On June 29, 2024, the return of a year-long project was held on the Island of Gorgona, in which 20 choristers and 15 inmates prepared simultaneously at a distance on songs they sang together in a concert open to the public and conducted by maestro Cristiano Grasso.
For a year, the choristers met on the Foundation’s premises once a week, while the maestro traveled to the island to undertake lessons with the inmates.
On June 29, 2024, the concert took on the dimension of a unanimous choir, free of prejudice and extended in the sense that those present (guests on reservation and families of inmates) also participated in the singing restitution, all of whom were involved as if in a big party.
We renew our thanks to Professor Flavia Bertolli (cda member with responsibility for prison projects), the students of Liceo Niccolini Palli, in Pcto with the Foundation, maestro Cristiano Grasso, the choristers, prison choristers, families and guests in attendance.
Special thanks to Dr. Radice Barbara, head of the pedagogical treatment area of Gorgona Prison, Prison Director Giuseppe Renna and Foundation President,Knight Giovanni Laviosa.
