About Brisighella Romantic

For one summer night, the medieval village of Brisighella, in the heart of Romagna, transforms into a romantic stage lit by thousands of candles. Outdoor dinners with special menus, acoustic concerts, street artists, and themed decorations animate the famous Via degli Asini and the most evocative corners of the historic center. Brisighella Romantica is the local stop of the Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy, the national event that every year, around the summer solstice, celebrates love in small Italian villages.

A night of love in the village of the three hills

Brisighella Romantica is the local version of the Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy, the national event promoted by the association I Borghi piรน Belli d'Italia (The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy) which every year, around the summer solstice, lights up dozens of small historic centers with events dedicated to lovers. In Brisighella, a medieval jewel in the Province of Ravenna, in Emilia-Romagna, the evening transforms into a true white night dedicated to romance.

The setting: Via degli Asini and the three hills

The charm of the event stems from the unique setting of the village. Brisighella is famous for its three rocky pinnacles that dominate the town, crowned by the Rocca Manfrediana, the Clock Tower, and the Sanctuary of Monticino. The heart of the festival beats along the Via degli Asini, the ancient elevated covered street that runs hidden within the houses of the center: a place suspended in time which, lit by candles, becomes one of the most evocative settings in Italy for an evening for two.

What happens during the evening

The historic center changes its appearance to offer visitors an experience made of art, music, and magic. Among the alleys and small squares, you will find:

  • Candlelit dinners: the restaurants in the center set up outdoor tables with menus designed specifically for the occasion;
  • Acoustic concerts and unplugged music accompanying the evening stroll;
  • Street artists and performances along the route;
  • Themed decorations and arrangements adorning streets and corners of the village;
  • Themed gastronomic proposals and tastings, including aperitifs and local specialties.

The intimate and cozy atmosphere invites couples to get lost in the most hidden corners of the historic center, while shows and concerts liven up the night until late, with entertainment moments in the setting of the Spada park amphitheater.

A village to discover even during the day

Brisighella is not just its romantic night: the village, certified among the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy and awarded the Orange Flag by the Touring Club, thrives on traditions linked to the gypsum of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola, its DOP extra virgin olive oil, and the typical products of Romagna. The romantic evening is the perfect opportunity to discover a municipality in the hinterland of Ravenna often far from mass tourism.
