Luci d'artista
The now popular Salerno's “Luci d'artista” every year renew themselves. The illuminations invade Salerno streets, entirely decorated with lights.
Tradition began in 2006, and now the event is an unmissable appointment of Salerno winter, year by year proposing to be better than last one, in terms of visitors and arrangements beauty.
This exhibition starts in November and ends in January, attracting tourists from all over the world.
The areas of Salerno illuminated by Luci d'Artista
Corso Vittorio Emanuele, in the heart of Salerno, will be set up with giant and stylized chandeliers, known as King's Chandeliers.
Piazza Flavio Gioia, the so-called Rotonda di Salerno, is going to host a large tree creating, with its branches, the illusion of an enchanted forest.
In Piazza Sant'Agostino there will be Vietri ceramics. Approaching the station, however, visitors will find a very bright Christmas ball.
The Ferris Wheel of Salerno
In Salerno there will also be the great Ferris wheel, 55 meters high and equipped with 36 cabins, also usable by people with mobility difficulties. Among other cabins, there will also be a VIP one, offering leather seats, furniture in walnut wood, TV and mini-bar. The ride lasts about 15-20 minutes.
