¡Flamenco! returns. Following the break last season, the Italian festival holds its second edition. And it does so in grand fashion, with a lineup highlighted by leading figures of today’s flamenco such as Estrella Morente, Miguel Poveda, Israel Galván, Jorge Pardo, Belén Maya, Pitingo and Mayte Martín, among others. The finishing touch will be provided on September 22nd by Manolo Sanlúcar, following twelve days of jondo art at Auditorium Parco Della Musica. The program is completed with the exhibit ‘Flamenco: Paisaje del alma’ (‘Flamenco: Landscape of the Soul’) by photographer Gilles Larrain and baile workshops.
