Migliano 9/8/92 Maggio 'Licia la schiava di Roma' by compagnia di Gragnanella-Filicaia-Casatico at registrazione a Migliano (frazione di Fosciandora), 9/8/92.
The Gragnanella-Filicaia-Casatico company, led by Piergiorgio Lenzi, draws its members from a number of small villages on the western bank of the Serchio River above Castelnuovo Garfagnana, including Gragnanella, the main performance venue for the annual series sponsored by the Centro Tradizioni Popolari della Provincia di Lucca. The leader of the company, Piergiorgio Lenzi, acts as prompt and also delivers a speech before most performances. The Maggio text performed on this occasion "Licia la schiava di Roma" (Licia the Roman Slave) was written by company member Giuliano Grandini, and is one of a small number of currently performed Maggio texts with classical rather than chivalrous themes. There are many cuts to this performance due to time constraints.
