Today, Thursday, May 15, the Arsenal of the Republic was the protagonist of a symbolic, artistic and evocative moment: it was held today the <\/span>first cultural event<\/span> that officially opens the celebrations dedicated to the Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The Exhibition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first event is a real journey into the memory and beauty of the event: the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the most significant posters of the 70 editions of the Regatta<\/em>. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to relive past moments related to the history of the Regatta through the evolution of its graphic image<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Enriching the evening was the presentation of the “<\/span>unique number<\/span><\/em>“, or the publication with which Amalfi celebrates the event, compiled by the Center for Amalfi Culture and History, and of the 8 new costumes of the characters<\/em> who will make their debut in the historical procession<\/em> (Saturday, May 17, 7:30 p.m.): a tribute to tradition that is elegantly renewed through careful historical and sartorial research work that enhances the identity of the City.<\/span><\/p>\n

“These are four knights, called “Milites<\/strong>,” whose figures appear in a fresco in the thousand-year-old abbey of Santa Maria dell’Olearia<\/strong> in Maiori, two merchants, the first belonging to the Amalfi nobility, the other an expression of the so-called “mediocres<\/strong>” class, and two noblewomen: the Ducissa<\/strong>, consort of the duke, patrician and ant\u00ecpato Mansone I<\/strong>, and the Ducissa Regale<\/strong>, wife of the correcting duke Giovanni I<\/strong> whose visual references come from as many sculptures traceable to that of a Dame di Scala and Sigilgaida della Marra, respectively….<\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal once again becomes the beating heart of culture<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ancient Arsenal, an undisputed symbol of Amalfi’s seafaring power, once again becomes a hub of cultural life and a meeting place between past and present<\/em>. This first event is not only a preview of the Regatta, but also an invitation to rediscover the value of roots.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking forward to the big event<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amalfi is therefore dressed for a party, ready to welcome guests, onlookers and fans from all over the world. The Maritime Republics-Amalfi, Genoa, Pisa and Venice-again cross paths between history and sports, culture and entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it all starts right here, from this first, exciting step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone ready to cheer Amalfi?<\/p>\n
