The fourth edition of the Vittorio Inzaina Award kicks off tonight in Telti, an event created to commemorate the artistic figure of the town's native singer and to offer a showcase and new opportunities for the island's young talents. In the square in front of the Church of Santa Vittoria, music will take center stage: 37 singers will compete, divided into age categories. Among the new features of this fourth edition, directed by singer and teacher Claudia Aru, is a masterclass by Grazia Di Michele, scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd, from 4 to 6 pm, in the Telti City Council Chamber.
