Festivals Part 1

The first topic I want to deal with are the events.

England have a long and rich tradition of festivals, but also in Italy, there are opportunities to attend festivals with a capital F.

In the coming posts I will propose a very careful selection of the best Italian events.

Let us start with the most imminent:

5+1 THING TO DO, AFTER OR BEFORE THE FESTIVAL.

The festival is not the only thing you can do ....

1-  Get lost in the hills ...

2-  SAN MARINO, a small independent state with a beautiful castle, definitely worth visiting.

3-  RIMINI: The one that for years has been considered one of the world capitals of fun, You can still get fun don't worry. :)

4-  CESENA: Cesena is a small town, with a beautiful old town, I recommend you visit the biblioteca Malatesta and the theatre "Teatro Verdi".

5-  Eat the "Piadina Romagnola". Italian flatbread, It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water. And drink "Sangiovese" red wine from local farms.

6- If you come from north, to go at Pennabilli you have to cross Santarcangelo Di Romagna. Stop there and go to visit the MUTOID WASTE COMPANY, London performance arts group relocated in Italy.

Tips and Tricks:I recommend you that get to Pennabilli by car or with your transports or you can try Bla Bla Car, the bike is for true lovers...

The public transport unfortunately don't give you a big help but to visit Cesena, Rimini and San Marino, with a patience then you can entrust to public transportation.
