For the festival of its patron saint, Pisa illuminates the facades of its buildings, churches, and towers with candles outlining their shapes on the night of June 16th. The scenographic effect is amplified thanks to the reflection of the suggestive sight on the river Arno on which thousands of candles float along on the current through this Tuscan city . Visitors who come to Pisa on this special day are treated to a spectacular fireworks display at the end of this long day of festivity.
