Conférence "Les rêves brisés de Napoléon" par Laëtitia de Witt et Franco Borruto
14 October 2021
Le 14 octobre 1815, le navire de Sa Majesté britannique le Northumberland jette l’ancre dans la baie de Sainte-Hélène. Sa Majesté Napoléon 1er, fraichement redevenu pour les anglais le Général Bonaparte, entre en captivité.
Du pont du navire, il regarde l’ile qui sera sa prison et son tombeau. Que se passe-t-il dans la tête de Sa Majesté en apercevant les contours de Jamestown capitale de Sainte-Hélène ? Située sur la côte, s’étirant sur 1,5 kilomètres, dépourvue de port, l’île est lugubre, encaissée entre deux montagnes. Sûrement l’Empereur pense à d’autres mois d’octobre qui ont changé sa vie. Par exemple, le 13 vendémiaire (5 octobre) 1795 et la répression de l’insurrection royaliste, le 14 octobre 1806 et la bataille d’Iéna, mais aussi son mariage avec l’archiduchesse d'Autriche Marie-Louise, décidé en octobre 1809.
Parmi les pensées de Napoléon, son fils, né d’un accouchement laborieux aux forceps le 20 mars 1811. Il ne le reverra jamais plus.
La conférence raconte quels sont les rêves et les projets de Napoléon et ce qu’il en reste, 200 ans après.

European Heritage Days: Cantin d'A Roca
24 September 2023
In 1993, the Comité National des Traditions Monégasques decided to re-establish Monegasque language classes for adults. These included Jo DI PASQUA (musician, songwriter) and a number of former master students. The revival of our language, as requested by H.S.H. Prince Rainier III, led to contemporary lyricists and composers writing new songs (notably poems by Paulette CHERICI-PORELLO, Alex BOVINI, Georges FRANZI, Ange FASCIOLO and Louis PRINCIPALE were set to music by Jo DI PASQUA), not forgetting the existing musical heritage of Louis NOTARI, Marc CURTI, Henri CROVETTO and José BERGONZI. In 1995, it was decided to create a group of singers, and so "U Cantin d'a Roca" (La Chanterelle du Rocher) was born.

European Heritage Days: Association Internationale des Artistes Plasticiens (AIAP)
24 September 2023
For this new edition of the Monegasque Heritage Day, we'd like to evoke the skills and traditions that stem from interaction with the living world, highlighting the richness of the interactions that man cultivates with his environment, mentioning the (co)relationships and exchanges between human communities and other living beings (animals, plants, bacteria...) and thus integrating the idea of the living in the proper sense into this definition of living heritage, which still seems too reduced to human beings alone.
