Hello Mr. Fogg! Round the world in music on fifty-two Saturdays

Hello, Mr. Fogg! continues the experiment in the form of a permanent “exhibition” at the Palazzo Cini of recordings and films of rare and recherché music to be presented in fifty-two afternoon sessions at 17.30 every Saturday. This year the matinées are organised in a fanciful sequence of far-reaching locations (from Berlin to Carpino Foggiano, from New York to Rocky Mountains, from Paris to Mahé, from Bologna to La Alberca, Dahomey to Montecatini, etc.). The series thus emulates Verne’s Fogg in going round the world. Only this time, instead of the fateful eighty days, the trip will be extended to last the whole of 365 days. The voyage is dedicated
to exploring the monuments, roots, foliages, oases, bushes, shoots, cuttings, petals, archetypes, models, monsters, seeds, grains, fragrances and moods of music worldwide in an undefined but real historical period.
