20240928-The Grigna Chorus sing Father Turoldoo
On Saturday the Grigna choir remembers Father David Maria Turoldo through an exhibition in his memory preceded by a speech by Master Giuseppe Scaioli who recalls his personal experience, by Elia Partesana and Michele Casadio who made some reflections on poetics.

The inauguration is held by Giulio Pozzi, Curator of the exhibition who introduces the exhibition and by Claudio Bolis (President of Coro Grigna).

The relationship between Father Turoldo and the Grigna choir dates back to some time ago, thanks above all to Master Giuseppe Scaioli, who harmonized some of Turoldo's poems, who was often at the choir's headquarters in Laorca and attended its performances. A particularly significant moment in Father Turoldo's relationship with Lecco and the Grigna choir was the delivery of the civic recognition from the Municipality of Lecco on December 2, 1990. On that occasion, Turdoldo expressed words of appreciation for the Choir: "It certainly doesn't cost me, indeed it's an honor for me, to say these words about the Grigna Choir of Lecco, because I know I say them well. The singing of a choir like that of the "Grigna" reaches you in your solitude and makes you at peace with yourself and with the universe. And this is what I "felt" the times I found myself in Laorca, in the welcoming headquarters of the Choir, listening to those powerful and harmonious voices, in waves, enveloping with emotion to the point of shivers”.


The exhibition will remain open in the following days during the opening hours of the monastery at the Volta Hall of the Minor Cloister - Free Entrance
