30 years ago in Marina di Pietrasanta - small town in Versilia - the Versiliana Festival was started. This is a festival taking place in summertime and it inherits its name by "La Versiliana" park, a park of about a million square meters with a wonderful villa inside where Gabriele D'Annunzio lived in the past. This special cultural festival is performed just in the surroundings of the villa, and it has gained international acknowledgement.
The festival has a rich program of cultural events (music, dance, cabaret, cinema and poetry) that attract lots of Italian and foreign tourists and local people. The Versiliana Festival is the perfect place where art and nature mix together creating a very suggestive atmosphere, and it is the ideal place for spending your summer nights in Versilia.
