Quattro Maggiore (2011) — The Florence
Dance Company again presented Quattro Maggiore ("Four
Seasons").
The Inaugural Evening took place on June 28 at the Bargello
Museum. Quattro Maggiore was then presented in five performances
associated with the Florence Dance Festival, from June 29
through July 23, 2011. The ballet was set to the music of
Vivaldi, and the art of Adi Da Samraj.
Here are some pictures of the Bargello Museum and the performance
that took place there, along with a feature article in La
Nazione (Florence's most important newspaper), which concluded
with one word: Imperdibile ("Not to be missed").
