To celebrate the start of Italy’s new mandate at the Human Rights Council for the 2026-2028 term, the Permanent Mission is organizing the concert “From Morricone to Bacalov: the Music and Screen of Southern Italian Cinema” at the Assembly Hall of the Palais des Nations on 5 February 2026 at 6pm.
We propose an innovative event connecting music and cinema, which originates from the European Union-funded project “Music4D”, led by Palermo’s Conservatory “Alessandro Scarlatti” in partnership with an array of Italian Conservatories and Universities and aimed at developing the intersection between music and digital technologies.
The orchestra, composed by young musicians, will guide the audience on a journey through soundtracks arranged by masters such as Ennio Morricone and Luis Bacalov and related to some of the most significant films set in Southern Italy, including “Il Gattopardo”, “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” and “The Postman”.
This initiative wishes to celebrate our mandate at the Human Rights Council, by relying on the power of music and cinema as instruments for mutual understanding, for cultural cooperation and ultimately for peace among nations.
The event is open to persons with and without UN badge but it is necessary to register at this link.
