An original way to present the new call of the Lazio Region for the next City of Culture. An event that is an art experience in San Felice Circeo, in Porta del Parco at the Torre dei Templari for a weekend dedicated to art 'brought' from the sea 19 - 21 July 2019.
First, a brief introduction to the practice of 'Lo Stracquo' which for many centuries has characterized the lives of the people of San Felice Circeo, Ponza and Ventotene who are the Cities of Culture of Lazio in 2019. During periods of famine, people they went to the beach to look for something brought from the sea that could be useful.
In reality it was above all in the islands that at certain times of the year hunger pushed to seek help from the sea. And often the sea was generous.
Today the Stracquo by necessity has become an artistic moment and those who go to the beach do it to find inspiration to compose something inspirational.
A movement born with the Cala Felce di Ponza Association which becomes an occasion for an exhibition of artists and a reflection on the relationship between man and the sea. The sea today reports many other things that man has thrown unexpectedly, a plastic island has also been created in the Mediterranean and a reflection on the relationship between man and sea is more than ever a necessity.
Friday at 5:30 PM, on the occasion of the inauguration of the exhibition, the region will present the new call for the next City of Culture in the presence of the mayors of San Felice Circeo and Colleferro, leader of the winners of the 2018 and 2019 editions and in the presence by arch Luca Calselli who designed both winning projects.
Lo Stracquo di Circe - Art Experience is the prelude to the event to be held in Ponza in late August 2019.
