Arts challenging the future. Cividale del Friuli has finally welcomed the 30th edition of Mittelfest, the festival of the arts (dance, music, theatre) that started yesterday, 27th August and will go on until September 5th with a varied progamme of events. Today the opening ceremony will be attended by Giacomo Pedini, Mittelfest artistic director, Mittelfest president Roberto Corciulo, Friuli Venezia Giulia president Massimiliano Fedriga, the regional cultural deputy Tiziana Gibelli, Cividale's mayor Daniela Bernardi and Slovenia's president Borut Pahor.
This year's theme is “Eredi” (Heirs): famed Italian and international artists will perform on stage as well as new talents. “This thirtieth anniversary of the festival coincides with one of the most difficult moments in recent human history. The global challenge of the pandemic has united and raised new walls and borders between countries. Then it became all the more important on this anniversary, which falls "in the middle of the journey of our life", as Dante would say, whose 700th anniversary of death is celebrated this year, to confirm the original vocation of the festival, as it was born in 1991 after the fall of the Berlin Wall. That is to make culture a bridge to unite, to give everyone new strength, passion and foresight " said Mittelfest president Roberto Corciulo.
