The Notte Rosa is the big summer event: for one evening, from sunset to dawn, the Adriatic coast in Emilia Romagna turns into an explosion of lights sounds, images and colours, with concerts, theatre performances, installations, exhibitions and magical settings.
This year the night of Notte Rosa will last an entire week, becoming the PINK WEEK rich of events.
From 3 to 9 August RAVENNA and its BEACHES will organize a festival of events that involve the city and the entire coast: seven days of immersion in nature, respecting the environment in all safety and with a great love for culture, in particular for Dante Alighieri, who has been inspiring this land for 700 years.
In collaboration with FAI Ravenna and the Biodiversity Department of Carabinieri of Punta Marina Terme, the readers of Dante in Rete and Atlantide, you will visit the reborn Pine Forest Ramazzotti. Reopened in 2019 after an arson that hit it seven years before, this portion of green north to the Bevano river will give you a unique experience of nature and poetry.
The reading of the 5th canto of Inferno by Dante, a homage to the Supreme Poet, will take place “upon that shore to which the Po descends”, citing the land of birth of Francesca Da Polenta, thanks to the volunteer readers of the project Dante in Rete, which has been promoting Dante and his Comedy. In this project, there is also a further challenge: to make the Pine Forest Ramazzotti part of the FAI’s ‘Luoghi del Cuore’.
It’s for this reason that the FAI’s volunteers will support a vote-raising on site and on the website http://iluoghidelcuore.it/ for the Pine Forest Ramazzotti, which is growing, and is an example of the resilience of great naturalist importance because it overlooks the dunes and is part of the Bevano river mouth. Moreover, it’s important to keep the attention alive for its symbolical meaning.
BUT THE EVENTS DON’T STOP HERE…
The project of the Pink Week is connected with the successful events of Ravenna Bella di Sera and its Guided Tours in Music, scheduled until the end of August, and the itineraries of Mosaico di Notte.
The contact between nature and art, this time in music, further strengthens with other two events of Spiagge Soul, organized by Spiagge Soul and Associazione Blues Eye.
Finally, don’t forget the events in nature organized by Atlantide with many exciting itineraries and tours departing from the NatuRa Museum in Sant’Alberto and the Visitor Centre Cubo Magico Bevanella in Lido di Savio. Among these not to be missed is the free concert of “Le voci del Delta”, with the Bevano Est, with a walk and a breakfast included, scheduled on Saturday, 8 August.
