"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.

Una barca di libri caccia al tesoro e il firma copie Tutto si può ballare di Marco Cellucci
18 July 2019
Come nei migliori racconti e nei libri d’avventura, sulle isole (a volte) si nascondono dei veri e propri tesori…
In questo caso i tesori sono appunto “una barca di libri”, che è anche il titolo di questa fantasiosa caccia al tesoro ispirata alle vicende del romanzo “Una spia in laguna”, scritto da Cristiano Meneghel e ambientato a Grado nel periodo di dominazione veneziana.
Squadre di giovani lettori si sfideranno in un avvincente avventura fatta di enigmi ed indizi che, volta dopo volta, li porteranno alla tappa successiva e finalmente alla conquista del “tesoro”.
Come si fa a partecipare?!?
Le iscrizioni possono essere effettuate alla Ludoteca (interno della spiaggia G.i.T.) entro e non oltre le ore 12:00 del 17 luglio.
La gara prenderà il via alle ore 15:00 del giorno dopo (giovedì 18 luglio) con la consegna delle buste con le prove alle squadre partecipanti.
Ad ogni tappa successiva l’organizzazione verificherà il corretto svolgimento delle prove e potrà far eseguire alle squadre un ulteriore gioco che permetterà di accumulare punti validi per la gara.
La conclusione del tutto sarà alle ore 18:30 al Velarium alla presenza del noto influencer Marco Cellucci, star di Tik Tok (ex Musical.ly) con 3 milioni e 800 mila follower (più 618 mila su instagram e 320 mila su yutube), una sorta di moderno Billy Elliot che, per l’occasione, autograferà il suo libro “Tutto si può ballare”.
