Social event
On 5 November the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance hosted a musical performance celebrating Giacomo Puccini and other Italian well-known composers at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone.
In 2024, as Italy and the world commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Giacomo Puccini's passing, participants of the 7th OECD World Forum on Well-being were able to enjoy an exclusive concert that celebrates Italian musical heritage. The programme featured a unique blend of classical elements reimagining Puccini's famous arias, as well as works by other Italian composers spanning from classical to contemporary repertoires. The event paid homage to Maestro Ennio Morricone, to whom the venue is dedicated.
The event was hosted by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance and is organised under the Italian Presidency of the G7. It is an all-female artistic performance aimed at celebrating the beauty of song and the power of music while also highlighting the various nuances of femininity, including the charm and elegance of Made in Italy.

Musical performance
The opening performance featured Cinzia Tedesco, an Italian artist and vocalist and her band, presenting jazz interpretations of Giacomo Puccini's most famous opera pieces. Through her careful research and deep respect for Puccini's work, the artist has courageously reimagined these classic compositions, blending jazz and classical elements to create a unique and innovative musical experience. She devised "Mister Puccini in Jazz" and performed it at the Sala Sinopoli in May this year. Her project, an international tour starting at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, earned her the Italian Excellence Award.
