Happenings in Italy

 

 

Colourful Riomaggiore is in the Liguria Region of north-western Italy. The region features impressive mountains and lovely rolling hills, colored by the green Mediterranean turf and overlooking the Ligurian Sea.  Genoa, a multi-faceted city, combines the ancient with the modern, the past with the present, colours with shadows. Cinque Terre, in addition to Porto Venere and the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto are another UNESCO Sites in Liguria. Those who visit these places will hardly forget the charm and atmosphere here.

The Taormina Film Fest, takes place in Sicily from 10-18 June 2016. This film fest began in 1955 and has hosted over the years many stars of international cinema including: Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, Sophia Loren, Cary Grant, Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, Charlton Heston, Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Tom Cruise, among others. Now in its 62nd edition the Festival, also thanks to its stunning locaton, is an "A" Festival in FIAP accreditation. More details....

Pisa - the historic Battle of the Bridge is held annually on the last Saturday of June. All of the city's neighborhoods are divided into two teams, either the Mezzogiorno or Tramontana, depending on their position. The aim of the game is to conquer the side of the bridge occupied by the enemy through the position of an iron cart arranged on the bridge. If you have never been to this event, it is worth your time to head to Pisa on this special occasion.
