On the afternoon of Sunday 9 July, in the archpriest’s church of Cison di Valmarino, the concert of the Piccola Orchestra Veneta and its Soloists, conducted by the director Giancarlo Nadai, was a great success in terms of participation and appreciation on the part of a very large audience, including those from outside the province, who packed the splendid sacred building in Cison.
