GENOVA, Genova— On Feb. 27, Shen Yun International Company presented two performances—an afternoon and an evening show—at Genova’s renowned Teatro Carlo Felice, both to full houses. The auditorium resounded with enthusiastic applause and cheers as audiences expressed their heartfelt appreciation. Many remarked that the performance was one worth seeing again and again.

Among those attending the evening performance was Riccardo Di Rella Tomasi Di Lampedusa, a senior criminal lawyer who has previously served multiple terms as president of the local bar association.

Following the performance, he spoke highly of Shen Yun’s overall artistic vision and its seamless integration of high-tech elements, while also expressing appreciation for the company’s mission to revive traditional Chinese culture.

“It’s a wonderful show. I liked everything about it,” he said.

“I liked everything about the performance,” he said. “To synchronize precisely with the images on the screen, the timing of the performers going in and out has to be exact. I imagine that’s quite complicated—even their positions must be perfect. That part of the staging impressed me very much.

“I especially liked when the Monkey King appeared,” he said with enthusiasm. “When he starts moving inside the screen, that’s what amazes you. And the quick costume changes are also fascinating. I’d love to understand how they do it—but perhaps that’s a secret.”

In his view, the preservation and restoration of tradition is not solely the Chinese people’s responsibility, but a shared human calling. “All traditions should be recovered, not only Chinese ones,” he said.
