Night of the Muses

The 2025 Night of the Muses featured the common thread "Novellas for a Night... and a Day," a tribute to the novella genre and its founding father, Giovanni Boccaccio, on the 650th anniversary of his passing. Pinerolo's museums—including the Civic Art Gallery, the Villa Prever Educational Museum, the Diocesan Museum, the Mutual Aid Museum, the Cavalry Museum, the Alliaudi Library, and the new Territory Interpretation Center—built exhibitions and events around selected narratives.

On Saturday, May 10, and Sunday, May 11, in the heart of Pinerolo, live readings by students from the M. Curie Scientific High School and the LaAV Association accompanied visitors. On Sunday the 11th, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, a theatrical itinerary through the streets of medieval Pinerolo, featuring actors from the Mellon association, brought authors and the atmosphere of the novella genre to life.
