The 2013 edition of the “Giugno Pisano” – traditionally the ‘magical’ month for Pisa – will be even more attractive on account of the number and quality of the events scheduled. This is a month bubbling with life and an excellent time to discover and experience everything that centers around the holiday dedicated to the Patron Saint San Ranieri (June 17th).
The atmosphere is infused with magic that fills the air at dusk on June 16th, when the enchantment of the “Luminara di San Ranieri” is renewed on the Lungarni. This tradition is celebrated by the Pisans on the eve of the festival of the patron saint. For each edition, over a hundred thousand lamps are carefully placed in smooth, transparent glasses and hung on white wooden frames arranged to exalt the outlines of the buildings, bridges, churches and towers that overlook the Lungarni.
A spectacular and unique addition to this is the Leaning Tower, which is illuminated by oil pans that are also positioned on the battlements of the stretch of city wall that encloses the Piazza dei Miracoli. After they have been lit, visitors are offered an incomparable experience of the Pisan night, enhanced by the myriad of floating lamps that are lit and released onto the waters of the Arno, where their quivering light reflects off the water.
