Lucca Unesco Club Visit "For Dreams and for Chimeras & # 39;

Even the Unesco Club in Lucca visits the exhibition of the Ragghianti Foundation For dreams and chimeras. Giacomo Puccini and the visual arts. The delegation was welcomed yesterday and welcomed with an exceptional guide: the director of the foundation (and co-curator of the exhibition) Paolo Bolpagni. The visit sparked appreciation and enthusiasm. This exhibition is certainly the most important one organized by the Ragghianti Foundation in recent years (it has just received the share of 3,000 visitors). It is the fruit of a long research work and presents to the public a great number of truly remarkable works – obtained thanks to exceptional loans – which will be really difficult to see together.

In addition, a new image of Giacomo Puccini emerges, not only a great composer, but a cultured connoisseur and art lover, a refined collector and member of many painters and sculptors, already from his Milanese years . In addition to what, until now, very little known, himself a cartoonist and caricaturist for pleasure
The Club for UNESCO of Lucca, as stated in the note published for the 39 occasion, considers that this large and important exhibition of the Ragghianti Foundation can contribute the consolidation of a citizen system centered on the figure of Puccini, who could become for Lucca what Mozart is for Salzburg and Wagner for Bayreuth. A path that is not simple, perspective, but to continue with conviction, spirit and common purpose, also to take into consideration the candidacy of Lucca in the network of City of Creative Music .
