Notte di Luce is a journey through the magic of sound. A great television event that saw the sequence of words of philosophers, writers, historians, but above all great traditional and contemporary music, in the extraordinary monumental scenography of the Piazza del Comune, in Cremona.

Notte di Luce was strongly sought after as a symbol of the rebirth in light from the darkness caused by SarsCovid2, and from the long period of suffering lived with dignity and composure by the city of Cremona, one of the cities most affected by the epidemic. At the same time, a sign of hope, of a real restart for the city, for the territory and for the country at large.

The program was realised thanks to the unanimous commitment of many both public and private entities from the city of Cremona and beyond-led by the Municipality of Cremona, Bosch and LGH – A2A Group

Produced entirely in Cremona, the TV format was broadcast on August 29, 2020 by Rai 1.
