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 A story in images is a collection of unpublished photographs dating back to the years of the discovery of the Roman Theatre of Spoleto and its unearthing, from 1938 to 1960.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 The exhibition reveals unpublished aspects of the discovery of the Roman theatre and the transformation of the complex of S.Agata from a judicial prison (1867-1957) to a museum.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’.

Manual Intelligence: Craft Production and Techniques in the Lombard Period
24 January – 21 July 2019
Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto | MuCiv – MAME of Rome
Openings
Thursday 24 January at 16 – Spoleto
Tuesday 29 January at 11.30 a.m. – Rome
15 exhibitions are held at the same time and 7 themes are treated within the project Longobards in the limelight. Exchanges and sharing between museums to enhance the Longobard heritage, conceived and coordinated by Italia Langobardorum Association, management structure of the UNESCO site “Longobards in Italy. The places of power (568-774 A.D.).
An ambitious project that enjoys the patronage of the Ministry of Heritage and Culture and obtained the contribution of MIBAC Law 77/2006, dedicated to Italian UNESCO sites.
The project aims at raising knowledge about Longobard culture through the enhancement of the museums located in the seven monumental complexes that are part of the UNESCO site, but also of those sites that were involved by the passage of the Longobards. Collaboration and synergy between museums are encouraged by temporary exchanges of artworks, divided into thematic exhibitions, hosted in the 6 museums of the UNESCO site network (National Archaeological Museum of Cividale del Friuli, antiquarium of Castelseprio, Museum of Santa Giulia in Brescia, National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, Diocesan Museum of Benevento, TECUM Museums of Monte Sant’Angelo) the Temple of Campello sul Clitunno, and eight other museums throughout Italy.
Exchanges between museums, temporary exhibitions and cultural support activities are also enhanced by an online virtual exhibition created with MOVIO (www.longobardinvetrina.it) and by a single catalogue, characterising this project as the first exhibition to be held nationwide, conceived as a set of exhibitions on Longobard culture; the largest exhibition in terms of territorial extension and involvement of institutions and historical-archaeological heritage.
Spoleto has focused on the theme of Manual Intelligence: Craft Production and Techniques in the Lombard Period.
Two exhibitions, promoted by the City of Spoleto, will be held at the Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto and at the MuCiv – MAME of Rome.
These exhibitions illustrate the technical-productive knowledge of the Lombards in Italy and identify the processes that led this people to integrate their technical heritage, typical of the Germanic population, with the Roman-Byzantine Mediterranean matrix, in a period of transition between the late ancient period and the early Middle Ages.
The Lombards had a particular “vocation for iron, steel and metallurgy” in line with the high technological level of production processes in the rest of the Germanic world, distinguishing themselves in the production of jewellery, weapons and tools.
To illustrate their craft skills, metal objects found in the necropolises of Nocera Umbra (PG) and Castel Trosino (AP) were selected. These objects were created with different techniques: mould casting, cloisonné, punching, filigree, damascening and niello.
Finally, there is also a brief reference to ceramic production, which shows its own clearly identifiable characteristics.
Opening ceremonies will be held on Thursday, January 24 at 16 in Spoleto and on January 29 at 11:30 in Rome.

The 55th Race of the Vaporetti, a race at breakneck speed through upper Spoleto, will be held from June 14th to June 16th 2019.
The thrilling final of the race will take place on June 16th along the winding streets of the old town.
Vaporetti are small carts on iron wheels, with a team of two, a pusher and a driver. The name comes from a steam-engine coach, the ‘vaporiera’, that from 1902 to 1909 used to serve the Spoleto-Norcia route, the first in Italy.
The race, which takes place along the streets that cross the historic city centre, has established itself as a successful local tradition, attracting every year an increasing number of spoletini and visitors.
Organization: Associazione Corsa dei Vaporetti di Spoleto ASD, in collaboration with AVIS Spoleto.

OUT OF THE PALACE – If I want to have fun, I READ
The Municipal Library promotes the culture of reading among children and families within the framework of Il Maggio dei libri, an event now in its 9th edition, promoted by the Centre for Books and Reading of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, with the contribution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of University and Research.
Books for children and teenagers will be on display: books in cloth and cardboard, small stories, sound books, pop-ups, tactile books, and many others will offer children and parents an overview of the best literature dedicated to children, teenagers, parents, educators in general.
Information material will be distributed on the reading projects that the Library promotes in the area: Giocalibro with schools of all levels, Nati per leggere, and others…
The message of this year’s edition is READING AS FUN. In addition to books there will be games, memory tests and skills for children and adults who can “play” as helpers. Final prize: a surprise book for those who have proven to be a reader or who want to become one.
The initiative is carried out by the Municipal Library “G. Carducci” with the collaboration of Civil Service interns: Sara Antonelli, Saverio Baiocco, Eleonora Benedetti and Thomas Pompili.

between innovation and tradition
27 June-8 October 2019
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).
