Day of celebration for Florence on April 30th with La Notte Bianca 2011: a special evening, all devoted to contemporary art which will focus especially in the city center. Twelve hours of performance (from 18 to 6 am) and three major events with facilities that will remain in the city throughout the month of May. Piazza Annigoni will become a huge green space with trees, plants and chairs instead of cement, Carraia Bridge in a forest and installations in the form of “shell” camping in Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
Other events in Piazza del Cestello, for an evening that will be returned to the people without the usual parking lot. But there will be surprises in other areas of the city special events at the Pergola Theatre, Palazzo Strozzi, Odeon cinema, street artists in Santa Croce, street band along the river museums open late (Uffizi, civic museums, and other science museums) and shows for children at the Institute of the Innocenti, the Leopoldine and the Canottieri Comunali.
