SUMMER IN THE FORTRESS

Summer in the Fortress

The event that animates Arezzo’s Medici Fortress for the entire summer gets underway.

Estate in Fortezza, the kermesse that from 11 July to 24 September offers a rich programme of events that will bring to the city a vast artistic-cultural proposal, as always varied and transversal: from music to entertainment, passing through dance and the great Italian and foreign singer-songwriters. A review that aims, once again, to embrace several generations and make the Fortezza one of the beating hearts of Arezzo’s summer: from Massimo Ranieri to Santi Francesi, from Nada to Alice with a tribute to Franco Battiato, from Frida Magoni Bollani to the musical dedicated to the unforgettable Raffaella Carrà.

After the June preview with Arezzo City of Readers, the third edition of the Premio Aquila d’oro, the city of Arezzo’s award to the values of sport, for an evening to celebrate and tell the virtuous stories of athletes and personalities in society. The following day, 12 July, Massimo Ranieri takes the stage with the concert “Tutti i sogni ancora in volo” (concert in the location: Il prato), including singing, acting, famous songs, funny sketches and unpublished stories. On 15 and 16 July, Sosta Palmizi presents ‘Ersilia – Circus of the Invisible Cities’, a contemporary circus show celebrating Italio Calvino 100 years after his birth.

It continues on 17 July with ‘Arezzowave and Us & Springsteen’, an evening dedicated to the Boss, and on 18 July with a concert by Frida Bollani Magoni. On Friday 21 July, the hilarious Paolo Ruffini in the show “Io?Doppio! – Politically Correct’, his cult show of dubbing in the Livorno vernacular. A stop in Arezzo for the “Alice sings Battiato” tour (22 July) with Alice’s new recording project “Eri con me”, sixteen songs by Franco Battiato. Travelling theatre show scheduled for Sunday 23 July with “Le donne di Shakespeare” in collaboration with rumorBianc(o). Short monologues give voice to the conscience of four Shakespearean female characters (Juliet, Ophelia, Lady Macbeth and Desdemona).

On 25 July, a gala evening with the Loyalty to Work Award in collaboration with the Arezzo-Siena Chamber of Commerce, and on the 26th the music and entertainment returns with the Musical “Raffaella! Homage to Carrà” with the most famous and significant songs of the great Raffaella Carrà interpreted by Beatrice Baldaccini.

On Thursday 27 July the Barbascura X show in “Amore Bestiale”, on the 28th Nada’s concert and on 1 August “Pink Floyd Tribute Band” recalling and paying homage to The Dark Side of the Moon.

Friday 4 August “Santi Francesi” in concert, the winners of the 16th edition of the X Factor on tour.

At the end of August, the Guido d’Arezzo International Polyphonic Competition with the final evening of the 38th International Folk Singing Festival (25 August) brings choirs from all over the world to Arezzo. September closes with three appointments dedicated to the youngest members of the Nata Teatro’s ‘Briciole di Fiabe Summer Edition’: Ravanellina – una storia di verdura e libertà (10 September), Il Soldatino di Stagno (17 September) and Don Chisciotte – Storie di latta e di lotta (24 September).
