Massimiliano Greco, the lead pianist and the head of the Académie Princesse Grace’s Music Department, will be performing Lettera a Giulia at a special evening of music, dance and literature in the Cala del Forte port in Ventimiglia later this month.

The internationally renowned pianist and composer, Massimiliano Greco, will be making the short trip to the Port Hercule’s sister port, Cala del Forte, for a very special performance on Sunday 15th September. 

He is set to present his new Lettera a Giulia composition, a moving tribute to Giulia Cecchettin, a young Italian student who was murdered in 2023 by her ex-partner. His performance will be accompanied by a choreography presented by dancers from the Centro Studio Danza of Ventimiglia. Italian singer-songwriter Marco Carena is also expected to make an appearance. 

Ahead of Greco’s performance, Luca Galtieri, the Italian TV producer and a correspondent for Striscia la Notizia, will be introducing his latest book. He will be signing copies following Greco’s concert.  

The event will begin at 8.30pm, with an after-party scheduled for 10.30pm onwards.

Entry is free. For more information, call +39 340 811 0195 or email apsproponente@gmail.com.

Over the next few months, the Jeune Chambre Économique de Monaco will be hosting two business-minded events to help young people in the Principality with innovative ideas and an entrepreneurial spirit succeed and thrive. 

The JCI Monaco, or the Jeune Chambre Économique de Monaco, is a group of young business leaders dedicated to enhancing Monaco’s economic appeal while supporting and inspiring fellow entrepreneurs to transform their concepts into reality. The JCI Monaco also plays an active role in its business community, and holds positions on the Monaco Economic Board (MEB), the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) and the Strategic Council for Attractiveness (CSA). 

Concours de Création d’Entreprise

The first upcoming event is the Concours de Création d’Entreprise (CCE), an annual competition that is now in its 29th year. The prize for the most promising new Monaco-based business is a €40,000 grant, the Prix du Gouvernement Princier, with a number of other runner-up prizes also up for grabs.   

Candidates must be between 18 and 40, own at least a third of the company and meet legal criteria to operate in Monaco. Previous winners include SOCA, HY-Plug, EatIn and the Carlo app.
