Finally, this year too, given the great public success, the traditional opening of the Museum is confirmed Mid-August: in addition to the usual daily opening hours, the Palazzo dei Pio Museums will also be open in the evening until midnight.
For the Councilor for Schools and Culture Giuliano Albarani “Notti d’arte embodies the idea of a summer Carpi that becomes even more welcoming and full of opportunities. The services and cultural events are enhanced to allow a different, suggestive use of our artistic and architectural heritage, and they open up, in addition to new visions, to new users, who can take advantage of the moments of July and August to discover, or rediscover, the city with the somewhat touristy taste of the enchanted visitor”.
