Our friends from Impruneta (FI) will come to San Cataldo to honor us with their presence.
The artist who created the ceramic panel of the sixth station of the Via Crucis in the monumental complex of Piazza Calvario, Luca Vanni, lives in the city of Impruneta.
The artistic twinning initiative, proposed by the Pro Loco Tourist Association of San Cataldo, has been accepted by our friends from Impruneta, who will be the guests of honor at the Easter celebrations. After official greetings from the San Cataldo administration, our friends from Impruneta will experience, in addition to the unique Holy Week celebrations in San Cataldo, the Solfare Persico Mining Park in Gabara, the Vassallaggi archaeological site, the historic center of San Cataldo, and, of course, sample our gastronomic specialties.
From April 1st to 4th we will have with us the Deputy Mayor of Impruneta Laura Cioni, the President of the Pro Loco Emanuela Secci and the Secretary Annalisa Pacini.
This is the program reserved for them: We thank all those who collaborated to carry forward this artistic twinning.
