Candles Under the Stars

The 11th edition of Candles Under the Stars was held on August 10, 2025, on the night of San Lorenzo, along the approximately ten kilometers of coast between Pesaro and Gabicce Mare and in the village of Gradara, with over twenty quintals of candles.

In Gradara, which became the Village of Wishes for the occasion, the Piazza d'Armi hosted an arena (opening at 7:45 PM) with the concert "Ladies & Legends" at 8:15 PM – a musical journey through eras and icons with Chiara Magrini, Clara Rossi, and Matilde Mattioli – followed at 9:30 PM by the screening of the film "Follemente" (admission €12, glass of wine offered for those wearing white). From 9:30 PM, the village came alive with music and poetry: "Welcome between verses and notes" at the Clock Tower, "Arias among the stars" on the wall walkways, and listening moments at the MARV, where the exhibition "Luigi Ghirri. Infinite Blue" was on display. Village entrance was free, and access to the walkways was free for those wearing white clothing.
