All you are looking for about your travel to Pisa, the marvellous city of the Leaning Tower
- Historical events:
- The Luminara of San Ranieri
Every year on the night of the 16th of June the enchantment of
the Illuminations of Saint Ranieri is renewed on the streets
running along the river Arno (the so-called Lungarni).
- The Regatta of Saint Ranieri
During the afternoon of June 17th, to celebrate the patron saint
of Pisa, four boats representing the most ancient districts of
the city (the city is divided into four sections ideally outlined
by the river Arno and by the two main streets) compete in a
Regatta along the Arno river, heritage of the past glory of Pisa
as an ancient maritime republic.
- Gioco del Ponte
On the last Sunday in June, teams of the opposite parts of the town
(Tramontana, i.e. northern part, and Mezzogiorno, i.e. southern part)
divided by the Arno river engage themselves in a fight on the Ponte
di Mezzo trying to push the adversary team on its side of the river
by using a special trolley.
- Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics
Since 1956 the cities of Amalfi, Genoa, Venice and Pisa have
participated in the Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics.
The event, introduced for tourist reasons, evokes the past glory
of the most important episodes of the story of the four Maritime Republics.
