I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music. — Billy Joel
Arena, Verona
Purtroppo, I will not be going to Italy this year. Regrettable, indeed. I’ve been away two years in a row now, and I’m getting a little twitchy.
But if you get the chance to go, and if you’re a music lover, you’re in luck. There are some fabulous musical festivals and events this year from one end of the boot to the other. Opera buff? Jazz hound? Classical music aficionado?
There’s something for everybody . . . look for the British flag or the English button in the links below.
