Event Details
A poetic and musical tribute to the Eternal City
To mark the 2500th anniversary of Naples’ legendary founding, the Vesuvius Ensemble presents a special concert: a musical journey through Naples past and present, alive in the verses and melodies of her greatest poets and composers.
Salvatore Di Giacomo, Libero Bovio, E.A. Mario, Ferdinando Russo, Raffaele Viviani – words that become song, emotion, memory.
This concert is a tribute to a millennial city – Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, French, Spanish, and profoundly Neapolitan – told through its refined and popular song traditions.
“2500 Napoli Millenaria” is not merely a collection of pieces: it is a sonic fresco of Neapolitan identity.
Love, the sea, sorrow, celebration, faith, hope: in every note, the echo of a civilization that has sung—unmistakably—for 25 centuries.
