Calendario

After great popular demand, Alfredo Imparato will return to the Museo to give two performances in July.

Mr. Imparato is one of the last wandering street minstrels, or Posteggiatori, of Naples. In 2013, he performed for enthusiastic overflow audiences at the Museo and he will be back to perform his enthralling versions of Canzoni Napoletane, or Neapolitan songs, just as he regularly does for the admiring locals in the streets and piazze of Naples.

The performance will be preceded by a short talk on the history and tradition of Neapolitan songs and i Posteggiatori by local musician Kathy Sherak.  A reception will follow both performances.

Please note there will be another performance on July 27 at 7pm, be sure you book for the correct performance.

Space is limited – please register online below or RSVP to 415.673.2200 or [email protected]

SALENTO BY 5
Friendship, Food, Music and Travel Within the Heel of Italy's Boot

Sunday, July 30 | 4:30 p.m.

Museo Italian students Audrey (The Traveler) and David Fielding (The Sketcher) collaborated with three Salentinians: Luciana (The Raconteur), Carlo (The Music Maker), and Lucia (The Cook) to write and illustrate a unique travel memoir.
After more than ten years of travel to Salento in southern Puglia, the five authors' book on the region has been published. The region comes alive with a delightful collection of stories, essays, and drawings.
Come and learn about the charm and beauty of an area of Puglia often bypassed by American tourists. Come and see the photos and drawings of the area, listen to the local "pizzica" music, and taste Salento wines!

The book and notecards will be on sale at the Museo at the beginning of July. Buy a copy in advance, bring your questions and comments to the presentation, and have it signed by authors Audrey and David.
