There will be a concert every night (15 to 23 October) at the Church of San Giovanni in Tuba, with truly marvelous acoustics.
The Gothic church was built in the 15th C. on the foundations of a paleochristian basilica (from which come the 5th C. mosaics and structural elements) and on the rests of the pre-existing Roman temple dedicated to Speranza Augusta.
