Musica, cartapesta e arte/ ITES Olivetti Band

As the temperatures plummet and the Christmas air takes over, the city's venues also dress up for the holidays. An exhibition on papier-mâché from Lecce and musical accompaniment embellish the “gentle” rococo of the chiesa della Nova, which has been curated for years by the Lecce section of Italia Nostra. Inside the building, one can admire characters from the Salento nativity scene, moving nativities and small groups of statues, thanks to the skill of artists who still today, modelling the tradition that comes from the past, pay homage to and magnify the great art of papier-mâché. Musicians from Lecce enrich the peculiar architecture with the “Musica, cartapesta, arte” event: it starts with the students of ITES Olivetti, whose band opens the dances at 6 pm.

The spaces can be visited from 25 to 30 December and 5 to 6 January, from 10 a.m. to midday and 6 to 8 p.m.

Free admission.
