The Italian Cultural Institute is bringing a special concert in commemorating
the 100th anniversary of the death of Giacomo Puccini. Join us on a musical
journey to explore the fascinating world of Giacomo Puccini and his deep-rooted
fascination with Oriental cultures.

You’ll discover this connection in an extraordinary chamber music recital with
the fantasies of the How I met PucciniⓇ project. In September 2022, the Museum
of Oriental Art in Turin commissioned a piece from the duo The Girls in The
Magnesium Dress dedicated to the exhibition “Buddha at the Tenth.” The
composition was conceived by Valentina Ciardelli as a trio for harp, double
bass, and Guqin, an ancient instrument from the Chinese tradition originally
intended as a tool for individual meditation accompaniment.

The creation of a musical composition that enhances the tradition of a popular
Chinese instrument and two Western instruments was the artistic choice that the
duo The Girls in The Magnesium Dress wanted to propose. The study of the history
from Taoism to Japanese Zen Buddhism was fundamental and an integral part of the
research on methods and books of Guqin to learn the notation of the instrument.
The writing in Chinese notation is attributed to the artist Chiu Yung Chan, who
patiently translated, from the staff written by Valentina Ciardelli, into
traditional Chinese notation.
