Laura Pausini chooses Mantua

Laura Pausini, the most famous Italian singer in the world, has just released the official video of her brand new single "Se non te"  ("Sino a ti" in the Spanish version).
The music video for the song, recorded in September 2013, shows the love story of Pausini's parents. Although the plot is set in Solarolo, in Emilia-Romagna, the filming was actually shooted in Castiglione delle Stiviere, Medole, and Gastel Goffredo, three villages in the province of Mantua.

The scene in which Pausini's father works in chemist's shop was shooted in the "Farmacia Romagnolo", in Castiglione delle Stiviere.

The scene in which Pausini's mother is sewing, was filmed in the "Casa-Sartoria Pezzini", a tailor's house in Castel Goffredo.
The wedding party scene is set at the "Ristorante da Laura" in Perosso, a suburb of Castel Goffredo.

The theatre shown in the music video is the Theatre of Medole.

Thank you Laura, for loving Mantua!

Music at the Ducal Palace, to save the Ducal Palace.

This weekend – 29th and 30th September, we celebrate the "European Heritage Days".

On this occasion the Mantua Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Carlo Fabiano, is going to offer some concerts to the Ducal Palace, affected by the recent earthquakes. The Orchestra is going to perform music by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Debussy and Verdi, in some of the most enchanting rooms of the Palace.

The admission for the Palace, and for the concerts as well, will be free of charge.

Although the concerts are free, we’d love to emphasize the difference between "offered by the artists" and "no paid" ... these events are organized to help the restorations, so: Be generous!

The "Society for the Ducal Palace in Mantua" will collect via web (also using PayPal) any donation in favor of the restoration needed to reopen the Castle of San Giorgio, the Bridal Chamber by Mantegna and the New Court. Thanks for any help that you give the support of the restoration of the Ducal Palace in Mantua.
