A Grand Tour in Musical Landscapes
Alberto Pizzo and Giovanni Piliarvu met in Tokyo during an event at the Yamaha Hall in Ginza, thanks to the well-known photographer Junji Takasago. From that moment a friendship was born based on the love for Italy and for the common nostalgia given by staying away chasing for better life opportunities.
Thousands of kilometers away and forced to witness powerlessly to the suffering of the Italians when the Covid-19 started hitting hard, they decided to try to give help, however small, with the best they have to offer: photos and music .
“A Grand Tour in musical landscapes” is an ideal trip to Italy, made of images. A cultural pilgrimage that young Europeans already made in the 19th century to perfect their knowledge, and in which Italy was the main goal.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
The live performance will have as a visual structure a selection of shots by Giovanni, accompanied by Alberto’s musical improvisation, which will let the sensations that will arise when viewing the photographs flow onto the piano keys. The selection of landscapes will include the whole of Italy, and will be seen by Alberto for the first time during the performance.
It was not easy to decide who to donate to because there are so many needs at the moment. Alberto and Giovanni’s thoughts went to an institution always at the forefront in times of difficulty: the Italian Red Cross.
During the live it will be possible to click on the link available to make a direct offer.
We ask you to share the video link in order to reach the widest possible audience.
The live performance will happen this Thursday 9 April 2020. It will begin at 10 am Italian time (in Japan it will be 5 pm), live on Facebook on the channels of the two artists:
