It will therefore be Cattoni, territorial coordinator of Canal Sur Radio and collaborator of Pasión de Seville, in addition to being brother of Silencio and Rocío de Triana, who will speak at the Salesian school a few meters from Esperanza Trinitaria to tell what this concept, so intrinsic to Holy Week in Seville in particular, like that of hope, means for this journalist from the municipality of Jaén de La Carolina, like that of hope in a extremely special year. after the recent restoration of the Macarena and the accomplished mission of Esperanza de Triana in the Polígono Sur.

For Cattoni, it will be vital stop at each of these steps of his text from the pulpit of the Trinity, “and the different invocations of Hope will come” to help him, he establishes. The event will also benefit from the musical accompaniment of the Philharmonic Society Nuestra Señora de la Oliva de Salteras.
The aforementioned Andalusian journalist will reflect in his speech on all the aspects that he considers fundamental for an understood hope. “like a universal aspiration” in front of a large representation of the world of brotherhoods, in particular the six corporations which take turns one by one each year with the proclamation of the Esperanza, one of the most remarkable commissions of purple literature: the Trinidad, the Esperanza de Triana, the Lanzada, San Roque, the O and the Macarena.
Inspired by “The Ages of Man”
Cattoni in turn says that to create this new literary work he had to previously leaving the territory of despair to get to the other side of the coin, from a much more optimistic approach. “A month ago, I was in “The Age of Man” and this visit partly inspired me. The concept of my proclamation will go there and it was very good for me to go there”, he added, Cattoni being a lover of heritage and architecture. “The Ages of Man” are exhibitions of sacred art that change locations every year in Castile and León, and which have Zamora as the main location for the current 2025-2026 edition, which has been focused on Hope in the Cathedral, honoring also the figures of San Cipriano and San Isidoro.
