Statement by VALERIA VALENTE
Councillor for Big Events and Tourism for the district of Naples

A Night to share

More than seventy squares, one thousand artists and one theme: the Mediterranean, a “sea” of Culture. That is the “business card” for the second White Night edition, an event to live, not to tell. Again, Naples becomes a huge canvas on which is possible to leave a sign, everyone, artists and spectators , in a common game and a shared experience of friendship , amusement and culture among folks. Next 30th of September all the lights will be on and anyone will be able to attend a kaleidoscopic “kermesse” also appealing for a demanding audience, an event which has needed a very complex organization .
This occasion will give the opportunity to the “Mare Nostrum” folks to meet and identify, to share once a year an only place where there are no differences and from where to look to the future with joy and confidence. Naples as a capital for the Mediterranean where cultures, even if different, will be able to combine for a big popular party rediscovering our common roots.
