January 17, 2017 – On the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maestro Arturo Toscanini and the 60th of his death, Salini Impregilo celebrates the Italian genius and one of the world’s greatest orchestra conductors with a series of events and products.

The first of these is the book “The Maestro: A Life in Pictures” published by Rizzoli with inedited material on the life of Toscanini. Sponsored by Salini Impregilo, it will go on sale worldwide on March 20, 2017. 

Its launch will be supported by a series of concerts in Italy and the United States beginning March 21 when the book will be presented in the Toscanini Foyer of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. In addition there will also be a photography exhibitionat the theatre’s museum, Museo Teatrale alla Scala, as well as the projection of video on the life of Maestro Toscanini curated by his official biographer, Harvey Sachs.

The following week, concerts and presentations will be held in the United States - first at the Italian Embassy in Washington, D.C. (March 27-28) and then at the Rizzoli bookstore in New York (March 29) - to celebrate Toscanini’s genius and everything that inspired his work: excellence, innovation, passion and freedom and ability to perform.

Salini Impregilo, the sponsor of the initiative, celebrates with Toscanini the same values that have guided the Group since it was founded 110 years ago.
