I obtained a wonderful antique Coccinelle purse for my wife, after using my best haggling skills, getting down to what I thought was a bargain price. Of course, it turned out to not actually be a true Coccinelle purse but it was and remains quite stylish. This Sunday, the 12th of April, there was an incredible marketplace of flowers, bulbs, cheeses and other sundries. The crowds were incredible since the weather was perfecto.

The programs is full of screenings (features, documentaries and shorts), as well as workshops, talks, and music happenings. It's a big social event for the city. Each evening from 7pm on, lots of people get together to enjoy the outside screenings as well as drink a glass of wine before theater screenings. Screenings are in original language, with Italian subtitles (no dabbed films!!); most of the times there are Q&A after the movie with filmmakers, actors and festivals's programmer. It's a cool 10-day event for the city, with a fresh young atmosphere. All movies are mostly never screened in Italy, are independent film productions, that arrive from international film festivals (Berlin, Rotterdam, Cannes, etc.)
