Opinions

What they say about Crescendo

"I enjoyed so much doing things I hadn't done before, the creative and artistic parts gave me the opportunity to bring it to the mind, so to speak".

"My experience in Perugia was especially positive, very beautiful. Working with people you meet for the first time, in this case from Spain and Turkey".

"It was a very intense experience, one that you should definitely do, and from which I took away many important points for my future project".

"My experience was generally positive, and I am very grateful to have participated".

"I have witnessed the impact of the theater and theatrical pursuits on human life and personal evolution, beyond art".

For me, Crescendo is about bringing to the doorstep of those who work in rural areas, which are sometimes very isolated places, the opportunity to highlight the value of their trades and help them reconnect with what they are doing.
