MARCELLINA A performance by Humberto Duque, curated by Michela Alessandrini. The official music band of the town of Marcellina in Italy gives its own rendition of "Havalina" by the american rock band Pixies, with lyrics adapted and translated into the Italian. Bridging the gap between the barren hills of Arizona and an idyllic village outside of Rome, Marcellina revolves around immigration, folklore, and memory.
