Title: Exhibition “the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, La Bella Principessa
(Beautiful Princess)"
Town: Urbino
Province: Pesaro-Urbino
Date: 5th December 2014-18th January 2015
The masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci's “The Beautiful Princess” arrives on display in the
Palazzo Ducale in Urbino . The portrait belongs to the Canadian collector Peter Silverman
and has been attributed to Leonardo after a series of extensive scientific investigations carried out between 2009 and 2011. The checks made with special techniques have allowed
us to find a fingerprint highly compatible with one already known, belonging to the great
genius of the Renaissance. La Bella Principessa (33x23.9 cm) is one of the extraordinary evidences of the talent of
Leonardo.

HISTORICAL RE-ENACTMENT
Title: Scacciamarzo
Town: Monsano
Province: Ancona
Date: 27th March, 2015
The Scacciamarzo, noisy and very old ritual song of children going begging,
originates from the ritual "caccià marzu" ("hunting marzu"), carried out until
the early years of the last century. The magic-pagan song has an evident exorcising function: drive out the "bad" (winter) and welcome and pursue the
"good" (the new season, the sun, the resurgent spring). Processions of children go through the streets of the village
knocking from door to door with cans and cowbells, offering through this song good wishes to everyone , in exchange of offers of money, gifts, especially sweets and eggs, with which enormous omelets for those present are
made.

dedicated to the "Passion" , which falls on Palm Sunday. The event consists of the
presentation of ritual songs of begging propagated in central Italy, closely linked
to the cycle of nature that is born, dies and rises synthesizing the human life cycle. Among the popular songs emerges the song of the "Passiò", the Passion of
Jesus, which is performed by an organ grinder and an accordion and two "singers" who perform a verse each, accompanying themselves on harpsichord and eardrums. Throughout the day over two hundred popular singers and
musicians, from the Marche region and the neighboring regions, reproduce the ritual songs, as it was once, to
spread a wish of health, wealth and abundance, in exchange of offers of money and of food and wine intended for
the farewell lunch party.
