Two years before the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games, the host city is staging a series of major cultural events through a festival called MenoDUE (two years to go) which is being held in Piedmont between February and March.
The festival will include dance, the figurative arts, literature, music, photography and theatre.
Last year’s event called MenoTRE, and MenoDUE this year are opportunities to test the territory prior to the 2006 Games.
Evelina Christillin, Turin 2006’s Deputy President said, “the Olympics of Culture that we will organize during the Games of 2006 purports to seek and venture upon new roads and create a virtuous community that removes barriers and differences of all kinds, according to the Olympic spirit”.
