In early July, the towns of Peschici and Ostiglia were announced as hosts of local Notte Bianca (White Night) summer festivals, joining a broader series of open‑air cultural events held across Italy. By early August, the programme expanded to include Bolzano and Manfredonia, where authorities detailed extensive line‑ups of live music, DJ sets, performances, and night‑time markets. Both municipalities framed the festivals as part of initiatives to stimulate nighttime commerce, showcase regional culture and attract visitors, indicating a coordinated effort to promote the “Economy of the Night” across multiple Italian cities.
