The San Vincenzo Ferreri Auditorium will also host Deborah Iurato's concert in its churchyard, which will be held at 17.30 pm on Saturday 1 June, on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition.

“It is with a desire for growth, with a hunger for beauty – says the mayor Peppe Cassì – that we have experienced the new edition of Baroque and Neo-Baroque, in the wake of a path that aims to constantly broaden the prospects of this Festival now known throughout Italy. The celebrations of San Giorgio, Ragusa Ibla (but not only Ibla), are preparing to welcome national and international masters of design and fashion for a reinterpretation of the Baroque in which our city is much more than a unique scenography. Ragusa, its artisans, its schools, its people were ready to welcome and test themselves, to show the wonder of yesterday and enhance the talents of today, to amaze”.
