A concert to mark Navigazione Laghi\u2019s second centenary with Milan\u2019s I Pomeriggi Musicali orchestra<\/p>\n\n

Two centuries of boat journeys, quays and communities brought together by water. On 20 February Navigazione Laghi celebrated a historic landmark on Lake Maggiore with a classical music concert hosted by Verbania town council. It was a formal, well attended event designed to pay homage to a public service which has played such a key role in community life for two centuries. It was Milan\u2019s I Pomeriggi Musicali orchestra which took to the stage, an orchestra founded in 1945 to combine the great classics – from the early Viennese classics onwards – with contemporary music in an ongoing dialogue between past and present. \u201cOurs is an institution which has been pursuing its mission for over eighty years now: performing the music of our own day in a range of lexicons, without ever losing sight of tradition\u201d, stressed the orchestra\u2019s general artistic director Maurizio Salerno, noting its commitment to promoting not only its historic Milan base, Teatro Dal Verme, but also the surrounding areas by working with theatres such as Verbania\u2019s. The concert was thus a metaphor for Navigazione Laghi\u2019s own history, with its strong roots and capacity for innovation. \u201cWe play a centre-stage role in the area with our daily local transport services,\u201d said the Manager Pietro Marrapodi. \u201cWe work tirelessly to provide new routes and services to ensure an increasingly efficient and effective service.\u201d Mayor Giandomenico Albertella reiterated the historic and social value of the body: \u201cOver these two hundred years Navigazione Lago Maggiore has plied its waters with motorboats and ferries, linking the lakes\u2019 banks and building a bridge between communities and for those who work here.\u201d With its music and applause the evening celebrated both a great milestone and a shared patrimony: two centuries of service which are still bringing people, economies and histories together on the banks of Lake Maggiore.<\/p>\n\n
