4 Best Performing Arts in Florence, Italy
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Florence right now.
Florence has a lively classical music scene. The internationally famous annual Maggio Musicale lights up the musical calendar in early spring, and continues throughout most of the rest of the year. Fans of rock, pop, and hip-hop might be somewhat surprised by the absence of live acts that make it to town (for such offerings, traveling to Rome or Milan is often a necessity). What it lacks in contemporary music, however, it makes up for with its many theatrical offerings.
Festival dei Popoli
Santa Croce
This weeklong documentary film festival happens in November or December with screenings at various venues around town.
La Nazione
The daily Florentine newspaper La Nazione has movie listings. Note that most American films are dubbed into Italian rather than subtitled.
