12 & 17 December: The Orcia Valley in Tuscany is a World Heritage site. Luca Manghi tells about its importance in Renaissance painting and architecture, and in the very Italian concept of the Piazza. We’ll play excerpts from “A Romance of Orcia’ for flute and piano, by contemporary Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi (the mysterious woman in pink). This is a piece that Luca Manghi (flute) and Madoka Ochi (piano) presented in the New Zealand premiere, in a concert organized by Cartolina on 21 September 2007 at the Chapel of the Music Centre.
26 & 31 December: The farewell address of HE the Italian Ambassador, Dr Liana Marolla, recorded on the eve of her return to Italy. Dr Marolla has been a keen supporter of Cartolina and all the activities of our Dante Society. (interview in Italian and English)
9 & 14 January 2008: Sentiero degli Dei (Pathway of the Gods) is the wonderful walk on the Amalfi Coast that Denis Walker has done recently, and now he’s telling us all about it. Narrow staircases, large hospitality, Italian poetry and friendship, scent of lemons: what an exhilarating mix!
