On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Buzzati Garden Festival, the celebrations for this important milestone will begin.
Starting at 6:00 p.m., there will be a food area where dishes and specialties curated by local producers can be enjoyed.
At 7:30 p.m., the live performance Orfeo, by and with Angelo Trabace, a piano concert, will be presented.
Angelo Trabace is a pianist, author, and composer. In 2021, he released Sbarco, his first solo album, through Sugar Music Publishing.
In 2022, together with his brother Alessandro Trabace and Sebastiano De Gennaro, he was among the founders of the experimental project Metameccanici and participated in music collectives.
In 2025, he composed the original score for the feature film Orfeo by Virgilio Villoresi, which premiered at the 82nd Venice Film Festival and was selected for the short-list in the “composer” category of the 2026 David di Donatello awards.
At 9:15 p.m., the film Orfeo, directed by Virgilio Villoresi and distributed by Double Line, freely adapted from “Poema a Fumetti” by Dino Buzzati, will be screened.
The film was presented out of competition at the Venice Film Festival in September 2025.
The screening will take place outdoors in the garden of Villa Buzzati, and in case of rain, it will be held in the Barn of Villa Buzzati.
Virgilio Villoresi is a director and visual artist who combines cinema, animation, and craftsmanship in a personal and distinctive language.
His work arises from a deep dialogue with historical avant-gardes, experimental cinema, and author animation, with references ranging from Maya Deren to Kenneth Anger, Patrick Bokanowski to Jan Lenica, and Jean Cocteau to Paolo Gioli.
Admission to the event is free.
