Goodbye, Gianfranco!

Gianfranco Mariotti, Founder of the Rossini Opera Festival and its Intendant for 37 years, has passed away. It is impossible to say how alone we feel at this moment: there will be time for words and actions to honour and pay homage to him. For now, we only wish to join in a strong embrace together with all those who are grateful to a man, a visionary, who contributed in a decisive way to restoring Rossini’s genius to the world.
