The lights come on at night and the squares of Ravenna turn into stages for RAVENNA BELLA DI SERA.
In July and August, the squares and the most charming places of the city are ready to welcome you with a rich programme of events: guided tours and special openings of the monuments in the evening, concerts and windows of the shops all lightened up.
Piazza San Francesco and the Old Franciscan Cloisters are livened up by live shows and live music.
