Description
No to espresso... but yes to opera: Italy has put in a bid for UNESCO, the UN's cultural agency, to recognise the art of Italian opera singing on its list of intangible global heritage. At the San Carlo theatre in Naples, one of the oldest opera houses in the world, people are delighted with this request for recognition, which is "legitimate" according to its director, Stéphane Lissner. From Verdi to Rossini, it is indeed in the peninsula that this lyrical art sublimating the language of Dante was born. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
