During the festival, Castelluccio, the
medieval castle where the musicians live and work, will host exhibitions
including 'Canopos, fibulae, vases of the VIIth and VIth
centuries BC', a collection of the truly exceptional Etruscan finds from
the digs at the necropolis of Tolle/Castelluccio unearthed over the
course of the past year.What will
the weather be like?
What
kinds of people go on Living Italy tours? Although this itinerary is aimed particularly at people who are interested in
music, the interests of Living Italy groups are usually wide-ranging -
history, fine arts, music, architecture, food, reading etc. The age of
group members varies greatly, but most would be more than forty years
old and have travelled. With a maximum of twenty places on
the tour the group is large enough for you to find like-minded friends,
but small enough for us to get to know you all.
How fit do I
have to be? In order to visit and enjoy the natural attractions of
the countryside and the historical centres of towns it is necessary to
be able to walk well, as bus and car access can be difficult. While
there are no medical restrictions on who may book a place on the tour,
you should be fit enough to stroll for periods of up to an hour (with
short breaks) and you should specially note that the towns are not
called 'hilltowns' for nothing! Wherever possible we break up walking
tours with coffee stops and extended lunches and we have tried to mix
busy and relaxed days in the itinerary, and to have late morning or
afternoon starts after evening performances. Remember that it is always
possible to take time off from the program whenever you like. |
