2024
Maestro Pupi Avati guest of honor at the lighting of the Christmas illuminations
Friday, December 6 - 6:30 p.m.
The magic of Christmas is ignited with the lighting of the illuminations on Via Margutta, an exclusive golden cascade of fifty names of artists, poets, writers and musicians and film personalities, to whom the artistic installation entitled "The Stars of Via Margutta" is dedicated, historical personalities who have lived and worked in Via Margutta over the various centuries.
The initiative conceived and promoted by the Board of Directors of the Via Margutta AssociationInternational, composed of President Grazia Marino, Tina Vannini, Pierluigi Mancuso, Hayley Nielsen, Karim Othmani, Stefano Leonardi and Laura Pepe, has scheduled the exclusive lighting ceremony on Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m.
Picasso, Guttuso, De Chirico, D'Annunzio, Moravia, Sartre, Puccini, Mascagni, Wagner, Fellini, Magnani, H. Hepburn and G. Peck and so many other beautiful souls who have populated this unique and unparalleled street will be revived in the three-meter signs made of gold-colored neon tubes placed along the entire length of Via Margutta, embellished and decorated with bright Christmas stars.
Guest of honor at the lighting ceremony of the Via Margutta illuminations was Italian Cinema Maestro Pupi Avati, after whom one of the illuminations placed in the center of the legendary street is named.
Highly anticipated will be the Christmas carols by the Pop Gospel Choir "Le noteVocali" directed by Valeria Fiore, which will introduce the final toast on the road with the Merlettaie Brut variety Pecorino - Bio Vegan, by CiùCiù Tenimenti Bartolomei.
Special thanks go to Banca del Fucino, which again this year is supporting the Via Margutta illuminations. Founded in Rome in 1923, it has established itself over a century of history as one of Rome's most important banks, preserving its identity as an independent private bank deeply rooted in its local area.
This Christmas, the Via Margutta International Association, for a moment of sincere sharing and altruism, will promote the independent nonprofit organization Still I Rise, founded in 2018 by Nicolò Govoni. An Association that provides free education of excellence to refugee and vulnerable children around the world.Its Mission is to end the global education crisis by opening schools to empower the most vulnerable.
