For five days the village of Cerisano breathed the rhythm of art, transforming itself into an open -air theater that has been able to combine music, entertainment and community. The 31st edition of the Serre Festival ended with a balance that speaks alone: twenty thousand appearances considered, fifty shows, a hundred artists and seventy technicians engaged in making an experience unique that once again reported the country at the center of the Calabrian cultural scene.
The atmosphere that enveloped alleys and squares told a mosaic of emotions, with the jazz that touched the most intimate strings thanks to the interpretations of Simona Molinari, Mario Rosini, John Patitucci, the Servillo-Girotto-Mangalavite and Walter Ricci trio, and with the theater that alternated laughter and reflections thanks to Dario Bandiera, Maurizio Casagrande, Andrea Rivera, Turci with Gino Castaldo and Paolo Conticini. Next to them, the cinema under the stars collected the families with their children, the workshops and the children’s shows have turned on the imagination of the little ones, while the DJ sets of Spiral Sound and the concerts of the Live Agora held a awake at night, prolonging the magic of the festival over every time.
Cerisano has once again shown its ability to welcome and transform art into shared experience, giving visitors a journey that has passed through the flavors of traditions, the beauty of the places and the joy of being together. A success that is not measured only in numbers, although extraordinary, but also in the digital echo of a community that grows and is known beyond its borders: hundreds of thousands of views and interactions on Instagram and Facebook have accompanied the Festival, making it an event participated inside and outside the village that continues to enchant and amaze.
The 31st edition of the Serre Festival therefore leaves a profound sign, that of a country that for thirty -one years has kept and renews its cultural vocation, which moves between memory and future, and which every summer knows how to reinvent itself as a place of meeting and beauty.
