Artistic culture and agricultural and food and wine culture come together in Anagni to delight audiences at the 30th Medieval and Renaissance Theater Festival thanks to Fuori Festival Anagni(www.fuorifestivalanagni.it).
This year's Fuori Festival Anagni expands to involve the city's producers, as well as local businesses that increasingly promote products from Anagni (but also from Alta Ciociaria).
The formula remains that of the classic three evenings dedicated to wines (Serata Rossa for Cesanese, Serata Bianca for Passerina and Serata Bollicine) but alongside the wines will be presented some of Anagni's products such as mozzarella, cheeses, cured meats, bread with traditional grains, oil and other delicacies that we are not yet revealing.
The evenings involved are August 25, 26 and 27 starting at 7 p.m. in Innocent III Square.
The real novelty will then be the positioning of the Fuori Festival, which this year ideally embraces the famous theater review with appointments before the show and tastings after the show.
The events begin in Innocent III Square at 7 p.m. with an interview space where producers, artisans and even some Anagnini who have shown a deep love for their city will be interviewed. All interviews will be collected and will then be promoted on social media in the days following the Festival to continue to enliven Anagni's food and wine culture and to make its protagonists more and more known.
The interviews end just before the play and then resume after the performance.
This year we have also involved actors who for the 30th anniversary of the famous festival will come to tell their stories and their relationship with Anagni. In this edition the actors will have a more important space and we will make pills to send on social networks to make Anagni more and more famous as a real capital of culture.
The presentation of the Anagni Fuori Festival will be made during the opening night where Mayor Daniele Natalia, Cultural Councilor Carlo Marino and Anagni Product Promotion Councilor Anna de Lellis will open the theatrical review.
The playbill of the 30th Medieval and Renaissance Theater Festival is particularly rich thanks to the well-established artistic direction Giacomo Zito, theoretical-critical direction Gaetano D'Onofrio and technical direction Peppino Scandorcia. This is a team that has proven its worth and has received awards of merit in past editions.
The essential arm and co-protagonist of the entire review is the Pro Loco of Anagni, with its splendid headquarters in the medieval palace right in the center of Innocent III Square and a reference point for all visitors to the city.
