la luna è azzurra

"The Moon is Blue" is an international festival of puppetry, which since 1983 has inaugurated the July hot summer nights of San Miniato with shows in the streets and the most picturesque corners of this medieval town. Marionettes, puppets, "blockheads" and shadows come to life occupying the most charming places of the city of San Miniato as Piazza del Duomo, the Seminary and the Garden of Cisterna. A festival that fascinates adults and children and brings them together around the magic and fantasy of the shows. Other bizarre figures move around the streets. Every year the festival hosts thirty companies and welcomes about twelve thousand spectators.
