Night, which every year showcases local history and traditions to tell the truest and most authentic side of our Friuli Venezia Giulia. A round of applause to the organizers and to all the 13 municipalities involved, because with this event they guarantee not only the valorisation of the territory from a tourist perspective, but also an active effort to relaunch the internal areas”.
