Relais 
April 2022 - January 2023
With the patronage of the Umbria Region, the Province of Perugia, the Municipality of Sellano
An ancient medieval village in the heart of Umbria has become the home to cultural events, hosting artists from all over the world: Castello di Postignano, in Valnerina, a few kilometres from Spoleto, this year celebrates the tenth edition of Un castello all’orizzonte season of events, spanning from April to October.
This edition marks an important new phase for Castello di Postignano, aiming to constantly improve its structures and services. A new addition is the opening of the Tavola Rossa, a gourmet restaurant and Chef's Table by the multi-starred Vincenzo Guarino, who interprets Italian cuisine in a convivial, unconventional way, including amateur and professional cooking classes.
The hamlet's ancient wood-burning oven is also being restored, to cook traditional pizza to be savoured in the new cosy square, in the shade of a large linden tree.
The series of wide ranging events includes: the exhibition of paintings by Renzo Scopa, photos from Africa by Pietro del Re; Patrice Warnant's Croquis de voyage; contemporary music with Michela Musco's group; the guitar and mandolin duo of Riccardo Del Prete and Carla Senese; the baroque cellos by Marc Vanscheeuwijck; Conversations with piano by Sergio Lattes; the presentation of the book Baciarsi by Elisabetta Moro and Marino Niola; the screening of Laura Valente's documentary on Caruso; Michèle Delisle's painting masterclass; the Jazz concert in classic by Fiorella Rambotti, piano, Sandro Lazzeri, guitar, Antonio Donadeo, drums and Mattia Pelosi, double bass; Goffredo Fofi presenting the second volume of the History of Neapolitan Song 1932-2003 by Pasquale Scialò; the screening of the documentary on Pompeii by Pappi Corsicato.
There are also three permanent exhibitions: Artists for Castello di Postignano; Italian Hilltowns, photographs by Norman Carver Jr.; Between tradition and avant-garde, 1900-1930, photographs by GennaroMatacena Sr.
