The program – entitled From Pitinum Pisaurense to the Unification of Italy: History and Culture in Macerata Feltria – offers a rich proposal between conferences, guided tours, museums open all week, archaeology, music, editorial presentations, theatre workshops for the little ones, parades in period costume and cavalry, fanfares and Garibaldi commemorations.

They were present at the conference Daniele Vimini Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Pesaro, for Macerata Feltria the Deputy Mayor Mario Gallerani and Damien Fattori municipal councilor and head of the Pro Loco of Macerata Feltria.

Daniele Vimini opened: “We are pleased with this double opportunity in a period that is still summer, a double proposal for a program that has worked very well so far with an excellent impact on the Pesaro 2024 calendar. Moreover, these are two municipalities - Frontone and Macerata Feltria - that already have consolidated relationships with us at various levels. I remember that both weeks focus on the key values ​​of Pesaro 2024: art, nature and landscape, environmental sustainability, technology. You can see that there has been a strong effort in programming”.

Mario Gallerani illustrated the program which revolves around the history of Macerata Feltria, as is also clear from the title. This year marks the 175th anniversary of Garibaldi's passage through Macerata Feltria and the logo created for the week is also inspired by this historical episode. In the program great emphasis on young people because their value for the country is indispensable.

Damien Fattori concluded: this week closes for us a phase that began 5/6 years ago when the young people were 'lost' in Macerata Feltria, now instead there is a large community of young people who are part of the Pro Loco and are also represented in the City Council. All this gives a sense of the future and this week will show what Macerata Feltria is capable of doing.

50X50 Capitals squared
Born in the name of a highly participatory method, the macro-project sees the fifty Municipalities of the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, 'Capital' for a week throughout 2024. The rich 12-month program brings together over 350 subjects thanks to an unprecedented choral work between the administrations sanctioned by a protocol, it involves hundreds of artists and creatives and represents an invitation to travel between nature and culture, to discover a polycentric and polyphonic land, between sea and hills. 50×50 is born from a collective intelligence that also works on small communities and intends the territory not only within the urban belt but as a precious network of relationships and links over a vast and expanding area: because the Capital of Culture is an opportunity to increase the cultural capital of all citizens. By focusing on individual excellences, the big picture of a province that wants to present itself in the best possible way to Italy and the world takes shape, with the ambition of being a real laboratory of ideas for other cities that are candidates to Italian Capital of Culture. Special Project Partner: Banca di Pesaro – Credito Cooperativo
