Rome: Progressive Nation, 27 October 2009

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:37:14 -0400

Born of an idea by Mike Portnoy, the drummer of Dream Theater, one of the most representative progressive metal bands, who wanted to give birth to a music festival dedicated to the more progressive side of hard rock and metal, Progressive Nation is an event that gathers on the same stage Dream Theater and other important bands, who are not chosen because of their popularity or commercial success, but in virtue of their originality, uniqueness and musicianship. The first Progressive Nation tour has taken place in 2008 in various American cities, with the participation of bands like Opeth, Between the Buried and me and 3, while the second edition of the festival has taken place this year with a different line-up: besides Dream Theater, the large audience of the show has enjoyed the performances of Zappa plays Zappa, Scale the Summit and Bigelf. **End Summary** Topics: Dream Theater]]> music]]> progressive metal]]> progressive nation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This article was written by Francesca Tessarollo with support from accommodation booking system .

Rome: Tori Amos concert, 30 September 2009

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:03:52 -0400

Some might say that the success of Tori Amos, of her music, of her voice which can whisper and make harrowing high notes at once, of her personal style in playing the piano, is fading if compared to the past, but this does not mean that the goddess of rock, as her more affectionate fans like to call her, has stopped, or that her original artistic talent has run out: an evidence of this is given by the recent publication of the latest album of the American songwriter and pianist, Abnormally attracted to Sin. The artist will present her latest work to Italian fans on the 30 of September in the capital city and on the 1st of October in Milan, and cheap B&B accommodation in Rome will certainly be fully booked.

Rome: Etruscomix, Etruria in comics, 30 June 25 October 2009

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:37:48 -0400

Comics are even more than this: they are effective narrative tools that using images and words (sometimes only images) can communicate with the reader more than any other means of communication. An evidence of the narrative power of comics is given not only by the literary value of many graphic novels, but also by their being used to tell historical events and as reworking of literature classics. Comics have showed to be on the same level of other forms of art and literature, succeeding in standing comparison with them, even giving them something more. The exhibition Etruscomix, Etruria in comicsâ€, which will take place in Rome from the 30th of June to the 25th of October, shows that comics can be compared to and inspired from a field that is seemingly very different from them: archaeology. **End Summary** Topics: archaeology]]> comics]]> Etruria]]> Etruscomix]]> exhibition]]> Rome]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This article was written by Francesca Tessarollo with support from booking engine .

The exhibition, indeed, which has already attracted many tourists in Romeâ€™s guest houses, will not be focused on only one field of study (art, technology, anatomy, studies on water and flying, just to make few examples), but it will try to present Leonardoâ€™s work from a different point of view: focusing on all the fields of study which the great scientist and artist was interested in, the exhibition is meant to look into the idea that Leonardo had of knowledge and into his analysis method, in order to make us discover that his study method featured some constants that could apply to any fields of knowledge.

Rome: The Cinema Isle, 18th June 30th August 2009

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Italian cinema was born at the beginning of the 20th century, but it broke out after the Second World War, in particular starting from the 50s, when a number of Hollywood productions were hosted in CinecittÃ studios and many Italian directors who then came down in history began to emerge, turning Rome into cinema capital city and into a magnet for Italian and international stars. Fifty years after that extraordinary cinema season, and after a decrease of the prestige of Italian cinema (above all in the 80s), we can claim that Italian cinema is now emerging again, and Rome keeps being one of the most important capital cities of cinema. An evidence of the strong connection between Rome and cinema is given by the great number of cinema events that are hosted every year in the eternal city, like the International Rome Film Festival, which takes place every year in October. **End Summary** Topics: cinema]]> films]]> Italian films]]> movies]]> previews]]> Rome]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This article was written by Francesca Tessarollo with support from Bed and Breakfast Rome near Coliseum .

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

The 15th edition of Fiesta, an international festival of Latin American music and culture, will take place at Ippodromo delle Capannelle, and it will bring cheerfulness and a lot of good music to the eternal city. At the Ippodromo, indeed, a huge open air club will be set up, with various dance floors and three concert areas: a big arena with 5000 seats and two smaller stages, fit for more intimate concerts. And the stages of Fiesta, an event that in 15 years has convinced about 11 millions visitors to plan a travel to Rome, will host extraordinary singers and bands, to represent in the best way the colourful and diversified music panorama of Latin America. The programme includes about 30 concerts: do not miss Colombian Carlos Vives, who will perform in Rome for the first time, Gilberto Santarosa, the salsa knightâ€ from Porto Rico who comes back in Rome, and Jarabe de Palo, who has become a world-famous popstar. **End Summary** Topics: bachata]]> concert]]> criolla music]]> dance]]> Fiesta Club "'""09]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This article was written by Francesca Tessarollo with support from Exclusive B&B accommodation .
