The true protagonists of this successful Labour Day event are the songs of freedom, the labour songs, the songs of dissent, the songs of struggle, the protest songs, the liberation songs, the industrial folk songs, the environmental songs, the songs of equality, the peace songs created over the past centuries by working people across the world. Spearheaded by Ambrogio Sparagna and his Orchestra Popolare Italiana dell’Auditorium Parco della Musica, and with the participation of Anna Rita Colaianni’s Coro Popolare and a selection of children’s choirs, the programme includes gastronomy, exhibitions, songs and dances from the Italian folk tradition.
