70 Years of Sanremo Fashion: Exhibition at Forte di Santa Tecla
An exhibition at Forte di Santa Tecla in Sanremo traces 70 years of the Sanremo Music Festival through fashion, featuring iconic outfits worn by performers such as Mia Martini, Gigliola Cinquetti, and Dalida. The centerpiece is Dalida's red dress from the tragic 1967 edition when Luigi Tenco died by suicide. The show recreates period settings, including a 1950s living room with a vintage radio, and uses archival photos, videos, and creative montages to illustrate the cultural evolution of Italy as reflected in the festival's music, style, and stage design. Curated by Dario Salvatori, the exhibition opened in February 2020.
