Luminara di San Ranieri

Event Dates

During the Luminara di San Ranieri in Pisa, more than 70,000 candles illuminate the banks of the river Arno in a breathtaking spectacle of light.

The candles are lit and hung on white wooden frames (biancheria), enhancing the shapes of the buildings, bridges, towers and churches that are dotted along the river. It's an old Pisan tradition that was initiated in the 17th century, but eventually became solely associated with the celebration of San Ranieri, the city's patron saint.
