Cultural initiatives highlighted in Lecco and La Spezia

In Lecco, the Cerabino Pianoforti music shop has opened its premises to the amateur pop vocal group VoceVersa for rehearsals. The initiative, led by owner Roberto Cerabino, provides a stable practice space in the Pescarenico district after business hours to support local cultural promotion.

VoceVersa, which is currently recruiting new members across various vocal ranges, operates without a traditional conductor. Instead, the group receives technical guidance from vocal coach Diletta Longhi. Their repertoire consists of contemporary a cappella arrangements of artists such as David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, and The Rolling Stones.

In La Spezia, Edizioni Giacché has announced its 2027 calendar, which focuses on the city’s 19th-century history. The publication features historical photographs, including prominent coverage of the Palco della Musica. The calendar includes historical analysis by art historian Diego Savani, documenting landmarks such as Viale Garibaldi and the former Regie Poste palace.
