Event Type : Montreal

In the early 20th century, a new wave of European immigrants made its way to Québec and to Montréal. Among them were thousands of Italians who brought with them their traditions, their values, and their customs, going on to form one of the oldest and largest immigrant cultural communities in Montréal.

Showcasing the community’s important contribution to economic, social, and cultural life in Montréal—as well as its ingenuity, talent, and resilience—Pointe-à-Callière, thanks to the support of the IIC, is presenting the exhibition Italian Montréal. This exhibition will shine a spotlight on the daily lives of Montréal’s earliest Italian immigrants and on the ways in which the community has evolved over the past century—with a quarter of a million Montrealers today describing themselves as having Italian roots.

The Center for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage “La Venaria Reale” (CCR) will organize on July 1st and 2nd 2021 the second edition of the “Young Professionals Forum, Emerging skills for heritage conservation”, the first important international event aimed at the growth of skills and comparison between professionals in the field of conservation of cultural heritage.

Date: Da Friday, March 26, 2021 a Sunday, May 09, 2021

Organized by : Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali

The second edition of this year was conceived as a succession of two intense days of presentations, moments of exchange and debate, where participants will have the opportunity to present their research, experiences and projects, around the four thematic sessions in which the Forum is divided:

1. Ethics and practice of restoration

2. Diagnostics and technologies applied to conservation

3. Museum professions

4. History of the restoration

Each session will host a series of presentations, selected through a call for abstracts that will expire on May 9th, 2021.

Young Professionals Forum is aimed at young professionals by offering a platform for exchange and sharing and stimulating the synergy between restorers, conservators, art historians and scientists at an international level: the goal is to create networks that last over time, to enhance the interdisciplinarity and the experiences of individuals to build a common vision

CIDIM, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death, supports the DANTE 700 International Composition Competition, jointly promoted by the Instrumental Chamber of the City of Prato and the Filharmonie – Philharmonic Orchestra of Florence.

The engine that gave life to this initiative lies in the word “symphony”, which entered the Italian language thanks to Dante’s Comedy, with the verse «la dolce sinfonia di Paradiso» (“the sweet symphony of Paradise”). This word has accompanied us until today and has made the work of these and many other orchestras in the world possible.

«La dolce sinfonia di Paradiso» is a project that aims to stimulate and promote creative energies in the field of orchestral composition by focusing on the figure and poetry of Dante Alighieri. The score in competition must be inspired by the Divine Comedy, freely drawing inspiration from a figure, an image, a character or a selection of verses.

The competition is open to composers of all nationalities and without age limits, and involves the composition of a symphonic piece lasting no more than 15 minutes. A prestigious international jury will follow the evaluation, selection and awarding phases of the compositions. The three scores selected for the final phase will be heard by the jury in a public performance in order to determine the winner.

The material must be received no later than midnight on July 31, 2021.
