Sordevolo准备在2020年举办标志性的激情游戏
by Daine Taylor
意大利的索德沃洛(Sordevolo)是一个只有1,300名居民的小镇,它以其令人惊叹且未被破坏的风景,山脉,城堡以及每五年的热情作品而闻名。
Sordevolo的热情
自1815年以来,《激情》戏剧是对Sordevolo居民所扮演的“基督激情”的独特重演。在夏季的三个月中,所有当地家庭(包括儿童)都参加了戏剧的准备,建立风景,制作服装,排练并将角色从一代人转移到另一代。
Tourinvest LLC总裁吉安尼·米拉多利(Gianni Miradoli)说:“这是一个独特的事件,只发生每五年。”
The Passion Play actors are all residents of Sordevolo, and none of them are professional actors. For these actors, the play is an endeavor of love for their community — as well as a huge draw for tourists and seasonal visitors. “Here, these actors aren’t professional, but they’re better than professionals because it’s their life, their community, their passion.”
The Passion Play is performed in an open-air amphitheater that transforms a corner of Sordevelo into a corner of Jerusalem during the crucifixion of Jesus. The seating area holds up to 2,300 spectators; is covered; and is equipped with comfortable ergonomic seats.
The play is based on a text written by Giuliano Dati, of Florence, in the 16th century. In the past, it was performed in the Coliseum in Rome every Good Friday. Although it is not known how the play made its way to Sordevolo, this small dedicated community has adopted the spirit of the production and held strong to its memory for more than two centuries.
米拉多利说:“他们尽力而为,所以人们可以永远记住这一事件。”“这是一个很棒的事件,我建议(以前从未有过)尝试Sordevolo的人,因为他们不会失望……这给人留下了深刻的印象。

激情游戏将在每个星期五和周六(以及一些星期日)从6月至2020年9月在Sordevolo演出。
超越舞台
While the Passion Play represents a huge draw for tourists and visitors, it’s far from the only reason people should make the trip. Sordevolo is located in the countryside of the Piedmont region of Italy, and is known for its beautiful mountains, hills and plains, as well as world-class wines, cheeses and truffles.
“I think it’s very [appealing] to come to the region, because you can have an authentic Italian cultural experience,” said Mauro Carbone, director of the Tourism Board of Langhe Monferrato Rocro, also located within the Piedmont region of Italy.
That area of Italy is world renowned for its food and wine selection. “But I think the most important reason is to come and have an experience of real Italy,” Carbone said. “The Italian experience is an experience of food and drink, but also as a way of staying together for Italian people. It’s the philosophy of food, not only the cuisine experience.”
在该地区的自然奇观,令人难以置信的美食和葡萄酒以及即将到来的激情戏之间,2020年似乎是一年成熟的,有机会为那些计划访问Sordevolo的人提供了机会。
“这我s a fantastic region for enogastronomy [food and wine tourism], for art, for culture, for nature. Really, it’s a combination of these and [the Passion Play] that make this place so fantastic. And it’s not too far away from Venice or Florence, so for the people that want to become familiar with other parts of Italy within the span of [a week], they can stay and [experience] a lot of what Italy has to offer,” said Miradoli.
