Wednesday 7 October will see the launch of the “Vivere i Loggiati” initiative, organised by the Department for Social Affairs of Pisa City Council in collaboration with Confcommercio Pisa. Throughout October, the initiative will bring the Loggiati in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele – on the side facing the Italian Post Office – as well as part of the square itself, to life with activities and events aimed at children, young people and families.

There will be markets selling antiques, handicrafts and traditional wooden toys, a book corner, play activities for children, workshops, board games and chess, live music, painting and photography exhibitions, face painting and juggling shows. 
From 7 October to 7 November, there will be 17 dates in total – comprising 4 ‘cultural Wednesdays’, 4 market days and 5 events – each offering a different reason to return to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele every week and enjoy the spaces of the Loggiati and the square.
