The fourth edition of Gala Italia 2024 took place in Munich, celebrating the essence of Made in Italy with “Chiaroscuro”, a concert-performance blending music, art, and tradition. The evening featured the rendition of Cherubini’s Messa Solenne and the presentation of Tableaux Vivants inspired by Caravaggio’s paintings.
This remarkable event, one of the highlights of the evening, was organized by All about Italy, an initiative that has been promoting Italian excellence worldwide since 1997. The concert featured Luigi Cherubini’s Messa Solenne in D minor No. 2 “For Prince Esterházy”, directed by Annunziata De Paola.

Nearly one hundred artists collaborated to merge the visual intensity of Caravaggio’s art with Cherubini’s music into an extraordinary experience.After the concert, guests had the pleasure of attending an exclusive dinner at the prestigious The Charles Hotel Munich, a Rocco Forte Hotel, further enhancing the event’s refined and exclusive atmosphere.
