19-06-2015

Friday, June 19 from Arezzo.
Terzani Valenti, Brogi, and Cipriani Guarducci organize a double walk from Florence (starting June 18) and Arezzo (June 19) to get to the Pratomagno the afternoon of 20 June; the first, more intimate and spiritual, the second, a true driving rock targata Arezzo Wave

Backpack, tent, live music and spirituality; so enthusiastically on the shoulders, head and legs. Solstizio2015 is the first edition of the project The March of the Sun, a dual path along three days
: From Florence (starting June 18) is scheduled for the trip intimate in nature, historic sites; Arezzo (starting June 19) the wave rock targata Arezzo Wave. The arrival is for all the Cross of Pratomagno in the afternoon of 20 June. After the big party will wait for the sunrise in the shortest night of the year, that between 20 and 21 June. Who wants to be a "traveler" for three days, on the site www.marciadelsole.it will find all the information to participate, free of charge, to the march.

The idea comes from the characters and stories with credits definitely different from each other that they have today presented the idea during a press conference in Arezzo at Space Seed: Enzo Brogi, the Regional Council, Folco Terzani, writer and documentary filmmaker, Barbara Guarducci, designers, Mauro Valenti, artistic director Arezzo Wave and Lorenzo Cipriani, art historian.
Two departures - Florence and Arezzo - two different paths of the CAI to the summit of the same mountain suggestive at 1600 meters. On the one hand a search of historical places, a more exclusive nature and spirituality; the other a Woodstock-style path. From Florence it will take the path most spiritual, meditative, divided into three main stages located along the ancient Via Ghibellina; from Arezzo, instead, a journey punctuated by pit stops, dedicated to concerts targati Arezzo Wave Love Festival.
"For three days, the only institution that feel above us will be sunny. We needed to set up and a new energy on our feet and to associate it to an event that involved all of us - explains Enzo Brogi - The March of the Sun is a unique project of its kind; It consists of two different souls moved by the same desire, to reach a special place, wonderful hill, turn to the sun. Not only we believed in us, but we found the support and availability including by local officials: Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, the President of the Province of Arezzo, Roberto Vasai, the mayors of the Valdarno and the Casentino. To them all a special thanks. "
"We want to leave the city and be reunited with nature. We intend to do plowing a path that at its height, the shortest night of the year, will enable us to meet the sun, the source of life on earth. We will live strong emotions, help us, we will share the difficulties, but everyone must be responsible for declaring whether same- Folco Terzani, who will start from Florence-Two paths, two different ways to approach a complex and fascinating journey, which will reach the same milestone for us reconnect, all of them, with the sun's energy. The road will be hard, but we are all equal in front of the sun, we rejoin with his energy. It will be an event, but this year the summer solstice falls on a Sunday; sun-day, the day of the sun ".
"We shall revisit the ancient Via Ghibellina almost without touching a tarmac road through part of the original paths that still show the old stone-paved. Those stones were trampled by countless travelers over the centuries, as well as by armies, merchants and pilgrims - explains Lorenzo Cipriani, about the walk from Firenze Even Dante in 1289 he had to walk along this road to get to the battle of Campaldino as fighter riding , 'where he had a lot of dread et great joy in order for them various cases that battle' '.
"Imagine a secular procession of two days, 19 and 20 June, from Arezzo, or more precisely from the Stadium of Castiglion Fibocchi.- explains Mauro Valenti, with respect to the path of Arezzo - A procession in several stages, which will be meeting points for new Marchers-hikers. Upon our arrival, in the afternoon of June 20, the sun and the silence of expectation will be joined by singing, dancing, music. From Florence or from Arezzo? Perhaps I prefer the path of Folco, spiritual and fascinating rather than driving a march of 'rockers'. Seriously, it is two faces of the usual sun and that we start from Florence or from Castiglion Fibocchi hope that many do not lose the opportunity to walk with us to the Pratomagno and breathe the same energy. "
