They return, to Loano, i Culture Tuesday, larassegna summer festival dedicated to books, poetry and music, promoted by the’Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the City of Loano and organized by the I.So THeatre.
It will be the Prince's Garden, to host the review, every Tuesday, at 6 p.m.. The meetings with the author, led by Graziella Frasca Gallowill be accompanied by the musical notes of Maestro Roberto Sinito.
The July 7, opening the reading event will be the presentation of the book “Lodani mirabilia - The Wonders of Loano” curated by art expert Claudia Ghiraldello. The book, which in itself brings together the characteristics of an art text and a Loano discovery guide, as the title well defines, highlights special aspects of the city, which arouse wonder, particularly in the art-historical sphere. Some already edited and shared, others unpublished. This is because in her path as an art expert and author of art texts Ghiraldello has always favored researching and publishing elements never before found, never before known. And at Loano there are many unpublished realities that the author wanted to include in her research. These are religious works: statues, wall paintings, canvases, panels, even some buildings themselves, never before this work analyzed. But it is also about works of art traced in places of secular character, in particular we refer to the complex of works preserved and here for the first time disclosed within private mansions. The great Loano lineages, Carrara house, Maccagli house, Garrassini Garbarino house, Molle house, Olivieri house, of which the author had the privilege of studying the relevant dwellings, proved to be a valuable treasure chest of data opened here for the first time.
In the book a chapter a is devoted to the township of Verzi, once an autonomous municipality and later incorporated into Loano. The focus is on the complex of churches and chapels preserved here. During the research work, the author traced names of artists and patrons, dates, events, and emotions of a past time that she has resurfaced. A few pages are then devoted to the museum of the sea housed in the Kursaal Palace, where there are grand testimonies of Lovran's seafaring industry. History is intertwined with ethnography, and an exciting picture emerges.
The book was edited by Amadeo of Chiusanico, Imperia.
