An incredibly evocative location where Jazz music is married with the monumental garden from the early eighteenth century. Pfanner Palace is the setting and protagonist, a symphony of shapes and colors to amplify the experience of a unique festival.

After more than a decade of artistic partnership, one of the most original interpreters of Italian song and five great jazz musicians come together to tackle the poetic universe of Lucio Battisti.

“We decided with Pensieri e parole to reinterpret the most intimate, lyrical and personal author of Italian song, Lucio Battisti. Popular and sophisticated, Italian and lonely, builder and inventor of a song that remains intimately the heritage of all, crossing different sensibilities and musical thoughts. Singing his songs again, from Mogol to Panella, is the chance

for us to reread one of our minor and daily histories that so much suggests and moves us” (Peppe Servillo) A particularly demanding challenge because of the absolute uniqueness of the repertoire: the originality of the songs, their being so different from each other in music and lyrics, so steeped in an inexhaustible compositional vein, could make the task of tackling them without making them true “covers” arduous.

Girotto’s arrangements and Peppe Servillo’s theatrical genius succeed in tracing a new, evocative and unexpected path through twenty great Battisti songs. A journey full of Latin flavors, enveloping rhythms, history, emotions and great pathos.

From “Il mio canto libero” to “Penso a te,” the mastery of Peppe Servillo, Rita Marcotulli, Javier Girotto, Fabrizio Bosso, Furio di Castri and Mattia Barbieri is at the service of this extraordinary author, breaking down the boundaries that separate the world of song from that of jazz and improvisation to bring the audience into open territory: that of great music and the magic of sounds.
