Marconi Square - Muggia 11:30 a.m.

In the central square of the colorful town,
The Muse del Diavolo will perform for about twenty minutes in a street formation, with a performance of drums, bagpipes and tribal dance.
The band, which hails from Lazio and has already performed in Muggia in the past and on the Triskell stage the previous evening, is dedicated to the rediscovery of archaic Italian sounds, and focuses on the bagpipe (the "Musa") and percussion.
Their repertoire evokes medieval sounds considered "forbidden" and "cursed", accompanied by hypnotic dances and zoomorphic masks (devils, wolves), which evoke profane rites and primordial instinct.
