White Night in Nature

A candlelight night in the heart of the Monregalese area

The White Night in Nature is a truly unique appointment in the landscape of Cuneo's events: an evening where the historic center of Morozzo, a small town in the Province of Cuneo overlooking the Crava-Morozzo Nature Oasis, lets itself be enveloped by darkness to rediscover the beauty of the night. Public lighting is switched off in the area between the Church and the Brichetto Sanctuary, and the entire route, starting from the Castle entrance, is illuminated only by candles.

A respectful festival, between fun and awareness

More than just an event, the White Night in Nature was born as a respectful festival: an occasion that combines entertainment and educational content, emotion and awareness. The common thread is reflection on the relationship between man and the environment, with special attention to the themes of light pollution, biodiversity protection, and sustainability. Along the town's streets, there are exhibitions dedicated to nature and science, street artist performances, shadow theater, readings, educational workshops, and games designed for children.

Music, stars, and nocturnal birds of prey

The soundtrack of the evening is entrusted to live music with acoustic instruments, from the harp to the piano and strings, with the participation of students from the "Luigi Vizio" Intermunicipal School of Music in Morozzo. One of the most anticipated moments is the release of nocturnal birds of prey cared for by the LIPU Recovery Center in Asti, accompanied by explanations about nocturnal animals. There is also no shortage of astronomical observations, made possible thanks to the collaboration with observatories and scientific projects that turn Morozzo's dark sky into an open-air classroom.

An event promoted by the territory

The event is promoted by LIPU in collaboration with the Municipality of Morozzo, the Pro Loco, the Opera Pia Peyrone Foundation, and numerous local associations, with the contribution of the Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo Foundation. The refreshment area managed by the Pro Loco completes the evening with a convivial outdoor offering, perfect for experiencing the night in company, amidst the flickering lights of candles and the starry sky of southern Piedmont.
