Puccinian Memories – Antico Caffè di Simo

Caffè di Simo has always been a meeting place for the citizens of Lucca and local artists also spent time there. Stimulating discussions often arose over a coffee on the most varied topics which could then be the starting point for a new artistic project, a new initiative, an innovative proposal but also just an opportunity for fun and entertainment, light and evanescent conversations.

The Dance Meeting Incursions will recall those moments of common life with a coffee, music, an improvised dance. Readings by Ilaria Cipriani. Singers: Boccherini Music Conservatory, Lwaxana Borghetti, Angelica D'Agliano, Elena Pinciaroli, sopranos. Anna Cognetta, piano. Dancers: Glenda D'Amanzo and Beatrice Busstone.
