The exhibition The Hidden Theatre. A story in images is a collection of unpublished photographs dating back to the years of the discovery of the Roman Theatre of Spoleto and its unearthing, from 1938 to 1960.
The exhibition, promoted by the Polo Museale dell’Umbria – Museo Archeologico e Teatro Romano di Spoleto, in collaboration with Astra onlus and the Archivio di Stato di Perugia, section of Spoleto, shows photographs coming from the Accademia Etrusca di Cortona and from the archive of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale dell’Umbria. The exhibition reveals unpublished aspects of the discovery of the Roman theatre and the transformation of the complex of S.Agata from a judicial prison (1867-1957) to a museum.
The history of the monastery of S. Agata – already known thanks to the research of G. Curti, S. Di Sante Coaccioli, S. Gubbiotti, resulting in the 2011 documented book “The Roman Theatre and the former monastery of S.Agata. Chronicle of its transformations” – is now enriched by photographs taken by the then inspector archaeologist Umberto Ciotti, who documented every step of the demolition and excavation work.

National Museum of the Duchy (Spoleto) and Temple of Clitunno (Campello sul Clitunno)
The intentional reuse of Roman worked stone in the Lombard Period
Organized by Associazione Italia Langobardorum and Polo Museale dell’Umbria
Opening: Tuesday, December 18 at 12:00 at the Temple of Clitunno and at 15:00 at the National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto.
The respect and emulation of the ancient, very widespread in the Lombard period, is one of the most obvious phenomena of that process of acculturation and integration of Lombards, very important for their affirmation. It is along the Flaminia Nova, in the stretch between Spoleto and Campello, that one can find numerous monuments that testify to the reuse of ancient materials in buildings of the early Middle Ages and Romanesque age, many of which arose near cemetery areas outside the city.
The exhibition is part of the cycle of events entitled Longobardi in vetrina (Lombards in the limelight), a project within a series of activities promoted by the Associazione Italia Langobardorum – management structure of the UNESCO site Longobards in Italy. The places of power (568-774 A.D.) of which the municipalities of Spoleto and Campello are founding members – for the dissemination of knowledge of Lombard culture.
The exhibitions will be accompanied by educational and training activities and conferences that makes this project the first nationwide exhibition dedicated to the Lombard people, the largest in terms of extension and involvement of institutions and archaeological heritage. The 15 exhibitions will all be inaugurated by the end of January 2018 and will be collected in a single printed catalogue and in a single virtual exhibition created with MOVIO, the multifunctional open source platform promoted by MiBAC, used to create and publish exhibition guides, digital extensions of real and virtual exhibitions.

Longobardi in vetrina is part of the project Exchange and sharing between museums to enhance the Lombard heritage for which the Association has obtained from MiBACT the admission to funding under Law 77/2006 ‘Measures for the protection and use of UNESCO sites’.

State Archives – Spoleto Section
Largo G. Ermini
SPOLETO
The exhibition Spoleto 1960, il terzo Festival dei Due Mondi (Spoleto 1960. The third Festival of Two Worlds), curated by the Spoleto Section of the State Archives and open until September 30, 2019, presents archival documents, posters and photographs of the time.
“At the beginning of the ’60s – wrote Giovanni Toscano and Sandro Morichelli – the Festival was already a consolidated reality. Of course there were some difficulties, especially economic ones, but there was a common desire to move forward. One evening, in the town council, the doors were ideally closed: we won’t leave here until we find the money for the Festival. Spoleto was becoming an important point of reference for Italian and international culture and we could not go back.”
The third Festival dei Due Mondi has been the longest in the event’s history (8 June – 10 July 1960), and the final concert in Piazza del Duomo was among those shows that for the first time RAI will decide to broadcast live, along with the opera “The Prince of Homburg” by Hans Werner Henze at the Teatro Nuovo. RAI also chose, for recorded television footage, the opening opera “La Bohème”, broadcast nationwide on June 9 at 21.05, and the “chamber concerts given at Caio Melisso”, also known as aperitif concerts and then “Concerti di Mezzogiorno”, considered the main innovation of that year. The city is committed with all its strength to improve its image and services and, in order to achieve the third edition of the Festival, the City Council of Spoleto unanimously decides a contribution of 2,000,000 lire. In the same way, the role of the local tourist promotion agency turns out to be decisive at that stage. Finally, people of Spoleto living in Rome decide to establish an association of “Amici di Spoleto” (Friends of the Festival), which will later be called “Amici di Spoleto” (Friends of Spoleto).

curated by Marco Tonelli
Artistic Director at Palazzo Collicola
Opening
Saturday 29 June – 11.00 a.m.
PALAZZO COLLICOLA
Spoleto
Almost twenty years after its inauguration as the seat of the permanent collection of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Spoleto, dedicated to the figure of curator and art historian Giovanni Carandente (1920-2009), Palazzo Collicola starts a new chapter under the direction of art critic Marco Tonelli.
The collection was completely redesigned, brought to the second floor of the building and rearranged according to a new museum criterion, and enriched with educational facilities and works.
The starting point of the collection will be the strong presence of modern art in the city of Spoleto, to which some thematic rooms have been dedicated, starting with the one on the 1962 exhibition Sculptures in the city (participated by the most important sculptors of the time), through the various editions of the Spoleto Prize (1953-1968), and works by Pascali, Ceroli, Uncini, Moreni, Turcato, Morlotti, Vacchi, and the Group of 6 from Spoleto.
There is a consistent presence of 30 among sculptures and drawings by Leoncillo, born in Spoleto in 1915, from his initial period to the naturalistic, neo-Cubist and especially informal one, with emblematic works including Affinità patetiche, Pietà or Corpo dolente set up in the long and bright gallery at the second floor of the building.
The itinerary is composed of various rooms displaying works that will be periodically subject to rotation, includes sections dedicated to the Forma 1 group or to the Scuola di San Lorenzo, to abstract art (from Melotti to Biggi, Verna, Bendini and Asdrubali), to figuration (including Ontani, Di Stasio and Barni), with particular attention to works by modern sculptors such as Caro, Chadwick, Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro, Franchina and Cuschera.
Also important is the presence of works by conceptual artists such as Dibbets, Mochetti, Patella, Garutti and above all Sol Lewitt, who lived in Spoleto and in 2000 created the spectacular walldrawing Band of Color n.951 in Palazzo Collicola.
Alexander Calder (present with mobiles, wire sculptures and gouaches) and Beverly Pepper, especially in light of their relationship with Carandente (to whose donation we owe, among other things, a large part of the collection, that also includes the acquisitions of the Premio Spoleto, and bequests of artists and individuals), have their own sections, which significantly open and close the exhibition.
On the occasion of the re-design, the collection has been enriched with new works, including Gianni Asdrubali, Gastone Biggi, Stefano Di Stasio, Paola Gandolfi, Leoncillo, Francesco Lo Savio, Afranio Metelli, Nunzio, Pizzi Cannella and Francesco Somaini.
The three inner rooms of the Gallery are dedicated to drawings and graphic works by Leoncillo and Burri, by Italian artists (including Guttuso, Melotti, Raphael, Lo Savio, Gnoli, Accardi, Capogrossi) and foreign artists (including David Smith, Chillida, Scarpitta, Moore, Chadwick).
Finally, the nucleus of about 100 photographs by Ugo Mulas taken in 1962 during the exhibition Sculture nella città (Sculptures in the City) is important, works that, due to the delicacy of the supports, will be exhibited following periodic rotations.
SIDE EVENTS
Loris Cecchini: Hypermeasures
The new setting of the Spoleto Modern Art Gallery will be accompanied by two temporary interventions designed specifically for this occasion and for the external and internal spaces of Palazzo Collicola.
The first of the two is Loris Cecchini’s Hypermeasures, a special base in front of the museum entrance with a sculpture built with modules of light metal, while inside the gallery at the Piano Nobile three sculptures made with the same principle of the Alfa Alfa and Waterbones series will be suspended, linking the mechanical and technological naturalness of these ramifications and rhizomatic hyperfetations with the floral motifs of the gallery’s frescoes, typical of the so-called Spoleto baroque of the early XVIII century.
With the support of the Galleria Continua (San Gimignano/Bejing/LesMoulins/Habana)
Bruno Ceccobelli: MarmoriiMarmorei
In the fifteen rooms of the gallery at the Piano Nobile, Bruno Ceccobelli has also created a route consisting of sculptures in marble and stone, a sort of journey entitled MarmoriiMarmorei, which invites visitors to cross the rooms and meditate on the sense of Fortune and its circularity. The very symbolism of the works and the route (with a beginning and a point of return following the same itinerary), the presence of fragmentary sculptures that seem to be finds and discoveries, are proposed as an initiatory journey and clue in search of meanings and truths, which can never be given in an absolute and clear sense, but evocative and spiritual.
With the support of the company “I Sassi” from Assisi.

The Rocca Albornoz – National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto will host, Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 18:00, Woman, per qual virtude. Sacred and profane love in the Middle Ages.
A concert by the Cantoria Mevaniae: a choral group accompanied by musicians, which studies and interprets the monodic and polyphonic repertoires of medieval and pre-Renaissance music.
Since the dawn of civilization, until the Renaissance, there has never been a clear boundary between sacred and profane, that is, between ecclesiastical practices and popular ones, indeed the trespassing from one to the other is very common.
The development of sacred music, which perfectly follows the story of Catholic Church, underwent important changes from the end of the Roman Empire, changes that became definitive with the penitential and Franciscan movements and the vernacular language as the fastest and most incisive means of communication.
Ecclesiastical rites and ceremonies left the churches and convents to open up to people’s understanding, developing new ideas of painting, literature and music. It was the great humanistic revolution of the Middle Ages. Brotherhoods and lay movements, together with pilgrimages and the great phenomena of popular devotion, became the ideal place to develop new forms of art.
Alongside the paintings with great themes elaborated by the Bible and the apocryphal Gospels, the practice of camouflage, consisting in replacing the text of a profane composition with a sacred text, or vice versa, with the same melody, became rather widespread in music, something that was not considered blasphemous by anyone, although to us, today, it may seem so.
The use of profane themes in large sacred compositions, such as masses, was also common. Paraliturgical forms of popular singing were developed with the figure of Mary Mother of Jesus at the center, idealized as the perfect creature, capable of being understood in heaven as on earth. No less important is the use, in courts and musical chapels, of popular and sacred melodies to sing the Courtly love for the ideal woman.
The great paraliturgical traditions were born in that period and they are still alive today in the most conservative populations, in which the border between the sacred and the profane is still very blurred.
Cantoria Mevaniae is composed of Lorenzo Lolli, singing, psaltery, portable organ, percussions, and Mario Lolli, lute, ud, guitar, singing.
Conductor: Elga Ciancaleoni.

73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
EINE KLEINE MUSIK: ESPAÑA
Music Preview of the Opera Season
This year, after focusing on France in 2018, the festival will focus on Spain. A series of pieces on music by de Falla, Villa Lobos, Piazzolla and Albeniz, interspersed with the reading of poems by Antonio Machado will be the prologue to the staging of EL RETABLO DE MAESE PEDRO by Manuel de Falla, in the transcription for piano and voices by the author (ed.1934). Mariachiara Grilli will conduct and play the piano, the direction will be in charge of Alessio Pizzech, already known at the Sperimentale. The stage set will be curated by Andrea Stanisci, who will also sign the scenes for Re di Donne and later for Il Barbiere di Siviglia. El retablo de Maese Pedro is rarely staged in Italy and was for the author a way to refer to a national tradition, composed with a strict criterion. The libretto is taken from the original text of Cervantes, lightening the pieces in a suitable way. For the director Pizzech: “Don Quixote will be an artist who confronts with himself and his art. A “madness” conceived together with Stanisci between figurative art, music and theatre”.

Monologue by Stefano de Majo, with live music by Fabrizio Longaroni (keyboard, trumpet and vocals) and Gustavo Gasperini (violin)
A play for actor and musical duo in the unique setting of the Sacred Forest of Monteluco, where the conversion of the Poor Man of Assisi took place.

Fabrizio Longaroni: his artistic experiences include collaborations with Ennio Morricone, Franco Zeffirelli and Amy Stewart
Gustavo Gasperini: numerous international collaborations, already in the staff of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples and currently engaged with Gino Paoli and the Chamber Orchestra of Perugia.
Author and actor Stefano de Majo trained at the Theatre School of Anna D’Abbraccio; he acted with Gastone Moschin, Edoardo Siravo, Ben Gazzara, Francesco Salvi, Vanessa Gravina, Fabio Bussotti, Eleonora Giorgi, Serena Grandi. He wrote two novels, two collections of short stories and poems.

73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
RE DI DONNE (WOMEN’S KING)
Absolute first execution
Chamber opera in five scenes for 4 singers, instrumental and electronic ensemble to a libretto by Cristina Battocletti and music by John Palmer.
The opera was specially commissioned by the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale of Spoleto.
“The theme is feminicide, which is explored within a fatal triangle that will lead to the final tragedy. The characters’ different psychological aspects are treated in a musical dialectic where the singers’ dialogues are also the instruments’ dialogues. Word and sound become two aspects of the same human dimension” (John Palmer). Moreover, says director Pizzech: “The scenic design conceived with Stanisci is based on the body not as an element of sacredness, not as an important element of the individual, but as “the image”, which determines violent impulses and intentions: possess without love. Costumes by Clelia De Angelis.
