Spoleto ~ Festival of the two Worlds.
May 23, 2008 by Paul Dolphin · 5 Comments
The Spoleto Festival, known as Festival of the two Worlds, is organized every year between the end of June and mid-July in Spoleto, Italy in the heart of Umbria. Established in 1958 by Gian Carlo Menotti the Spoleto Festival became an annual event. Maestro Menotti personally chooses the artists to perform and like it’s counter part here in Charleston Spoleto features some of the top talent in the region.
The Spoleto Festival 2008, with the president artistic director Francis Menotti, is now a worldwide attraction that gives international exposure to this Umbrian city. It is important to remember the period during which the italo-American composer, already from 1956, is looking for an Italian city having the possibility and the characteristics to welcome the musical festival he wants to realize.
