About No(t)te di Luce

No(t)te di Luce - Symphonies of Life is a charity candlelight concert held at the foot of the first giant bench in Busca, in the province of Cuneo. On a hillside illuminated by hundreds of candles at sunset, three musicians perform the music of Ludovico Einaudi to raise funds for palliative care. The initiative, promoted by the La Cura nello Sguardo association, combines music, emotion, and solidarity in an evening of profound human significance.

A candlelight concert at the foot of the giant bench

No(t)te di Luce - Symphonies of Life is a special evening that weaves together music and solidarity in the heart of Piedmont, in Busca, in the province of Cuneo. The chosen venue is highly symbolic: the first Big Bench installed in the Busca area, positioned on a hillside and renamed La Cura nello Sguardo. As the sun sets, the natural landscape surrounding the Big Bench is enveloped by the warmth and charm of hundreds of lit candles, creating an intimate and serene atmosphere that frames the concert.

The music of Ludovico Einaudi

The stars of the evening are the famous and moving notes of Ludovico Einaudi, performed live by three exceptional artists: maestro Lorenzo Martini on piano, Sara Cesano on violin, and Chiara Di Benedetto on cello. The repertoire is the same one previously presented by the musicians in the valley in an equally evocative setting. The choice of Einaudi is no coincidence: his music, as the organizers explain, knows no barriers and has the power to console, unite, and vibrate with life, in perfect harmony with the spirit of the event.

Music and solidarity for palliative care

No(t)te di Luce was born from a clear and ambitious goal: to bring many people to the hillside to show the community's closeness and raise vital funds. The initiative is promoted by the La Cura nello Sguardo association, chaired by Fabrizio Giai, which is committed to promoting and supporting palliative care in the Cuneo area. Voluntary donations collected during the evening are entirely donated to the association's projects, which support patients and families during their most fragile moments, safeguarding their dignity and quality of life.

An event rooted in the Busca area

The event enjoys the prestigious patronage of the Municipality of Busca and the valuable support of MGO Marco Gallo Odontoiatria. The giant bench hosting the concert is part of the Big Bench project associated with the organization, serving as symbols of hope and solidarity spread between Busca and Cuneo. Participating in No(t)te di Luce means experiencing an emotional journey immersed in the nature of the Busca hillside while concretely contributing to an important cause for the entire community of the Province of Cuneo.
