St Magnus International Festival
St Magnus International Festival is Orkney’s annual celebration of the arts. Musical events are at the heart of the artistic programme, the Festival also encompasses drama, dance, literature and visual arts.
The Italian Institute is very proud to be associated with the St Magnus International Festival 2014.
A number of events have been programmed to commemorate the creation of the Italian Chapel and the release of the Italian Prisoners of War in 1944.
The Festival makes use of various venues around Orkney, from the Romanesque grandeur of St Magnus Cathedral to the poignant intimacy of the Italian Chapel.
This round table event looks at the fascinating history of the Italian Chapel and its creators and the wider context of Italians at war through the eyes of a distinguished panel of experts: James Runcie, Philip Paris, Wendy Ugolini, Carlo Pirozzi and Fabio Chiocchetti.
