On 19 September, 5PM, Bersong EuroPinoy for the first time will be in Naga.
It will feature from classics and acclaimed works of European writers/poets read by EU representatives to poems in Naga's native languages. This year, Italy will introduce a novelty:
thanks to the PIA new partnership with the Italian poetry festival “La punta della lingua” this new edition of Bersong EuroPinoy will screen an anime version of L’infinito (The Infinite - 1819) by Giacomo Leopardi.

The talented Simone Massi, one of the top Animation Cinema directors and illustrators in the world, added the poetic dimension of his drawing to the masterpiece of the great poet, Giacomo Leopardi himself. The narrator’s voice is that of the actor Neri Marcorè while the music was composed by Stefano Sasso. The result is a 1 ½ minutes of immersive poetry.

This dreamlike work, commissioned by the Municipality of Recanati (the hometown of Giacomo Leopardi), is a co-production with Nie Wiem: a publisher, film producer, organizer of the short film festival “Corto Dorico”, and the poetry festival, “La punta della lingua”, which is part of the project “Marche della Poesia” and to which the #PhilippineItalianAssociation has partnered to be able to present this work.
