PESARO – We are here and “emotions are high, we can hardly wait,” as Mayor Matteo Ricci says. Adrenaline, polish and a pinch of superstition. Gentlemen in carriages. This morning the year of Pesaro as Italian Capital of Culture begins with the inauguration ceremony by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, the great protagonist, welcomed “like a rock star” (Ricci's words again) by about 8,000 Vitrifrigo (including 2,000 students). From 11 a.m. the curtain rises with an extraordinary presenter, the versatile Paolo Bonolis.
The program
The inauguration ceremony will be broadcast live on Rai3 and streaming from 11:15 a.m. While we wait for the Head of State to arrive in Vallefoglia after the ribbon-cutting at the Auditorium Giovanni Santi (and Mayor Palmiro Ucchielli is delighted), the Olimpia Orchestra will lead the way. It is an all-female formation that was created in 2018 from an idea by Roberta Pandolfi and Francesca Perrotta and consists exclusively of women. He will have the task of brightening the morning, starting with the anthem of Mameli in the presence of President Mattarella, followed by the symphony “La Gazza Ladra” by Rossini. The musical moment will be followed by institutional welcomes with the Mayor Matteo Ricci, the President of the Region Francesco Acquaroli, the Councilor for Beauty Daniele Vimini and the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano. Then the special testimonials (but Senator for Life Liliana Segre won't be there). There will be no shortage of special effects in the video performance that will involve the audience and will be projected onto the steps of the arena with “The Human Cell Atlas” in collaboration with CERN in Geneva, an artistic self-portrait of humanity with artificial intelligence and big data. A project that brought together an international community of biologists, clinicians, physicists, scientists, software developers and mathematicians. The long-awaited speech by the head of state ends.
What happens
After the morning the gates will be opened again for the concerts from 4 p.m. Max Gazzè will be the first to perform at 5 p.m., followed by Mirco Casadei's orchestra at 8 p.m. At the end of the evening from 10.30 p.m. “Once a Year”, a paid show with a performance by Rosa Chemical, musicians and DJs. On the social network, the preview greeting from Mirko Casadei: “Our eight elements of the Popoular Folk Orchestra will give joy and lightness – said Casadei in his video message – my return to Pesaro comes just a few months after the summer event The Night.” of candles. But this will be a completely different atmosphere and a completely different feeling. An incredible and unforgettable day for everyone. We will be there with our classics and celebrations of our country's popular culture.” Rosa Chemical also sent a greeting to the city. This will be his performance between extravagance, freedom to express diversity, rap and trap, and the musical taste of “Generation Z”. Yesterday, after the debut of Claudio Baglioni's tour, which attracted 10,000 spectators, Vitrifrigo worked nonstop to set up the presidential stage and the shows. A large LED wall, on which video projections, special effects and actors flow, provides choreography and scenography. Not only the organized machine, but also the ordering service is impressive.
The prefecture
Last night, the Provincial Supervisory Commission for Public Entertainment Places, coordinated by the Prefecture, met in Vitrifrigo to check compliance with the event's safety regulations. “I am sure,” emphasized Prefect Emanuela Saveria Greco, “of the commitment of everyone who contributed to the realization of the day and, above all, of the enthusiasm of the citizens and the many boys and girls who will take part and wait with them. “ “I am very happy about the visit of our President, the opening event will be an exciting challenge for the entire community.” Very strict timetables due to Quirinal ceremonies and security issues: This morning you have entry at 10 a.m. and to get to the arena, we recommend We use the shuttle buses that leave San Decenzio every 15 minutes from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.
