An Italian Themed Day in Honour of Violinist Marino Capulli
Last week MTGS hosted an exciting violin recital with Italian virtuoso Marino Capulli. Marino, who flew in especially from Rome, is the lead player with the Italian string orchestra Gli Archi del Cherubino. The string orchestra had visited the School just before Christmas. The exciting opportunity came via Dr Alberto Sanna, who is the Senior Lecturer in Music at Liverpool Hope University.
To mark the occasion the Girls’ School adopted an Italian theme for the day and Dr Sanna came in to talk to the girls about Italian life, culture, language, history and food. All subjects adopted the Italian theme, for example the Maths Department looked at the works of Fiobonacci, and there was a football match at lunchtime between staff and girls. Pupils enjoyed an Italian lunch and gelato for dessert was a particular hit.
Liverpool artist and sculptor, Mike Badger, also got involved to work with pupils from each art group producing a stunning set of sculptures made up of broken violin pieces. These provided the backdrop to the recital.
