Abbazia di San Galgano |
|
| 30 km to the West of Siena |
|
The monumental complex of Saint Galgano rises approximately 30 km to the West of Siena, to the border with the province of Grosseto, between the villages of Monticiano and Chiusdino, in a wild and unspoilt landscape, rich in nature beauties.
Two roads of great historical and economic importance pass here, the “Massetana” that connects Siena with the Sea, crossing Massa Marittima and the Metalliferous Hills and the ancient “Maremmana Road” that joints the center of Tuscany with Grosseto.
The Abbey of Saint Galgano has represented throughout the centuries an important stop and point of reference for travelers, pilgrims and people of every kind in the Val di Merse area, which was densely populated, rich in parish churches, castles, villages, churches and monasteries and that extends among the municipalities of Monticiano, Chiusdino, Murlo and Sovicille.

The Tuscan Sun Festival 30 July-6 Aug 2010 |
|
| Cortona, Tuscany, Italy |
|
Welcome to the Tuscan Sun Festival!
The Tuscan Sun Festival is an annual music and art festival that takes place within the intimate setting of the medieval town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany. The August festival offers an exciting program that includes not only world class concerts, but a daily program of events that explore fine art, film, culinary and wine, fitness and wellness, and local culture and history.
Each evening, concerts featuring some of the world's most distinguished artists are performed in the intimate setting of the Romantic-period theatre, Teatro Signorelli. The steps of Teatro Signorelli spill into the atmospheric open-air Piazza Signorelli, which transforms for two nights into the venue for musical galas under the stars.
For 2010, we’re delighted to present the husband and wife team Sting and Trudie Styler together on stage in Twin Spirits: an unique and intimate live theatrical performance by a chamber ensemble of actors, singers and musicians, portraying the deep and ultimately tragic love between the composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck.
Following their spectacular appearance at the 2009 festival, principal dancers of the American Ballet Theater, Maxim Beloserkovsky and Irina Dvorovenko (Max and Irina) return to the Festival to present a Ballet Gala: Stars of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky.
With a musical programme boasting some of the world’s most distinguished artists, the Festival opens with an Opera Gala, featuring the winner of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, Russian soprano Ekaterina Scherbachenko, together with tenor Marcello Giordani, supported by the Orchestra della Toscana. GRAMMY award-winning diva soprano, Reneé Fleming, appears in Piazza Signorelli for an evening of beautiful arias, together with Alberto Veronesi and the Orchestra del Festival Puccini with the participation of young composer and conductor Anthony Arcaini. Violin superstar Joshua Bell returns to the Festival with his long-time collaborator, Gramophone award-winning cellist Steven Isserlis, and Italian actor/director Gabriele Lavia delivers an evening of monologues called "Il Sogno di un uomo ridicolo" (The Dream of a Ridiculous Man), by Fyodor Dostoevsky, supported by harpist Cecilia Chailly.
Every year, the Tuscan Sun Festival is host to a visual artist. This year we are excited to present an exhibition by the New York urban artist DAZE. In addition to his exhibition, DAZE will create art works in a public space during the festival. DAZE will also give an interview as part of our ‘Conversation with an Artist’ series, led by prominent writer/speaker, and Festival regular, Matthew Gurewitsch.
The programme is balanced with daytime events and this year’s line-up is more adventurous than ever. Trudie Styler and James D'Silva will lead a dynamic, empowering yoga and pilates workout. During a second Festival Event on biodynamic Wine, Ms. Styler will be on a panel together with the distinguished wine critic James Suckling as they will describe the process involved in creating biodynamic wine. James Suckling will also lead a Wine & Cuisine event new to the 2010 Festival, “Masters of Wine”. This year’s event will be an exclusive tasting of Brunello Riserva 2004, followed by a Michelin-starred dinner at Il Falconiere, featuring its chef, Silvia Baracchi. Many more festival events take place daily encompassing film, wellness, cuisine, art workshops and dance.
