Ghost poetry

 Anyone who knows the Baths of Caracalla is certainly aware of the disturbance they cause, even on a sunny day, multiplied a hundredfold in the Roman night. Ancient walls, gigantic, deserted ruins that bear witness to a golden age devoured by time. Pasolini portrays this place in several poems, a place abandoned after the Second World War, the scene of love markets, very different from the site found today by tourists curious about archaeology. The outcast humanity of the Italian capital roamed around those meadows in the darkness. Outcast but not guilty of any crime, simply made marginal by the power dynamics that tend to exclude from sight, from decorum, those who fall into poverty. A very current topic ever.

 Trionfo della notte is a staging of that phantasmagoria. Instruments and voices bring a waste soundscape to the surface. Words dissolved from meaning echo like ghosts of language. Music evokes the background hidden in the word, it directly articulates the sound image without pronouncing it, as in a ritual, first nature and then the human, which makes its appearance with disjointed words, as if spoken confusedly by that crowd of anonymous passers-by.

Trionfo della notte (2024)

Lo sviluppo del territorio Piceno passa anche dalla storica stazione termale di Acquasanta, che da decenni offre cure e trattamenti specifici per sanare tante patologie, ma che potrà diventare vero volano per lo sviluppo economico locale quando saranno completati i lavori di riqualificazione di tutto il complesso termale.

Ne abbiamo parlato con il Sindaco di Acquasanta Terme Sante Stangoni e con Pier Francesco Ferranti presidente delle “Nuove Terme di Acquasanta SpA” società proprietaria della struttura termale e alberghiera che gestisce le terme dal 1943.
