Three days of art and theatre in the Lunetta district of Mantua
Floralia is the spring festival that brings life and culture back to the Lunetta district, on the outskirts of Mantua. It is curated by Collettivo LAN-DE-Sì, an artistic group founded in 2021 and largely composed of under-35s, who use this event as an opportunity for urban regeneration through art and participation.
The programme unfolds over three days in Piazza Unione Europea and features theatrical performances, circus acts, urban dance, and workshops. Among the events are the circus show "Pocket Circus – The suitcase circus", the theatrical performance "In Giufà's Shoes", clay workshops for children, and the fairy tale "Puss in Boots". A programme designed to engage an audience from 3 to 99 years old.
All activities are free to enter: workshops require mandatory booking, while for other events booking is recommended. Floralia focuses on creativity and participation, transforming a neighbourhood square into a shared stage. In case of rain, events will move to the Centro Sociale Artoni.
Often told only for its Renaissance monuments, Mantua (Province of Mantua) also lives in its districts. Floralia brings art and culture to a peripheral area like Lunetta, demonstrating how a festival can become a tool for social cohesion and territorial enhancement.
