Eugenio Della Chiara takes us to the pulsating heart of Andalusia, where the guitar becomes the voice of the Spanish landscape. The program is a journey through the colors and mysteries of Manuel de Falla and Joaquín Turina, masters in transforming flamenco rhythms into refined art music.

From the energetic dances of El sombrero de tres picos to the hypnotic atmospheres of El amor brujo, the guitar evokes flames, Mediterranean winds, and ancient legends. Turina then closes the circle with the vitality of Seville, between the steps of the Fandanguillo and the Sevillana.

With his touch, Della Chiara transforms every string into a vibrant narrative, transporting the audience of the splendid Sala dei Cavalli at Palazzo Te into a captivating Spanish night of passion, light, and shadow.
