The open-air theater in the Park of Villa La Versiliana is home this year to the 37th edition of the eponymous Festival, a season that includes two months of performances of great appeal in a balance between drama, dance, music and cabaret, in the skilful combination of tradition and innovation.
In addition to the villa's open-air theater program, there are afternoon meetings at the Caffé (the famous live talk show launched by Romano Battaglia) with personalities from the world of culture, politics, entertainment, science, who repropose the tradition of the typical cultural clubs of Versilia.
The children's space offers a playground-library, entertainment and performances dedicated to the Italian fairy tale, exhibitions organized in the exhibition halls of the Villa, in the former Factory of pine nuts and in the park.
On the jetty of Marina di Pietrasanta are back the readings of classic literautre. After the success of Iliad and Odyssey, director Sergio Manfredi proposes for the 2016 edition the events from Virgilio's Aeneid, narrated through the personal interpretation of six great Italian actors.
