Old traditions, customs and lifestyles are still greatly respected and there is a deep attachment to the land which is reflected in a healthy interest in the food and produce, as well as a perseverance of seasonal religious and secular events. We would like to invite you to enjoy events during the time of your stay in Florence for the wedding or the honeymoon.
Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
The oldest and most famous musical festival in Italy, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, was founded in 1933. During the festival, Florence plays host to operas, internationally known orchestras and ballet productions, with a line-up few other festivals can rival.
The festival is held between April and June.
Calcio Storico (Costumed Football)
Teams of 27 young men face each other in this 15th century style, no-holds-barred game of fighting and football in the Piazza Santa Croce.
Festival of Saint John
On the 24th of June every year, the whole town of Florence dresses up, parades and celebrates, in all possible ways, its historical connection to Saint John. The fireworks are spectacular.
Florence Marathon
As one of the top 20 international marathons, Florence stages men's and women's events as well as a non-competitive 10km fun-run and a special mini-run for kids.
