VIVERE IL PARCO 2019

Events and initiatives in the most important historical park of the Province of Trento

With its thirteen hectares of parkland and around 570 majestic trees, Levico Spa Park is the most important historic park in the province of Trento. Its history dates back to the end of the 19th century and is closely linked to the establishment of Lévico Terme as a spa town of European standing.

The project drawn up by the German landscape gardener Georg Ziehl (1873 - 1953) transformed an area of countryside where a large hotel was sited, together with its accompanying treatment centres, into an extensive parkland site enhanced by a range of tree species; a Kurort combing spa treatments with walks, heliotherapy and relaxation.

In the summer the Levico SpA Park is animated by several events and initiatives to discover the beauty of the botanical garden.

Let's discover the Live the Park new edition together.

GRAINES Photo Exhibition

The inspiration for the Graines Photo exhibition is given by the homonymous book published by 5 Continents Editions in 2016.
The volume contains 200 photographs of seeds made by Paul Starosta, biologist and photographer of international renown. Such images become an inevitable pretext to talk about beauty, nature and art. Shapes, colors, unexpected details become the occasion to reflect on nature's creativity, to be amazed by the complexity of the infinitely small and the secrets linked to biodiversity.
The seeds, embryos of new life, celebrate the rebirth in the place of the park that was most damaged by the hurricane at the end of October 2018, whose lost identity is remembered in a panoramic photograph.

It will be the poetry set to music, the harmonious search, the profound melodicity that acts as a trait d'union with the warm and velvety harmonica of Max De Aloe, recognized for years as one of the most intense and active chromatic harmonists in Europe.
A repertoire that includes the wonderful compositions of Enrico Pieranunzi, embellished by some musical tributes dedicated to Bill Evans and Chet Baker, with whom Pieranunzi has long collaborated.

The delicate and warm tone of the guitar points without frills at the heart of the emotion, without ever losing sight of the centrality of communicating and the desire to put the colors of sound at the service of the dialogue between the artist and the public, in the relationship between instrument and music.
Roberto Taufic, guitar

Sunday, August 11, 9:00 pm, DIVINA EUTERPE - Composers at the court
c / o natural amphitheater
In the eighteenth century music played an important role in the education of noble women who learned to sing or play an instrument. However, they could not pursue the profession of musician, because a woman exhibiting virtuosity and creativity in public was considered an equivocal attitude.
Few works composed of women of this period have come down to us and the surviving ones show that their music was of high quality. This program is a tribute to these women and their music: Anna Amalia by Hohenzollern and Wilhelmina von Bayreuth, sisters of Frederick II of Prussia. Anna Bon, worked at the court of Frederick II and in the court of Esterhazy. Elisabetta de Gambarini, singer and organist, her reputation allowed her to organize her own concerts and publish her music.
Michele Favaro, transverse flute
Marlise Goidanich, baroque cello
Emma Bolamperti, harpsichord

Saturday, August 17th, at sunset 6.15, VOCAL GROUP LAURENCE K. J. FEININGER
c / o sequoia installation
At the threshold of light, the vocal group proposes a concert from the vast repertoire of sacred music. The rhythmic, melodic and interpretative novelties of the liturgical chant proposed by the group, after careful study of the manuscript and printed liturgical books, are absolutely unpublished in the panorama of engravings and concerts dedicated to Gregorian chant and reveal a hidden face of the musical treasure of the Catholic tradition.
Voices: Roberto Gianotti, Marco Gozzi, Salvatore De Salvo Fattore

Thursday, August 22, 6.00 pm, THE MAGIC FLUTE
Show for children and families - Taken from the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The Magic Flute is a timeless musical work: a fascinating folk tale in its poetry that includes different levels of reading: adventure, symbiosis with nature, brotherhood and love among men.
Arrangements for three bass horns from the Tribsterill Trio.
Text freely taken from the libretto of Emanuel Schikaneder
Beatrix Graf - Pamina, the three ladies, the queen of the night, Papagena
Roberto Alotti - Tamino, Monostat.

Saturday August 31st at 6:00 pm, BAROQUE MUSIC CONCERT - TIED & NYCKLED PROJECT
c / o natural amphitheater
The trio features lesser-known pieces by French baroque composers such as Robert de Visée, Marain Marais, François Couperin and plays these melodies transforming them with personal arrangements and interpretations.
Among the proposals there are typical dances such as the Passacaglia, the Ciaccona or the Rondò, passages and structures that allow the improvisation of single musicians. In the Baroque period these dances were used exclusively in the field of classical music and were proposed in the most diverse contexts. The tools of this training are truly unique, instruments that have survived for the love of individual musicians and we find them in this project with a unique and eternal sound.

International Carlo Scarpa Prize for Gardens (XXX edition, 2019)
At the foot of the mountain of Dazhangshan, in China, a vast system of hilly reliefs, more or less steep, welcomes in this region the cultivation of tea: undulating fields, unmistakable for the orderly design of the plantations that run in the form of parallel hedges, and stretches interrupt the covering of the wooded mantle or the expanse of the rice fields in the valley bottoms.
The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) - which in this area of ​​China has had much of its historical origins - gives shape and substance to a contemporary landscape that has been able to gather the sense of history and to project into the future the value of a rural environment in which man establishes a relationship of harmony with nature ''. Taken from the presentation by Fond.Benetton Studi Richerche.
