It has been long waiting in a corner in my room, and tonight it called me back… I’m not a guitar player, as you can see…, but i love the energy and the sounds i can find with it....

The hand that will lead the orchestra for the AngelicA international music festival along a 55-minute journey is Giorgio Magnanensi’s.
