Furthermore, in the evening the bar will also open and on Wednesdays it will offer music from the 60s and 70s to recreate the atmosphere of the period in which the exhibition is set.

Furthermore, we are receiving numerous requests from associations that want to participate in sports Tuesdays», commented the councilor for major events Leone Zilio.
«Wednesday is dedicated to music in the local – the councilor for economic development and territory Cristina Balbi spoke -. The initiative is carried out in collaboration with Confcommercio which deals with the involvement of traders.

«On Thursday ExVuoto Teatro will begin offering activities for families and children in Piazza dei Signori. Furthermore, several street artists are contacting us asking for perform, as per our proposal on Thursday. “èPrimavera” aims to make citizens aware of the opportunities that already exist in the city and to facilitate the carrying out of activities in the center as much as possible.
