🎬 In this special video, we see a touching scene from the story Vallecupola. On stage at the Teatro Goldoni in Venice, a group of actors reads the story aloud while gentle, emotional music plays in the background.
This part of the story takes place in a big farmhouse kitchen. The girls are peeling corn, the boys are braiding the husks, and everyone dances together as a boy plays the accordion. Lucrezia, the main character, thinks about her little sister Aurora, who recites a beautiful nursery rhyme. Then the party ends: Edoardo has to leave with the sheep, and Lucrezia simply says, “I'll wait for you.” 💔
The video is from “Note e Parole,” the final evening of the Campiello Giovani Prize 2024, which took place on September 20th, 2024, in Venice. The music was written by two young students from CPM Music Institute in Milan, a school where people study to become professional musicians! 🎵
This short, intense performance—recorded on September 20, 2024, at the Teatro Goldoni in Venice—presents a live reading of a key excerpt from the story Vallecupola, with original music playing alongside the actors' voices. It was part of “Note e Parole,” the closing event of the Campiello Giovani Prize 2024.
The chosen scene is one of the most symbolic in the story: the corn husking ritual, where girls and boys work together, tease one another, and dance tightly in a farmhouse room to the sound of an accordion. A nursery rhyme recited by little Aurora touches on themes of growth, waiting, and golden rewards. Then the mood shifts—Edoardo leaves at dawn, and Lucrezia remains behind.
The music—composed by Giovanni Deidda and Giulia Leone, students at the CPM Music Institute in Milan—perfectly matches the emotional arc: from lighthearted celebration to the quiet ache of farewell.
This video excerpt, taken from the evening event “Note e Parole” (Campiello Giovani Prize, September 20, 2024, Teatro Goldoni, Venice), presents a staged reading of one of the most emotionally and thematically rich blocks of the short story Vallecupola, accompanied by original live music.
Set during a communal corn husking ritual, the excerpt depicts a vibrant rural tradition: peeling corn, braiding husks, music, dancing. Aurora’s nursery rhyme evokes the cycle of life, harvest, and expectation. There's humor and liveliness, but also a slow buildup to a turning point—Edoardo’s quiet departure with the sheep, and Lucrezia’s whispered farewell: “I'll wait for you.”
The reading is paired with a soundtrack composed by Giovanni Deidda and Giulia Leone, students at CPM Music Institute, a Milan-based higher education music school (AFAM-accredited) founded by Franco Mussida, focused on contemporary and pop music composition and performance.
A successful and respectful adaptation that conveys the multilayered emotional texture of the original narrative.
🎥🔥 This scene is a vibe! From the final event “Note e Parole” (Venice, Sept 20, 2024), actors read one of the most moving moments from Vallecupola—and the music makes it even better. 🎶 The score was written by two up-and-coming musicians from CPM Music Institute Milan: Giovanni Deidda and Giulia Leone.
What happens? A mix of fun, corn, dancing, and farewells. 🌽💃💔 Lucrezia and the others are peeling corn, dancing to accordion music, laughing… but then comes the goodbye. Edoardo leaves with the herd, and Lucrezia watches him disappear down the valley. She just says, “I'll wait for you.”
🎯 Watch it, feel it, share it. This is a story that sings and stings—and stays with
you.
