Artist Lights: The Winter Solstice of Modern Art

At the darkest time of the year, Salerno responds with an’explosion of creativity that has become a national case: Luci d’Artista. Although a modern event, it has its roots in man’ ancestral need to celebrate the return of the sun during the winter solstice. Hundreds of thousands of visitors crowd the streets to admire installations that transform squares and alleys into enchanted kingdoms. It is the new face of Salerno tradition: a “marketing of the territory” that does not forget the magic of Christmas’anticipation, combining technological innovation with the warmth of community celebration.
