September's Grand Finale for "THE CITY AS A STAGE" with the TICINO FESTIVAL taking place in Pavia from the 7th to the 10th of September 2023: fireworks, White Night and an evening dedicated to Albert One.
TICINO FESTIVAL 2023
September, the month of the traditional Pavia festival which acts as a watershed between summer and autumn recovery. In the first half of the month, the city has always been teeming with cultural, show and various entertainment initiatives for a celebration that has the city's symbol par excellence at its centre: Ticino.
The Administration thus wanted to develop the program of La Città come Palcoscenico – calendar of entertainment initiatives for the summer, created thanks to the contribution of the Banca del Monte di Lombardia Foundation, which started on the 28th of June and will end on the 7th of September 2023 – with a third part, truly pyrotechnic, entitled Grand Finale of September.
It is a succession of initiatives which - involving several subjects from the area - dialogue closely with the spirit of the Ticino Festival, i.e. proposing events united by a specific factor: pavesità, that deep bond that the inhabitants of Pavia have for their city, made of loving attention to the stories and protagonists of local life, yesterday and today. Specific that is found, variously declined, in the program sponsored and supported by the Municipality of Pavia:
