There is never a dull moment in Milan, but it’s hard not to fall into the mundane, especially if you’re in the mood for an evening that releases new and unique emotions. Luckily, even this spring, the magical Candlelight concerts will continue to give that magical touch to your Milan evenings with their thousand candles.
Queen and Coldplay for an international touch, Gianna Nannini and De Andrè for an all-Italian evening, up to Puccini or the greatest soundtracks ever for a classic and nostalgic touch. But that’s not all!
These evocative shows, take place in spectacular venues, some more modern like the San Fedele Auditorium, for incredible acoustics that won’t make you miss a single note, some more historic like the Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster House, which with its old-world charm will make the evening even more enchanting. If you are looking for a gift that will amaze, the Candlelight gift card is for you.
