Bormio (SO) – July 25, 2025 – A large turnout last night in Bormio for the first of the evenings dedicated to La Milanesiana, created and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi, which once again managed to unite different languages – literature, music, art, and dialogue – in an intense and engaging evening. 

The audience welcomed Elio Germano's performance warmly, as he gave voice to the poetry of Pier Paolo Pasolini with a rare depth, symbolically opening a weekend rich in high-level cultural events.

The Cultural Councillor Paola Romerio Bonazzi commented:
«There could not have been a better start for Milanesiana 2025 in Bormio: last night we witnessed a great acting performance by Elio Germano, who with his great sensitivity conveyed all the poetry of an extraordinary artist like Pier Paolo Pasolini. We are still moved and ready to experience equally intense moments with the upcoming illustrious guests of a long and unforgettable cultural weekend. A precious gift made possible by Elisabetta Sgarbi and those who support us».

The program continues with an invitation to embark on a journey through emotions, between voice, images, and reflections. From the words and music of Ermal Meta, engaging with the audience through readings and songs, we will move to the refined irony and sensitivity of Carlo Verdone, culminating in the expressive power of Eugenio Finardi, who will present an intense show centered on the theme of Voice. The Milanesiana in Bormio 2025 is a journey into the intelligence of the arts, people, and nature, capable of blending moments of entertainment and reflection in a unique setting. 
An opportunity not to be missed for those who love culture in all its forms.
