The "Pisa Scotto Festival" returns to the Scotto Garden with a new edition to be discovered. The live event festival, initiated by the City of Pisa and the Pisa Theater Foundation and produced by Artitaly, is in its second edition this year and will be staged from June 1 to 29. The schedule of scheduled events was presented this morning, May 23, with a press conference at Palazzo Gambacorti, in the presence of the councilor for culture of the City of Pisa, Pierpaolo Magnani, the president of the Fondazione Teatro di Pisa, Patrizia Paoletti Tangheroni, and the artistic director and events coordinator of the "Pisa Scotto Festival," Massimiliano Simoni and Francesca Petrucci.
The events, which again this year have free admission, will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and will range from culture to entertainment, from current events to politics to sports, with special attention reserved for children and families.
An important novelty this year concerns the tastings that have been made... in four! and that will be not only of wines, but also of craft beers and typical local products. Also triple the weekly event for the little ones.
Each afternoon is dedicated to a specific theme: Tuesday and Saturday feature literary meetings, with book presentations accompanied by musical interludes. Wednesday and Friday feature theater and entertainment, for children and adults. Thursday is dedicated to tastings and presentations of local excellence. In parallel in the children's air every Tuesday and Saturday there are recreational and educational activities for young children.
Four evenings are dedicated to tastings, which will have as protagonists "The most straightforward Pisans" providing presentation and tasting of wines from our hills, curated by journalist Elisa Bani and realized in collaboration with FISAR - Federazione Italiana Sommelier Albergatori e Ristoratori - Historical Delegation of Pisa. An evening will instead be dedicated to craft beer, curated by the PuroMalto Tasting Group. Also planned is a tribute to the recently deceased Pisan artist Andrea Paggiaro, known to the general public as Tuono Pettinato.
The festival, also designed for families and children, features performances and playful educational activities with three weekly events. Every Wednesday, theatrical performances for children ... of all ages, while on Tuesdays and Saturdays, also starting at 5:30 p.m., in the large and shady green area of the Garden, "STORIES, WORDS, COLORS AND FANTASY" animations, readings and art by the Il Gabbiano Association and GabbianoArte will be staged.
During the literary encounters there will be a book space curated by Mariangela Mori's Civic 14 Bookstore, the photo reportage is by Nicola Gronchi. Media partners of the Festival will be the Tuscan culture portal Toscanalibri.it and Sestaporta.news.it.
