Avigliana… insieme 2024 – initiatives of the cultural center Vita e pace

The concert season of “Avigliana … Insieme 2024” by the Vita e Pace cultural center starts again with a rich spring program
(21 April – 30 June 2024) entitled “ART WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU”

Once the winter break is over, the activities of the Vita e Pace Cultural Center resume in a big way! The cultural proposals will find the Church of Santa Maria even more beautiful, with the Chapel of the Relics restored to its ancient splendor, thanks to the contributions of the CRTo Foundation and the Magnetto Foundation, and with the presbytery being restored and renovated. The musicians will perform by proposing the fruit of their work united under the general title “ART WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU” which the Uni.Vo.C.A. Association, supported by the Piedmont Region and by numerous other cultural associations, including Vita e Pace for its contribution on the subject of musical activity, has developed a series of initiatives and meetings.
