The Italian Air Force and the Frecce Tricolori over the sea of Varazze
The Frecce Tricolori Air Show in Varazze is one of the most anticipated events of spring on the Ligurian Riviera. For three days, the town in the Savona province hosts the Italian Air Force with a program culminating in the performance of the National Aerobatic Team, the famous Frecce Tricolori, capable of drawing the geometries and the tricolor smoke in the sky that have made Italian aviation famous worldwide.
The event is not just an air show; it's also about education and popular celebration. The program includes conferences dedicated to the role of the Air Force in service to the country, high-level sports exhibitions, and an Airshow Village with stands, a flight simulator, and 3D viewers, designed to engage enthusiasts, the curious, and children.
The focal point is the Varazze promenade, with Piazzale De Gasperi serving as the village's headquarters. The aerial evolutions are visible along the entire coast, from the beaches to the walkways, making the entire town a large natural amphitheater overlooking the sea.
Varazze, in the province of Savona, is one of the most popular seaside destinations in Liguria, located at the foot of the Beigua massif. An event like the Air Show, with free admission, confirms the town's tourist appeal and attracts thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond.
