"Medea 50 Pier Paolo Pasolini, Maria Callas e Grado" exhibition
15 June 2019
50 years after the making of the film Medea, by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Grado remembers the passage in the lagoon of the great Friulian director, Maria Callas and the whole crew that contributed to the production of the film, between July and August 1969. Many days of work to fix 14 minutes of filming on the celluloid that gave the Island of the Sun and its natural environment to international attention and the history of cinema.
To remember the great director, the City of Grado has planned to set up a photographic exhibition in the foyer of the former Crystal Cinema, the historic headquarters of the city, where the film was presented and where, later, Pasolini himself gave rise to numerous important film events. The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, June 15, aims to illustrate the meeting between artistic creation and the lagoon territory and to return the unique film situation linked to a director and an exceptional cast, ranging from Maria Callas to Giuseppe Gentile, from Laurent Terzieff to Massimo Girotti: all circumstances that helped to build the combination Medea-Grado. Among the materials on display will have a fundamental part of the images of Mario Tursi, photographer of the scene, which will be reproduced on large panels. Posters, posters and photos will be presented, as well as original envelopes of "Medea" and period materials linked to the diffusion of the film in the cinemas and on printed paper; all linked by panels with texts useful for the overall reading of the events narrated in the exhibition. The exhibition will then be accompanied by poetic and literary texts in which Pasolini described the lagoon and the processing of the film, from the letters of Maria Callas to Pasolini himself, from the stories of the Friulian artist, Giuseppe Zigaina, a great friend of Pasolini, dedicated to the film.
RIAPRE il REPARTO SABBIATURE con alcuni giorni di anticipo...tutta salute
27 June 2019
La Grado Impianti Turistici SpA informa che (da giovedì 27 Giugno) riapre il reparto SABBIATURE, il tutto in anticipo rispetto al cronoprogramma e in virtù della STRAORDINARIA situazione Meteo: la scalata del CALDO che galoppa in questo fine Giugno e che diventerà ECCEZIONALE a Luglio.
Il reparto è stato allestito in anticipo offrendo così l'opportunità ai numerosi e fedelissimi ospiti di godere di alcuni giorni in più di SALUTE con la sabbia.
Il termine sabbiature, Psammatoterapia, richiama immediatamente “Grado l’isola del sole centro termale marino”.
Le sabbiature raggiungono a Grado risultati che non hanno assolutamente paragoni, sia per le caratteristiche della sabbia, purissima e ricca di sali benefici, sia per l’ottimale e unica collocazione degli stabilimenti GIT, su un arenile che è il solo dell’alto Adriatico ad essere totalmente rivolto a Sud.
Per PSAMMATOTERAPIA si intende un metodo di cura consistente nell’applicazione sul corpo di sabbia riscaldata un bagno di sabbia. In Medicina Termale “applicazione terapeutica di sabbia marina in ambiente marino”
La psammatoterapia è una prerogativa di Grado: dai primordiali bagni di sabbia dei nostri bisnonni alla sofisticata gamma di prestazioni curative offerte oggi negli stabilimenti GIT, un lungo cammino servito ad accumulare un’esperienza univoca, ampiamente riconosciuta in campo medico e promossa anche dagli atleti: infatti a partire dagli anni ‘60 i migliori calciatori italiani amano abbinare alla pura vacanza un momento di cura per usufruire dei benefici delle sabbiature. Nel reparto è allestito un “angolo relax”.
REQUISITI DI ACCESSO
Si accede, previa visita medica obbligatoria e muniti di tessera magnetica («badge») rilasciata da GIT, trattamento e abbonamento per 6 o 12 sedute.
La visita medica si effettua, esclusivamente a seguito di prenotazione dalle ore 9.00 alle ore 11.00:
- dal lunedì al sabato, negli ambulatori dello Stabilimento Termale
- nei giorni festivi negli ambulatori dello Stabilimento Psammatoterapico.
ORARIO DI APERTURA DELLO STABILIMENTO
dalle ore 10.30 alle 15.30 (festivi compresi).
La “sabbiatura” sarà possibile, compatibilmente con le condizioni meteorologiche e al raggiungimento della temperatura della sabbia, dalle ore 11.30 alle 14.30 max.
