"Viva Fiorenza is a tribute to Florence by some Florentine artists coordinated by Luca Romagnoli and the flautist and performer Cristina Italiani.

"The piece is a sound journey in the historic center of Florence which is a UNESCO heritage site: the sound of the Martinella of the bell of the Florence Cathedral with its symbolic value of freedom, a famous Florentine song played live by the harpist Annalisa De Sanctis and Cristina Italiani to the texts of Dante read live by professor Lorenzo Bastida accompanied by the sound of the Arno river. The journey ends with the famous Calcio Fiorentino for a return to a new renaissance of peace, art and freedom with the cry Viva Fiorenza!"

Calcio storico, Florence reimagined by Cristina Italiani and Luca Romagnoli.
