Nature walks as the sun sets, sunset aperitifs, music and performances under the stars, small astronomy lessons.

On the occasion of the Night of St. Lawrence, Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11, visitors will be able to go Hunting for shooting stars.
At the end of the visit, eyes turned to the sky… hunting for shooting stars, participants will be led in theobservation by astrophile Bartolomeo Davide Bertinetto to discover the celestial vault and the legendary tears of San Lorenzo.
