Alexandria. A bold, ambitious project, promoted by Municipality of Ricaldone with the support of Savings Bank Foundation of Alessandria, provides for the relaunch of the House Museum dedicated to Luigi Tenco in the country of Reheat in the province of Alessandria, the artist's birthplace.
The current structure, made in 2006 at almost 40 years old since the artist's premature death (1967), which currently collects the collection of records, photos, texts and portraits of the singer-songwriter, will be affected by a relaunch program of international importance taking the name of Tenco Museum House of Songwriters and will be inaugurated between spring andsummer of 2024.
The project, which enjoys the collaboration of the art critic Vincenzo Sanfo, provides, in addition to the expansion of the structure, also a repositioning and implementation of the collections, the inclusion of materials relating to international singer-songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Becaud. But also Spanish Paco Ibanez and many others and will also include numerous names of Italian singers. Objects, records, letters and various materials, which will be some of the precious objects on display, will tell the story history of Tenco, but they will also present the international singer-songwriter panorama of his era.
In the relaunch plan, in addition to what refers to the current structure that houses the Tenco Museum, several hypotheses are being defined. Among the most accredited are those that concern the facades of some houses of Ricaldone which should be affected by an artistic action that would allow the transcription on the walls of some lyrics of the songs of the songwriters present in the museum allowing visitors, through a QR code, listen to the songs on your mobile phone.
To support the relaunch action a collaboration with the Tenco Foundation and a partnership with the important banking group of Foundation of the Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria. Same Tenco House Museum will thus become an institutional partner of Tenco Award, scheduled from 19 to 21 October next in Sanremo.
Precisely on the occasion of the prestigious event, which awards recognition to the careers of artists who have made a significant contribution to songwriting in Italy and abroad, the project of the new Tenco Museum will be presented to the press and guests of the 46th edition.
The presentation of the project during the three days of Tenco Award, will be accompanied by tourism and food and wine promotion initiatives of the Monferrato territory. Local promotion bodies will welcome singers, musicians, journalists, opinion leaders and guests to the official dinner and the festival evenings with tasting of typical products linked to the Alexandrian province. Main partners of this territorial promotion are: the Tenco Museum Association of Ricaldone, the Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria Foundation, the tourist circuit of the Slala Foundation and the Gran Monferrato, Derthona, Gavi and Quarto Piemonte Consortium.
