ROSSO ARANCIO 

 

The arts and culture association was founded in Angri in 2005. Since then, the President is M° Francesco Colasanto, composer, producer and well known in the field of local art and culture.

Its main activity has been introducing and establishing the annual Canzoni dal mondo international festival of pop music, which after ten editions is enjoying admiration and acclaim locally, regionally and internationally.

“Canzoni dal mondo” provides an example of an event designed to develop, in both locals and visitors, an appreciation of the uniqueness, wealth and diversity of music from many countries. Organising the festival occupies us for much of the year with fundraising, calling for artists, and the inevitable budgeting, planning and report writing. Other activities include hosting workshops for musicians, technicians and professionals. These workshops have helped to build knowledge and skills for the long-term cultural benefit of our territory and our international partners.

The Festival has played an essential role through building intercultural understanding and respect. Furthermore, the festival brings a significant boost for the local economy. Our statistics show the number of audience is increased more than 400% since the festival began.

Our core operation runs from our headquarters located in Angri, with a permanent staff team of four people.

Significant areas we envisage developing further over the next years include:

• Invest knowledge; essential for producing a world-class festival

• Improve artistic and technical quality of Festival

• Skills building for musicians, technicians and industry professionals

• continue to establish new relationships
