And that one cannot turn away, so as not to see the faces of those who suffer in silence ”. And again “I believe that war is something that represents the greatest shame of humanity. And I think that the human brain must develop to the point of always rejecting this tool as an inhuman tool “.
Despite the tense situation, the program continues. The live de The flight opens the week of the festival with the three young tenors, who will receive the Filming Italy Los Angeles Music Award, after the performance on the stage of the Harmony Gold Theater with a recital dedicated to the Oscar-winning Maestro and composer Ennio Morricone.
