Gaia Bastreghi is above all an actress. She’s one of those people capable of risking their own talents by dividing themselves between the traditional theater and comedy, between the new Italian cinema, often with good ideas but almost always short of funds, and the opulent neurotic television screen. Gaia, like all true comedians, who belong to a species totally dedicated to the muses of the theater, has in the meantime also discovered her strong leanings for organization. However, to be organizers in this difficult, stimulating job implies being capable of doing several jobs. Being an actor or also a director or, maybe, a careful observer of the changes of customs in the theater and also an author. After having worked and lived in Rome for many years she has been doing her own thing for the last two summers. She left her home and took up residence in the Chianti to be the artistic director of a festival which deserves our admiration and which will, in time, attract a much larger public. Thus we have the second edition of the “Festival del Chianti” which, thanks to the love of this actress-author-organizer, has gained international recognition. In the last edition, Lindsay Kemp danced and the director Herve Ducroux brought his genius to a show of theater and music presented in Radda in Chianti. The reasons for not letting the Chianti lose such an important cultural opportunity all exist. Now, those who administer the Chianti have the last word.
