Presentation

A cultural exchange between Corsica and Naples

AltaLeghje is organizing Les Rencontres Culturelles (Cultural Encounters) in the authentic setting of Altagène, a small mountain village nestled in the heart of Alta Rocca.

What makes this festival unique is the simplicity and spontaneity of the exchanges between the public and professionals from the cultural world, whether they are writers, filmmakers, or journalists.

But the spirit of the Rencontres is also about taking time: time for a literary siesta in the shade of mulberry trees or for a film screening in the cool of the evening.

The full program will be online very soon, but we can already announce the following events:
Meetings with Corsican and Neapolitan authors
Folk songs and dances: the world of Tammuriata
Discussions with a volcanologist and a geologist about Vesuvius
Film evening dedicated to Roberto Rossellini
Theater evening “passa é vené” in the world of Erri de Luca
A time for Corsican and Neapolitan poetry
Themed hikes and other performances
Two exhibitions
Presentation of the current excavations at Pompeii
The historical links between Corsica and Naples in the Middle Ages, the formation of Pasquale Paoli, the artistic influence of Caroline Bonaparte, and more.

The association will celebrate its 10th anniversary at the opening of the festival with a big party featuring concerts, singing, dancing, and more.
