Description: Milano: Electa, 2010. 26cm., pbk., 245pp. with numerous color photos. Italian-English text. Summary: Subdivided into various sections and accompanied by rich photographic content by Piero Tauro, the book looks back at the origins of the Festival through the memories of its founders. It reconstructs its history through some key themes, amongst others: dialog between different cultures, the role of the Foreign Academies in Rome, its rapport with the city, its history and venues, memory identity and modernity, research on the cutting edge, recognizing our roots and reflections about our own time, dialog between different generations, the masses and the cultured, how other people see us... - throwing light on the constant characteristics of the festival and highlighting the changes that have taken place over the years in terms of its planning, the choice of venues, the audience, and communication. Scholars, critics and experts from Italy and abroad, belonging to different generations, are asked to talk about Romaeuropa through the movies, theater, dance, the visual arts and music that the festival has offered the public in its 25-year-long life. The publication also describes how the Romaeuropa Festival has developed in the broader context of the European cultural stage, with articles that are intended to make us reflect on the contemporary scene, on the role of cultural institutions today and, in general, on the value of art in contemporary society. The book's gaze is, therefore, fixed on the present but also looks towards the future. As well as the Festival, it talks about the Romaeuropa Foundation's most recent projects, associated with the new technologies, and the Internet, demonstrating its ongoing curiosity about contemporary languages. The appendix to the book contains a list of the programs of the 25 Festivals: a useful archive to refer to and conserve.
