The ribbon cutting was accompanied by the notes of the San Gabriele dell’Addolorata band directed by Maestro Loredana Cal. an emotion that I know is the one you feel in re-appropriating a theater, a place around which stories, emotions, memories gather and represent the history of our community. – said the president Michele Emiliano – We have worked in recent years to renovate and reopen all the theaters that were closed, the small ones, the big ones, the famous ones, the ones that nobody knows, we did it almost maniacally, in every place of the Puglia. And today, in the reborn Cavallino Bianco Theater, I confirm that we have not wasted what we have invested in our region to give new life to these places that are indispensable for us.

The words of Loredana Capone

After twenty years, the Cavallino Bianco di Galatina reopens today. I would like to say so many things, pass all the emotions that have crossed our eyes to you, but the truth is sometimes difficult even for me. I followed these years of restoration as a mother who takes care of a child, I felt it necessary, a debt towards a community that grew up in that theater and who knows how many dreams it has placed there – says the president of the Regional Council – That theater it had to be returned to them first of all, and to their children, who are our children, the children of the future whom we invoke so much but for whom we must roll up our sleeves and work day and night, at least we politicians, who by asking for the vote we accepted the The greatest responsibility of all is that of building cities tailored to dreams and needs. It moved me to see all those people queuing to enter after such a long time, it moved me to hear “when I was little”, “when I was little” .. There is a story and hundreds of lives in these places of the soul. Loredana Capone thus concludes: Someone said that when a theater is reborn, its community is reborn too. I am convinced of it. For this reason, first as councilor for economic development and then for culture and tourism, I wanted to invest resources but above all to give a vision. Because, and I will never tire of repeating it, not only a question of spaces but of contents, places of aggregation where generations meet, young people, the very young, school children, citizens, institutions. Today a beautiful day and I feel proud of the work we have been able to do, together with the Municipality, the designers, the many volunteers who have never backed down. Today a beautiful day, one of those in which politics is filled with its only meaning, that of staying one step away from its citizens.
