Francesco Gravino, San Severo–born founder and artistic director of Foyer ’97, engaged in conversation with journalist Daniele Giannesi to illuminate the genesis, the vision, and the quiet audacity underpinning this singular project. It is a rare opportunity to discover how, in San Severo, within a former news kiosk graciously donated by Mr Pino Frau, a diminutive space of only a few square metres has been transformed into a workshop of proximity dramaturgy and urban poetics — a pulsating heart capable of resonating across Italy and beyond through its original and profoundly authentic narrative. A result that fills us with pride and reaffirms how culture born from the grassroots — even from the Province of Foggia, in the Alto Tavoliere at the foothills of the Gargano promontory— when genuine, can indeed transform both the places it inhabits and the people who embrace it.
