Rome set to come alive on White Night.



Rome is set to come alive on the night of September 9th, as La Notte Bianca (the White Night) sees visual arts, dance, music and a host of other events take place around the city.

Major venues including the Borghese Gallery and the Villa Medici play host to more than 100 events all over the Eternal City and free public transport services ferry locals and visitors alike from place to place.

The free event is organised by the municipality of Rome, along with other official bodies, and aims to be an inclusive event aimed at solidarity and multiculturalism.

It "involves all the city's inhabitants" and is "an opportunity for discovering this city and its treasures but also for an encounter with culture in its most varied expressions".

More than 1,000 artists will take part in the event this year, which begins at 9pm in the Piazza del Campidoglio with a scene from Romeo and Juliet performed by Roberto Bolle and Alessandra Ferri.

Besides the White Night, Italy's capital offers much for history lovers, including the Colosseum and the Spanish Steps.
