The Picana: Deputy Prime , Villefranche-sur-Mer proposes an exhibition "Russian dance Coast 'Azur' from 2 April. Is this opportunism tourist or historical?
Jean-Pierre Mangiapan: A bit of both. The Russians are likely to come into the harbor, and some ignore the important role of their fellow citizens in the development of our community. Hence "Russian Year" As we celebrate this year.
The Picana: Russian This implementation goes back to when?
Jean-Pierre Mangiapan: In 1742, when Jean-Michel Auda, Nice and advisor to trade in Russia, became friends with Alexis Orlov. In 1770 the Imperial fleet made a stop in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Thirty years later, Alexandre Michaud became aide de camp to Czar Paul 1, then general of Alexander 1st. The Duke of Savoy will give him a right of permanent stop. All buildings of the galleys and the forge were named then "The Russian House". It is even the widow of Nicolas 1, the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, who will finance the road from Nice to Villefranche by the seaside
The Picana: Hence his bust?
Jean-Pierre Mangiapan: The municipality has constructed, and the Naval Academy in St. Petersburg has offered three in the city, those two brothers Orlov and that of Admiral Ushakov . As you can see it over 260 years of links that we celebrate this year.
The Picana: Why this spectacular Alain Hanel exhibition on dance?
Mangiapan Jean-Pierre: The Bolshoi do not dream it be? The elegance of gesture, the splendor of the costumes, that's what the photographer has captured Alain Hanel. This is the man of plates: both those studios television than operas. He lived for ten years on the Cote d'Azur with a very particular specificity: prints giants. You will see paintings from 10 to 40 m2 on the curtain walls of the citadel. Terribly impressive and elegant.
Year With Russia, we'll make you dream!
