Saturday morning the ticket office of Teatro al Parco will exceptionally open so you can buy your tickets for the coming season of Teatro delle Briciole.
It's also time to book tickets for Zona Franca, a festival of theatre taking place in November with about 10 shows for kids.
I warmly recommend Teatro delle Briciole: the shows are of excellent, professional quality and are a great entertainment for adults too!
