EXPERIENCE:

The service will start with the pick up from your accomodation with a luxury private car or minivan guided by our professional english driver which will be at your disposal all evening long.
Once arrived in Salerno it will be possible to walk long the main promenade along the seaside on the way to the historical centre where the lights are concentrated.
Luci d’Artista is a cultural event started by the municipality of Turin in 1998 and subsequently also undertaken by the municipalities of Salerno and Pescara in which during the Christmas period, some squares and streets of the cities are decorated with lights conceived by contemporary artists, who qualify for their high scenographic value or highly symbolic and conceptual values.
The initiative of Fiorenzo Alfieri(Vasco Are, Francesco Casorati, Enrico De Paris, Richi Ferrero, Carmelo Giammello, Emanuele Luzzati, Luigi Mainolfi, Mario Molinari, Luigi Nervo, Giulio Paolini, Luigi Stoisa, Francesco Tabusso) and two young artists, Domenico Luca Pannoli and Enrica Borghi – selected through a national ideas competition.
The same initiative was also adopted in the city of Salerno in 2006 and, ten years later, in the city of Pescara. An ideal twinning between the three cities, Turin, Salerno and Pescara, has produced a mutual exchange. During the period of the event (November-January) part of the lights adopted the previous year by the Piedmontese capital were exhibited in Salerno and Pescara, as well as other specially commissioned new works. In the following years, however, the city of Turin adopted various works from the Campania and Abruzzo municipalities, thus starting a real “twinning” with the exchange of the works of the three participating cities. In 2009, the 25 meter Christmas tree located in Piazza Portanova was the tallest artificial one in Italy.
In 2011 the Salerno event saw the participation of the artist Nello Ferrigno. Of particular success in the Salerno edition is the theme of the enchanted garden, which envelops the historic city center in varied and ever-changing lights, making the Villa Comunale of Salerno an authentic garden fairy-tale with wizards, sorcerers, luminous tunnels and enchanted figures.
At the end of this great trip your private driver will be ready to accompanied you back home.
