About Romantic Night Corinaldo

Every year, on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, the villages in the 'Most Beautiful Villages of Italy' circuit transform into open-air stages for the Romantic Night. In Corinaldo, a walled jewel in the Province of Ancona and an Orange Flag town by the Touring Club, the event on June 20, 2026, offers an evening dedicated to love: free guided night tours through the historic center's alleys, music, shows, and romantic menus at the village restaurants. A perfect opportunity to discover the most authentic Marche region under the moonlight.

The Romantic Night in Corinaldo

The Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy is the major national event that, every year at the end of June near the summer solstice, enlivens over two hundred villages in the circuit promoted by the Association The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy. For one evening, the historic centers become open-air stages, where soft music, street artists, dinners under the stars, and fairytale atmospheres celebrate love and the beginning of summer. In Corinaldo, a splendid walled village in the Province of Ancona, in the Marche region, the 2026 edition is scheduled for Saturday, June 20.

A Village That Becomes a Stage

Corinaldo is one of the most evocative villages in the Marche: awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club and enclosed by one of the best-preserved walls in the region, it offers the ideal setting for a night of romance. The heart of the evening is the free guided night walk through the most fascinating places in the historic center, accompanied by stories and traditions of the town.

The itinerary touches some of the village's symbols, including the Lovers' Garden with the famous Bench of the Kiss, the scenic Piaggia, the Porta Santa Maria del Mercato, the Porta San Giovanni, and the charming views of Via del Corso, Largo XVII Settembre, and Largo X Agosto.

Music, Shows, and Flavors

As is tradition for the event, the Corinaldo evening combines the walk with entertainment: musical performances, shows, and themed installations set up in the village squares. The restaurants in the historic center participate in the initiative by offering special romantic menus, often accompanied by a dessert dedicated to love, to make dinner an integral part of the celebration.
