Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy – Lusérn

The Romantic Night in Luserna

The Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy is a national event that lights up over two hundred historic small towns across the peninsula during the weekend closest to the summer solstice. Luserna/Lusérn, in the province of Trento, also participates in this celebration of love and village beauty as an officially recognized member of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy association.

Nestled on the Alpe Cimbra at an altitude of over 1,300 meters, Luserna is the smallest Cimbrian community in Italy. Here, the Cimbrian language—an ancient Germanic tongue—is still spoken, and the village preserves an authentic, cozy atmosphere that makes it the perfect backdrop for the most romantic night of the year. For one evening, the streets and small squares of the village are adorned with candles, music, and local specialties.

A Ritual Shared Across Italy

The Romantic Night symbolically unites all participating villages around a common moment: the midnight toast, where couples and visitors from north to south celebrate this night dedicated to romance together. Each village then interprets the event in its own way, highlighting its unique traditions, flavors, and most picturesque corners.

The Experience in Lusérn

In Luserna, the evening is designed as a sensory journey blending nature, music, and taste. It begins with the Lovers' Trekking, a walk discovering the most evocative spots of the village, concluding with a tasting of Trentino wines and local cheeses. As evening falls, music takes center stage: the notes of the violin in Piazza Battisti open the night, followed by a candlelight concert in Piazzetta Marconi, where live music intertwines with the flickering glow of candles. Local restaurants offer special Romantic Night menus for the occasion.

Why Visit

The Romantic Night in Luserna is the perfect opportunity to discover a village off the beaten path, breathe the fresh air of the Trentino plateau, and enjoy an intimate evening away from the crowds. It is a free, widespread event that combines the magic of the Alpe Cimbra mountains with the charm of a tradition shared by all of Italy's small villages.
