PRESENTATION “…about a long life and love … ” The third edition of the European Narrative, Science and Music Competition, unique in its genre, intends to bring together and to involve all the inhabitants of an Europe composed of 27 nations, asking them to describe what they mean by “…about a long life and love…”. This way we would like to open up a more intense dialogue between many countries in the man’s history, in order to better understand what one normally means when saying “a long life” and “love”. We take the chance to also present the cultural vitality and the natural beauty of a territory – Tuscany and especially Montecatini Terme – which has always been interested in culture, also in its connotation of “deepening and spreading out knowledge”. There are three manners of expression: a narrative approach, with a jury whose President is…, a scientific approach, with a jury whose President is Prof. Donatella Marazziti, Director of the Laboratory if Neuropsychiatry of the University of Pisa, and a musical approach, with a jury whose President is Maestro Andrea Lucchesini, Artistic Director of the Music School in Fiesole.
