CCT – Cinema, Cycling, Tourism at the Ghisallo Museum

The new project of the Ghisallo Museum, promoted by Lombardia Musica in synergy with the Ghisallo Museum realized as part of the biennial program of the cultural district of Lake Como called PIC, UN TESORO DI TERRITORIO, financed by the Lombardy Region and coordinated and supported by Chamber of Commerce of Como-Lecco, wants to represent a new way for the full enhancement of an important territorial resource, which is precisely the Museum located in the Municipality of Magreglio; in particular, the activity will be concentrated in the cinema hall present in it, with the realization of a series of events dedicated to the rediscovery of a special film heritage, that is non-sound, with live music, with original music, as well as with the rediscovery of documentaries and materials from the Ghisallo Museum Archives able to narrate the history of cycling.

But nevertheless, the project aims to represent an innovative push to tourism, through a rediscovery of our territory, with the assembly of special videos of the enhancement of the places, of its changes over time, with a special focus always on sport (cycling naturally in priority manner). These materials will be accompanied by a program that will see the presence of clips and films made personally by Attilio Prevost, a figure present on Magreglio in an important way in the historical 900, as well as artists

The induced effect will be to create events capable of attracting the public and visitors.

Among the novelties also a composition course for music applied to non-sound and documentary cinema, specially made with films from the Ghisallo Museum, in June 2021, which will see the participation of composition students interested in working in the Italian and foreigners (including students from the Tchaikowsky Center in St. Petersburg, Russia).

The compositional soul of the entire project will be one of the most esteemed and established composers at an international level in the soundtrack of non-sound cinema (silent and documentary), that is the Italian Rossella Spinosa, who has to date set music over 100 historical films, becoming the musical signature of the Cineteca Umanitaria for several years. The program will run from May 30, 2021 to October 16, 2021.
