MORIAGO DELLA BATTAGLIA. The curtain is about to fall on the ninth edition of the “IX Festival of Culture,” a showcase that has enriched the cultural fabric of the Moriago della Battaglia area with a series of meetings, performances, and significant events. The association “Moriago Racconta,” promoter of the initiative, has chosen to conclude this edition with a tribute that promises to be unforgettable, dedicated to one of the brightest talents in Italian and international music: Maestro Ezio Bosso.
The concert, titled “A Day in Another World,” will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, starting at 9 PM. The chosen location is the picturesque Isola dei Morti Park, a place rich in history and natural beauty, which will provide an ideal backdrop for the intense musical atmospheres of the evening. In case of adverse weather conditions, the event will be promptly moved to the Mosnigo Multipurpose Center, ensuring its regular occurrence.
The absolute protagonist of the evening will be the ZerØ Piano Trio, a chamber ensemble of exceptional talent and a deep connection to Maestro Bosso. The trio consists of Giacomo Agazzini on violin, Claudia Ravetto on cello, and Feryanto Demichelis on piano. Their performance will not be a simple concert, but a true musical narrative, a journey through Bosso’s compositions, enriched by the testimonies and interpretations of those who shared an artistic and human journey with him.
The figure of Ezio Bosso, born in Turin in 1971 and who passed away prematurely in 2020, is that of a composer, pianist, and conductor who left an indelible mark on the contemporary music scene. His music, as highlighted in the statement, was “capable of uniting emotional depth, artistic research, and extraordinary human sensitivity.” This ability to touch the most intimate strings of the human soul allowed him to win a vast audience and unanimous critical acclaim. His career saw him perform on the stages of the most prestigious international theaters and collaborate with world-renowned European orchestras, solidifying his reputation as an artist of rare greatness.
In addition to his musical genius, Ezio Bosso is remembered for his extraordinary message of hope and humanity. Despite the neurodegenerative disease that affected him in the last years of his life, the Maestro continued to spread an unconditional love for music and for life itself, transforming his condition into a source of inspiration for millions of people. His resilience, strength of spirit, and unwavering faith in the saving power of art made him a symbol of courage and a beacon of light in a world often disoriented. His legacy goes far beyond the notes, embracing a philosophy of life that invited people to “transform music into a universal language capable of speaking to everyone.”
The curator of the Festival, Lorena Gava, expressed with touching words the significance of this concluding choice: «We wanted to close this ninth edition of the Festival of Culture with an appointment that was not only musical but also profoundly human. After all, Ezio Bosso represented an extraordinary example of sensitivity, talent, and the ability to transform music into a universal language capable of speaking to everyone. It will therefore be an intense evening, immersed in the beauty of the Isola dei Morti Park, to share emotions and art together.» This statement highlights the desire to offer the audience not only an aesthetic experience but also a moment of reflection and deep sharing, in line with the spirit of the Festival.
The connection of the ZerØ Piano Trio with Ezio Bosso is particularly significant. Claudia Ravetto (cello) and Giacomo Agazzini (violin) were not only collaborators but true dedicators of several works by the Maestro. Their artistic and personal closeness dates back to the early days of Bosso’s career, making them privileged interpreters of his music. They substantially contributed to a large part of the recordings present in the discographic collection “Ezio Bosso – A Life in Music,” published by Sony Classical, a work that testifies to the depth of their artistic relationship. Both also hold prestigious roles as teachers at the “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Turin, passing on their knowledge and passion to new generations of musicians.
Feryanto Demichelis, the pianist of the trio, also has a deep connection with Bosso, having been his student and collaborated with him on various discographic and cinematographic productions. His direct experience with the Maestro further enriches the authenticity of the trio’s interpretations. Demichelis is also the founder, artistic director, and teacher of classical and modern piano at the “MusicAvanguardia” School in Rivoli (TO), demonstrating a constant commitment to the dissemination and teaching of music. The performance of the ZerØ Piano Trio thus represents an act of “preserving, enhancing, and giving” the life steps of Ezio Bosso imprinted in his scores, a legacy that the trio feels the duty to safeguard and share with the audience.
The event is free of charge, a gesture that emphasizes the accessibility of culture and the intent to pay tribute to Maestro Bosso available to all. Seats will be available until full capacity, inviting the public to participate in large numbers at this special evening.

This concert is not just the closing of a festival but an opportunity to celebrate life, art, and the message of a man who knew how to transform pain into beauty, leaving an immortal legacy in the hearts of those who knew and loved him through his music.
