Milan, October 16.th, 2019

LASER ENTERTAINMENT CREATES THE FOURTH EDITION OF “VILLA RUFOLO A THOUSAND YEARS OF MAGIC” IN RAVELLO (Amalfi Coast, SA)

MULTIMEDIA MAGIC RETURNS TO THE GARDEN OF KLINGSOR

This year too, Laser Entertainment has staged the multimedia journey in the splendid setting of Villa Rufolo in Ravello, a jewel of the Amalfi Coast. In 45 minutes and a little more, you will travel through time through the history of the symbolic monument of Ravello. A journey strictly in version 2.0, totally revisited compared to previous editions, to rediscover the myths that have made the Villa and Ravello famous throughout the world. A thousand years and a world to be discovered: from Wagner to Reid, from Boccaccio to Escher, told by the ghost of Lorenzo Rufolo who returns to take back the scene and above all returns to govern what was his extraordinary home.

“As the host, I am proud to have hosted you,” Lorenzo will say at the end of the fantastic journey.

The successful project of mapped and holographic projections, already implemented in 2014, 2015 and 2017 for the enhancement of the monument, has been rethought and adapted to the important restoration works that have affected the Torre Maggiore and the facades.

“A Thousand Years of Magic” offers a new and unique show that has already met with unanimous approval from the public in past editions.

As in the past, the “paintings” will bring to life the passages of the artists, writers and men of letters who have made Ravello immortal.

Starting of course with Giovanni Boccaccio, the true forerunner of the grand tour of Ravello, to the many who have drawn inspiration from this place: Edward Morgan Forster, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal…

The inevitable reference to the visit of Richard Wagner and the golden period of Sir Francis Nevile Reid who, albeit in very different ways, changed the destiny of Ravello forever.
