Notti di Mezza Estate - Un amore triestino

Midsummer Nights is a series that weaves together words, music, and theatre under the stars, set in two “stages of emotions and beauty”: the park of the Church of Santa Maria del Mare and the garden of the Church of San Zaccaria.
Now in its fifth edition, with artistic direction by Mario Brandolin, the programme follows an artistic path dedicated to the most universal of feelings: love.
From famous letters to literary tales, from theatrical recitals to concerts spanning tango, jazz, and soundtracks, each event explores a different shade of love: passionate, ironic, romantic, disillusioned.

Alongside prominent actors, writers and artists, the Filarmonici Friulani Youth Orchestra is a key presence throughout the programme, featuring in musical readings and ensemble concerts.
Midsummer Nights is a project by the Municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro and the Filarmonici Friulani Youth Orchestra.
All events start at 9:00 PM.

FREE ADMISSION

The second event of the Notti di Mezza Estate series, titled "A Triestine Love", will take place on Tuesday, July 22 at Santa Maria del Mare Church in Lignano Sabbiadoro at 9:00 PM.
Daniela Galeazzi and Giuseppina Minchella, in conversation with Mario Brandolin, will present the novel "Le verità pericolose" ("Dangerous Truths").
It is the compelling story of a great love set against the backdrop of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. Rubén, a young man from Trieste and an early supporter of fascism, volunteers for Mussolini's African campaign. Faced with the horrors and tragedies of war, he is forced to question all his beliefs and develops a new awareness of life and the world.
In case of rain, the event will take place at the Municipal Library.
