On Sunday 20 October, at 5 p.m., on the weekend in which the City of Riccione celebrates its 102nd birthday, the city's theatre season officially restarts with a great preview at the Granturismo, a show of music and words brought to the stage by two exceptional protagonists, one of the most sensitive and courageous voices of Italian song and the signature par excellence of our music journalism: Paola Turci and Gino Castaldo. A great performer, with a success that has lasted almost forty years, and a critic with boundless knowledge take turns, between music and words, to sing and recount "the time of the giants", or rather the period "1979-1981: the three magical years of Italian music".

Thanks to a storytelling in which memories, analysis and live interpretations are interwoven, we thus relive the golden years of Italian song, with unforgettable hits by Lucio Dalla, Pino Daniele, Fabrizio De André, Vasco Rossi, Franco Battiato, Rino Gaetano, Lucio Battisti and others. Singer-songwriter and musician capable of blending elegance and rock, Paola Turci interprets the songs live while Gino Castaldo reconstructs the historical framework of this unrepeatable period.

The show "Il tempo dei giganti" inaugurates "La bella stagione 2024/25", a theatre programme organised by Riccione Teatro. Tickets (single numbered seat, € 20) can be purchased on the Liveticket.it website and at authorised Liveticket outlets (presale fees apply).
