From Italian Embassy:
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, the Embassy of Italy in Hanoi, with the sponsorship of ICHAM, presents Andrea Centazzo’s Multimedia Concerts.

The show is a travel inside the places and people involved in the historical expedition of 1.000 volunteers led by General Giuseppe Garibaldi who, starting from Northern Italy and fighting in Southern Italy for their Country, contributed in a decisive way to the unification of Italy in 1861, 150 years ago.

The artist Maestro Andrea Centazzo plays with the interaction between images and live music, historical narration and his own emotional involvement, bringing the audience toward the discovering of new visual and sound connections.
