The “PeM” continues! Festival – Words and Music in Monferrato”, expected Gene Gnocchi, Flaco Biondini, the Pem Music Contest, Mauro Pagani and more.

It is in full swing “PeM! Festival – Words and Music in Monferrato”, the Piedmontese festival of meetings, stories and songs that will stop in ten municipalities, starting with the leader San Salvatore Monferrato, with the artistic direction of Enrico Deregibus.

After the appointments with Paola Turci, Eugenio Cesaro degli Eugenio in Via Di Gioia, Manuel Agnelli, Filippo Gambetta/ Fabio Vernizzi, the homage to Rosetta Loy, Emma Nolde, Matteo Bordone, the Conciorto of Biagio Bagini and Gian Luigi Carlone, we continue with a series of decidedly varied evenings, as always with free admission.

It begins Thursday September 14, at 21pm, with a meeting/show with Gene Gnocchi in Balzola, to continue on the 17th at 18pm with a meeting/concert with Flaco Biondini in Camagna Monferrato.

The 20 September at 21pm there will be the highly anticipated final of the Pem Music Contest at the Country Sport Village in Mirabello Monferrato with Camilla Baraggia, Carolina Piola, Linn and Filippo Repetto and with guests the two winners of last year: Nicola Project and Roma. On September 22nd, at 21 pm, in San Salvatore Monferrato it will be Mauro Pagani's turn.

It will then continue until 8 October for a total of 18 events for a widespread festival that touches San Salvatore Monferrato, Lu Cuccaro Monferrato, Balzola, Valenza, Mirabello Monferrato with the Country Sport Village, Alessandria, Pontestura, Rive, Camagna Monferrato and the Cantoni Stone Ecomuseum with the municipality of Cella Monte.

A route between the hills, the rice fields and the Po, in Monferrato, a UNESCO site, and around Monferrato, an hour from Turin, Milano and Genoa.

The billboard that offers music but also literature, entertainment and society. A sort of live journalism with entertainment, which will soon also feature Guido Catalano, Ditonellapiaga, Madreblu, Marinella Venegoni and an event dedicated to the lesser-known Lucio Battisti, that of records with Pasquale Panella.

SHEETS OF THE NEXT DATES:

14 September, 21 hours, Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII, Balzola (Al).

Meeting/show with Gene Gnocchi.

An evening in two parts. In the first, Enrico Deregibus's interview with one of the most surreal and entertaining comedians of recent decades, who was a lawyer and a footballer and now divides his time between his career as a comedian, presenter, singer and writer. In the second Gnocchi will give life to one of his hilarious monologues, with Diego Cassani on guitar.

17 September, 18 hours

Piazza Sant'Eusebio, Camagna Monferrato (Al)

Meeting/concert with Flaco Biondini

Argentinian, he arrived in Italy in 1974 and shortly after became the legendary guitarist (and second voice) of Francesco Guccini, with whom he also wrote songs such as "Cencio" and "Scirocco". But he also collaborated with Paolo Conte, Lauzi, Capossela and various others. He will talk about himself to Enrico Deregibus but will also play many songs, including some gems. The evening is in collaboration with the “Sut la cupola” festival.

20 September, 21 hours

Country Sport Village (Strada Comunia 30), Mirabello Monferrato (Al)

Pem Music Contest: the final

Second edition of the music competition for young singer-songwriters from the province of Alessandria, at the Country Sport Village in Mirabello, which is also the organizer of the contest.

In the final they will compete: Camilla Baraggia, Carolina Piola, Linn and Filippo Repetto. An important opportunity to discover the new musical offerings that the area offers. The winner will be decided by a large jury of journalists and professionals.

22 September, 21 hours

Historic tower park (via Sottotorre), San Salvatore Monferrato (Al)

Meeting with Mauro Pagani

Searching for chords, going in time with others, improvising, this makes a good bluesman. So Pagani has always tried in his life - in his lives - to keep pace with the world, from time to time starting again, revisiting, reinventing. He did the same with his past in an autobiography, “Nine lives and ten blues” (Bompiani), which he will talk about with Enrico Deregibus, through videos and memories.

Corrado Tagliabue, mayor of San Salvatore Monferrato, the leading municipality of the event, declares: “Today we call it PeM! but his full name contains the word “Monferrato”. For those like me who believe in the territory and in the synergies that can arise from the shared goal of enhancing this wonderful corner of the world, it means a lot. When we started PeM with Riccardo Massola in 2006, we started from San Salvatore and the name of the festival already showed that it wanted to look far ahead. So we involved many municipalities and together we created original opportunities to discover little-known and beautiful corners. This year the festival launches an unprecedented literary "contest" for young newcomers, in addition to the musical one born a year ago and welcomes two new participating municipalities. PeM promises in its name what it offers in reality: the beauty of words, the enchantment of music and the magic of new places to discover".

The festival has now become a point of reference in the Italian musical and cultural panorama, as demonstrated by the attention of the national press and the artists and intellectuals who participated, names such as Diodato, Arturo Brachetti, Malika Ayane, Morgan, Pilar Fogliati, Nada , Samuel, Enrico Ruggeri, Violante Placido, Ron, Zen Circus, Tosca, Luca Sofri, Franco Arminio, Motta, Ghemon, Frankie hi-nrg mc, Luca Barbarossa, Irene Grandi, Guido Davico Bonino, Anita Caprioli, Fabio Troiano, Giovanni Truppi , Marina Rei, Vittorio De Scalzi, Carlo Massarini, Vasco Brondi, Francesco Bianconi dei Baustelle, Ensi, Ernesto Ferrero, Paolo Benvegnù, Giocamifaro, Rosetta Loy, Gianluigi Beccaria, Natalino Balasso, Paolo Bonfanti, Roberta Giallo, Marina Massironi, Davide Longo and many others.
