Lecco Promessi Sposi cultural festival

Overview

The city of Lecco has launched its autumn museum season, centered on the 18th edition of the ‘Lecco città dei Promessi Sposi’ festival. Running from October 2 to November 7, the festival explores themes of war, justice, and liberty inspired by the works of Alessandro Manzoni.

Activities include guided tours of Villa Manzoni and historic sites, academic discussions, musical performances, and theatrical dinners. The cultural program is supplemented by various museum exhibitions, such as a collection by Paolo Schiavocampo at Palazzo delle Paure and a photography exhibition of Moldova by Alessandro Grassani at Torre Viscontea.

Following an initial weekend that saw sold-out events and over 600 participants, the festival has transitioned into its ‘Fuori Festival’ phase. This extension is designed to provide ongoing opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with Manzoni’s literary heritage.

The expanded program includes educational workshops for primary schools at Villa Manzoni, such as ‘Semi di libertà’ and ‘La Villa degli enigmi.’ Scheduled events for October include the book presentation ‘Il menù dei Promessi Sposi’ at Taverna ai Poggi, followed by a ‘Cena Manzoniana,’ a themed dinner that combines gastronomy with theatrical performances inspired by Manzoni’s work.
