More than 300 events are on the calendar, including aperitifs and picnics at sunset, concerts and shows under the stars, short astronomy lectures, cultural meetings at sunset, treks and guided walks at dusk to discover the richly beautiful territories surrounding the Italian Environmental Fund properties.
Nature walks as the sun sets, sunset aperitifs, music and performances under the stars, small astronomy lessons.
Hunting for shooting stars

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.
The meteoric swarm that the Earth goes through during the summer period as it travels its orbit around the sun.
