Cervia
Lucio c'è
On Friday 13 November, on the occasion of the feast day of Cervia's patron saint, San Paterniano, the Walter Chiari Municipal Theatre will reopen its doors to the public following conservation and restoration works and the renewal of its furnishings, bringing a renewed splendour to one of the most iconic venues in Cervia's cultural life.
To celebrate this special occasion, the evening will continue with “Lucio c’è”, a concert and storytelling performance dedicated to Lucio Dalla. The event will feature some of his best-loved songs, alongside memories and previously untold anecdotes shared by Marcello Balestra, the artist's close friend and long-time collaborator for over 30 years.
An emotional journey through music and stories, offering the audience the chance to discover lesser-known aspects of Lucio Dalla's life and the stories behind some of his most famous songs. The songs will be performed live by talented musicians and special guests, featuring at least three different vocalists, while remaining true to the artist's unique musical style and spirit.
Special guest of the evening will be Pierluigi “Gigi” Lunedei, a much-loved local artist from Cervia, who reached the final of The Voice Senior 2025 and will bring his extraordinary voice to the stage.
An evening of music, emotion and shared experiences, celebrating with the local community the return of an important cultural and social venue.
