Andrea Zanzotto’s Musical Journey is one of the most interesting works by one the most important poetic voice in the second half of XX Century Italy. An opera born as a multimedia project, which allows us to explore the musicality of Zanzotto’s verses, his main inspiration (which is music), his relationship with the forms (poetic-musical forms) of the Italian tradition and with forms of other traditions (the Haiku, of which we also have a beautiful English translation approved by Zanzotto), the relationship between sounds and landscape (the landscape of Cansiglio, Montello, Feltrino and the Prealps, as well as, of course, Pieve di Soligo).
