The Basilica SS. Silvestro and Martino ai Monti joins the 9th Edition of the Long Night of the Churches ("Lunga Notte delle Chiese") that will take place on Friday, June 7.

The Long Night of Churches is the first "white night" of places of worship in which music, art, and culture are merged in the key of reflection and spirituality.

The theme that will be a common thread in the 2024 edition is a word that sounds like an invitation: “FIND ME ! “. This invitation is meant to be an answer to the question that was asked in the previous edition, namely, “WHERE ARE YOU?”

The program for the event at the Basilica SS. Silvestro and Martino ai Monti is:

8:30 PM: STORYTELLING ABOUT THE BASILICA
Storyteller: Fr. Lucio Maria Zappatore

9:30 P.M.: MUSICAL INTERLUDE

10 P.M.: “ALL'OMBRA DER CUPPOLONE”

12 MIDNIGHT: CLOSING OF THE BASILICA

The Long Night of the Churches is an event organized by the BellunoLaNotte.com association with the collaboration of the participating dioceses. The idea originated in 2016 from the already implemented and successful “Lange Nacht der Kirchen” project that has been taking place in Austria and South Tyrol for several years already, involving hundreds of churches at the same time.
