Notte Bianca di Corteolona e Genzone

The evening the town stays awake

The Notte Bianca is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Corteolona e Genzone, a municipality in the province of Pavia. As is tradition for Italian 'white nights', for one evening the town centre comes alive until late at night, with a programme of widespread entertainment involving squares, streets, and commercial activities.

A celebration for the whole community

The evening is designed as a gathering moment for the entire community: families, young people, and visitors from neighbouring towns meet in the streets to enjoy music, entertainment, and conviviality. Businesses participate with evening openings and initiatives, helping to bring the town centre to life in an informal and popular festive atmosphere.

The start of summer

Held in early June, the Notte Bianca symbolically marks the beginning of the warm season in Corteolona e Genzone. It is one of those village festivals that strengthen the sense of community and enhance public spaces as meeting places, continuing the municipality's vibrant event programming in the Oltrepò Pavese area.

Under the patronage of the Municipality

The event takes place under the patronage of the Municipality of Corteolona e Genzone, in the province of Pavia, which includes it in the summer events calendar along with other significant local events, such as the LineOut Art Festival. The Notte Bianca is one of the most attended moments of this programme, capable of livening up the town and attracting audiences from the surrounding Oltrepò and Pavia plains, on an evening that combines the desire to be together with the discovery of local activities and flavours.
