About Romantic Night in Ingria

The Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy arrives in Ingria, a tiny village in the Soana Valley within the Metropolitan City of Turin. On the evening closest to the summer solstice, the village streets and square are illuminated by candles and lanterns for an evening dedicated to love, memories, and the bonds that unite us. With music, a collective flash mob under the starry sky, and a romantic stroll through the alleys, Ingria celebrates the charm of small mountain towns during one of the most evocative nights of the year.

A night of love in the mountains of the Soana Valley

The Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy is a national event promoted by the I Borghi più Belli d'Italia association, which lights up over two hundred historic villages across the peninsula with candles, lights, and music on the evening closest to the summer solstice. Ingria, a small jewel in the Soana Valley near Turin, also participates with an evening designed to celebrate love, memories, and the bonds that unite mountain communities.

Ingria, a tiny village among the most beautiful in Italy

With just over forty inhabitants, Ingria is one of the least populated municipalities in Italy: a village nestled at an altitude of about 800 meters, consisting of numerous hamlets set among chestnut woods, oak forests, and streams, featuring characteristic houses with lòse roofs, the typical stone slabs of the region. Having joined the Borghi più Belli d'Italia circuit at the end of 2021, it is the ideal setting for those seeking silence, nature, and authenticity just a few kilometers from Turin, in the most genuine part of Piedmont.

The spirit of the evening

The Romantic Night in Ingria is not a grand, spectacular event, but a simple and spontaneous community moment. The invitation is to pause, look into each other's eyes, and dream under the stars, letting yourself be enveloped by the intimate atmosphere of the illuminated village. The organizers' message perfectly captures the spirit of the evening: "Bring your heart, Ingria will take care of the rest."

What to expect

  • A collective flash mob featuring the famous kiss under the starry sky, the symbolic gesture of all Italian Romantic Nights.
  • A romantic stroll through the alleys lit by candles and lanterns.
  • Moments of music and sharing thoughts and emotions with the community.
  • The unique atmosphere of a mountain village that, for one night, becomes a great human constellation.

A free event open to everyone, perfect for couples, families, and travelers who want to discover the poetry of the small towns in the Province of Turin and Piedmont.
