Debora Pioli introduced the show.
The concert, organized by the Burlamacchi Lodge nr. 1113 for the Oriente di Lucca and Barga of Grande Oriente d’Italia, not only gave to the city a cultural event that’s always appreciated, but also aimed to raise money for the Anfass onlus of Lucca, represented by the counselor Vania Nottoli. Dr. Nottoli, while receiving the donation from the hands of the Worshipful Master of the Burlamacchi Lodge of Grande oriente d’Italia, Emanuele Costamagna, thanked for the kind act, saying that represents an important contribution for the Anfass to pursue the work of social assistance they always did.
This edition, after two years of forced break because of the pandemic, was dedicated to Giorgio Serafini, passed to the Eternal Orient in May 2021 and often summoned with emotion during the concert.
At the end of the concert, the WM of the Francesco burlamacchi Lodge gave the Soprano Francesca Maionchi and to Maestro Stefano Teani a plate in memory of the event.
In the hall there were the counselor for Turism of the Comune di Lucca, Remo Santini and the honorary Grand Masters of the Grande Oriente d’Italia, Massimo Bianchi and Mauro Lastraioli.
