In the region Romagna, from 20th to 24th July, the Riviera and the hinterland will celebrate a great event linked to the folk music and ballroom dancing promoted by the Emilia Romagna Region: LaNotte del Liscio. The municipalities on the Adriatic coast (Comacchio, Ravenna, Cervia- Milano Marittima, Cesenatico, Gatteo Mare, San Mauro Mare, Bellaria Igea Marina, Rimini, Riccione, Misano Adriatico, Cattolica) together with the villages in the hinterland will propose a calendar of music and dancing - waltz, polka and mazurka - performed by famous orchestras, but also revisited by young bands in contemporary style. The event will animate the beaches and the squares of the region with professional dancers and with people of all ages who are keen on ballroom and folk dancing.

Many are the appointments on schedule.
The highlight in Rimini is on Saturday July 23rd with Goran Bregovic, the internationally well known musician and composer, a master in mixing folk and electronic music, rhythms and sacred themes, and composer of the soundtracks of the cult film by the director Emir Kusturica.
The Serbian musician will perform on the stage giving the public his personal reinterpretation of the traditional folk music which will culminate with the famous song, "Romagna Mia", performed together with the Orchestras Mirko Casadei and Moreno Biondo & Extraliscio with, as guests, Cisco (the frontman of the Modena City Ramblers) and Mirco Mariani.
