Brady, Fred & Festival of 2 Worlds
We gathered the weary travelers from the train station and returned to the apartment for a "regrouping" before heading to the Teatro Romano and the inaugural performance of the Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi's 54th season.
We picked Cannibardo and Sicily, not so much because of its content but because of its location, the 1st century AD Roman Theater. What better place to experience an Italian summer evening than under the stars where so many have sat before us for centuries!

Cannibardo and Sicily by Andrea Camilleri, a play in Italian about one of Italy's most famous men. "Garibaldi is charismatic, charming, cunning, has a sensational sense of communication and propaganda, without the use of television: even today he would be the most brilliant. He arrives with a thousand men and beats an army of 100,000 men with 130 ships, fighting only one real battle, in Calatafimi. This gives rise to his reputation as the invincible hero".
We ended our evening in a just opened ROSSOBASTARDO LIVE 2011, a "Space of new creativity" which promotes the work of young and innovative artists, providing a creative international environment to meet people, experience interesting and exciting arts, exchange ideas, spend time and celebrate. Just what the four of us plan to do over the next five days!

We can't help but be wary travelers with all the robbery warnings you gave us, oh, you said weary? I guess so, more like 50% weary, 50% wary. :)
Thanks for taking us to the show! It was a great way to be introduced to your town.
