About The Night of the Labyrinth

The Night of the Labyrinth is the summer event that transforms the historic center of Calvi dell'Umbria, in the province of Terni, into a labyrinth of art under the stars every August. A red thread starts from Piazza Mazzini and guides visitors along alleys, small squares, terraces, and panoramic views, where street artists, musicians, actors, and performers perform until late at night. Between juggling, music, dance, painting, sculpture, theater, exhibitions, and refreshment stands, it is one of the most evocative evenings of the Umbrian summer.

A labyrinth of art under the stars

The Night of the Labyrinth is one of the most beloved events of the summer in Calvi dell'Umbria, a village in the province of Terni with a characteristic urban structure that resembles a labyrinth. For one night, the historic center becomes a natural stage: arts, music, and dances await visitors among the illuminated alleys, small squares, and terraces.

The red thread

The route is marked by a red thread (or ribbon) that, starting from Piazza Mazzini, serves as a common thread throughout the itinerary. Following it, you will encounter jugglers, musicians, dancers, actors, and performers, photography and painting exhibitions, sculpture displays, craft markets, and refreshment stands with local specialties.

A community celebration

Organized by the Pro Loco of Calvi dell'Umbria, which also handles the artistic direction, with the patronage of the Municipality, the Night of the Labyrinth has free admission and attracts thousands of people. The event is part of the village's summer programming, in dialogue with the Calvi Festival, and enhances the identity and beauty of this corner of southern Umbria.
