It was the &#8216;year 1952 and around the corner still rumbled the ghosts of the twenty-year period and the war. Piles of rubble were making a fine show in various strategic places in the city (the &#8220;Mancini&#8221; stadium is worth mentioning) and Arezzo was preparing for the transition from an agricultural economy (and mentality) to an industrial one: a passage as lightning-fast as it was massive that Piero Magi summarized in a phrase that has remained famous: the Aretine peasant, entering his house in the evening, leaned his hoe against the doorframe and left the next morning in his lambretta to go to work in the factory.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/5&#8243;][vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;&#8220;false&#8220;&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; style=&#8221;boxed_accordion&#8221;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;`{` continue reading `}`&#8221; title_tag=&#8221;h5&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; title_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column_text]The newly formed &#8220;Friends of Music&#8221; Association (it had just been founded under the auspices of the &#8220;Petrarch&#8221; Academy: the statute bears the date of January 14, 1950) succeeded in organizing the competition, which was prudently kept for that year at the national level (it was held in September, specifically on the 7th, 8th and 9th). The success, more than flattering, stimulated the imagination of the founders (a select patrol of professionals chaired by a young magistrate with a passion for music: Dr. Mario Bucciolotti, with honorary members of the caliber of M\u00b0 Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Prof. Francesco Severi and the recently deceased Father Vigilio Guidi). Artistic director of the event was one of the most distinguished musicians and musical organizers of those years, Luigi Colacicchi, who was assisted by Augusto Cartoni and a group of talented musicians from Arezzo including Bruto Tignani, a violinist of the German school and director of the Scuola di Musica del Praticino, so that already the second edition (1953) was international, with the presence in Arezzo of as many as 6 nations. The days dedicated to the competition increased from three to five, with a shift from September to June (from the 25th to the 29th). &#8220;Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda,&#8221; Dante warned: the 1954 edition made the internationality of the competition definitive, although there were only three participating nations (Switzerland, Austria and Yugoslavia). However, the month of August was experimented with, which was, moreover, considered optimal, so much so that it remained definitive until 2010 and was reinstated for the next 2012 edition, after a brief September interlude that proved inadequate for several reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Polyphonic has made its mark on culture and custom in Arezzo with grace and harmony.<\/p>\n<p>The Berlin Wall was torn down as early as the early 1970s with East and West German choirs singing with fraternal enthusiasm, heedless of ideological barriers. Even a president of the Republic, under whose high patronage the Competition stands, came to Arezzo for its tenth anniversary in 1962: Antonio Segni, the only head of state who ever attended the Arezzo event. The Polyphonic years marked the slow, but important and substantial improvements of Italian polyphony, which ended up winning prizes as well: in 1967 the Coradini Chorale (freshly founded, dating back to the beginning of that year!) won the men&#8217;s choir competition under the direction of maestro Fosco Corti destined to become one of the unforgettable characters of the choral kermesse and leaving with his untimely death an unbridgeable void. The organizers requested the high patronage of the President of the Republic Giovanni Gronchi, and obtained it without any difficulty: proof of the prestige now achieved by the event. A prestige reaffirmed and definitively sanctioned at the European level by the following year&#8217;s 1955 edition, the fourth since its founding and the third of the international competition. There were seven participating nations: Austria, West Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, France and, of course, Italy. The &#8216;organization was excellent in every respect, and the jury lined up some of the finest names in European choral music (Hans Haug, Hans Gillesberger [1]) and Italian choral music, from Alfredo Bonaccorsi to Celestino Eccher; from Lino Liviabella to Achille Schinelli (a name that in choral music for Italian schools corresponds to that of Sapegno for Dante!); from Bonaventura Somma to Luigi Toffolo, to a musician like Mario Peragallo. Other legendary names were those of Nino Antonellini, who replaced Colacicchi as director of the competition, and Franco Abbiati. Finally, of particular interest is the presence from the early days of the competition of W.S. Gwynn Williams, artistic director of the Llangollen Choral Festival, a sign that people were already looking to Europe and the world. And finally the political world and the big media realized the value that the Arezzo event could have, for the growth of the country&#8217;s cultural life tout court.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the title &#8220;Voices from all over the world in Arezzo,&#8221; Incom Week devoted to this third edition of the Polifonico a short, but effective and incisive report: it was one of the first times that Arezzo rose to the &#8216;honor of the national chronicle not for a reason related to politics, art or literature, but for an exquisitely musical reason, moreover related to its most illustrious son in the &#8220;branch&#8221;: the monk Guido! The film shows the packed audience of the &#8220;Petrarca&#8221; at the moment of the &#8216;inauguration of the Competition by Undersecretary Brusasca. The camera then lingers (not so briefly that its artistic and spectacular features cannot be grasped: the shots are professionally impeccable) on five ensembles, including the one from Arezzo that had brought, out of competition, the city&#8217;s greetings to the foreign guests: it is the &#8220;Guido Monaco&#8221; Chorale Translated with www.DeepL.com\/Translator (free version)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221; border_style=&#8221;&#8221; thickness=&#8221;5&#8243; color=&#8221;#c88f86&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Roll of Honor<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; style=&#8221;boxed_accordion&#8221;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;+ Arezzo City Grand Prix&#8221; title_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;][vc_column_text]2008 \u2013 Coro El leon de oro (Spagna)<\/p>\n<p>2009 \u2013 Vokalna Akademija (Slovenia)<\/p>\n<p>2010 \u2013 Svenska Kammark\u00f6ren (Svezia)<\/p>\n<p>2011 \u2013 Chamber Choir Vox Gaudiosa (Giappone)<\/p>\n<p>2012 \u2013 APZ Tone Tom\u0161i\u010d (Slovenia)<\/p>\n<p>2013 \u2013 New Dublin Voices (Irlanda)<\/p>\n<p>2014 \u2013 OREYA (Ucraina)<\/p>\n<p>2015 \u2013 Lautitia Mixed Youth Choir (Ungheria)<\/p>\n<p>2016 \u2013 Philippine Madrigal Singers (Filippine)<\/p>\n<p>2017 \u2013 Beijing Philarmonic Choir (Cina)<\/p>\n<p>2018 \u2013 University of the Philippines Singing Ambassadors (Filippine)<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;+ Vocal Groups&#8221; title_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>2009<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
