Under The Tuscan Sun

To put a piece of Sundance to Cortona: that seems to have been the aim of Robert Redford, who in August visited the town in the province of Arezzo in order to participate, with a recital poem, Tuscan Sun Festival . Redford, who has studied teenagers in Tuscany, Florence, appeared fascinated by the beauty and atmosphere of the places he visited: "It's amazing how the campaign is here to offer me ideas - he said. - The cycle of the earth here is genuine, uncompromised, the reality is the basis behind this film festival. The actor then indicated a probable future location for the creation of a section of Sundance: Castle Medici Girifalco, which was built in the 1500s by the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo

Recently restored, it is now an exhibition hall in the summer months, and can be visited from April to September. From the top of the tower, you can take a breathtaking view of Cortona and the valley of the Chiana Valley.

The Tuscan Sun Festival was founded and is directed by Barrett Wissman, head of ImgArtist, an organization well known and powerful in the international standard, bringing for the last 6 years and glamorous stars (from Baryshnikov to Sofia Loren) in this corner of Tuscany, with views over Lake Trasimeno. Given the encouraging response, Wissman then also "exported" the festival of the Napa Valley (in its third edition this year) and Singapore (Second Edition).
