Another rich schedule for this year’s edition of Bolgheri Melody (site only in italian). Last year I told you all about this Festival combining the arts, dance, theatre and music to wine. Once again there are many interesting performances but I am giving you the list of events that I believe go beyond local italian artists and can be enjoyed by everyone.

Location: Arena Mario Incisa della Rocchetta

Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci (LI)

Timing: 9:30 pm all show begin, Arena opens at 7:30 so you can arrive at this time.
