Starting from her new book on Mozart's masterpiece, Lidia Bramani (Don Giovanni. Mozart, Freemason and Enlightener, Il Saggiatore) offers a reinterpretation that questions the myth of the libertine, rebellious, and nonconformist Don Giovanni. Through a journey that intertwines music, philosophy, and cognitive science, a portrait emerges of a character whose apparent freedom is based on the exercise of power and oppression. Rooted in the cultural and social tensions of the Enlightenment, Mozart's Don Giovanni thus reveals a surprising relevance, questioning inequality, the condition of women, and the relationship between individual freedom and respect for others. Interview with Gianluca Verlingieri. The meeting is part of the LiberAzione – Freedom is felt, curated by Silvia Allochis, Gianluca Verlingieri and Andrea Vero, promoted by the Association of the Order of the Knights of the Langhe APS, the Insieme ETS Association, ACLI Cuneese APS and Studio Leonardo srl – Leonardo Arte, in collaboration with the Umberto Mastroianni Opera Study Center in Rome, the Mastroianni Foundation of Arpino (Frosinone) and scrittorincittà, and with the support of the CRC Foundation, Banca Cassa di Risparmio di Savigliano and the CRT Foundation.
