“Once again this year,‘ explains Loano Mayor Luigi Pignocca, ’we welcome the summer season with what is now one of the most anticipated events on our calendar, not only locally but also regionally. Until late at night our town will be enlivened by concerts, tastings and many shopping opportunities for an event that has now become part of the DNA of the people of Loano and our guests. As has been the case for years now, our ‘Night in White’ inaugurates the season of great events that characterizes the ‘Loano tourist village’ and offers many moments of entertainment for all tastes and audiences, from young people to families. In short, the ”White Night' is the event with which Loano demonstrates all its attractiveness. Organizing an event of this magnitude requires a major effort from the whole city. The City Council, Ascom, Dimensione Eventi, merchants, associations, law enforcement and the many volunteers who will ensure the safety of the public throughout the day have worked together to offer our fellow citizens and guests an unforgettable time of fun.".
“Thanks to the always fruitful cooperation with Ascom and the economic categories of our city,‘ adds Tourism and Culture Councillor Remo Zaccaria, ’once again the ”Night in White' will bring fun to every corner of Loano. The real, great protagonist will be music, with more than twenty performance areas where rock and folk groups, cover bands, emerging artists, DJ sets and jazz singers will find space. As usual, the highlight will be the big free concert in Piazza Italia, which this year will see Stadio take the stage. It will be a great evening of fun for everyone.".
Daniela Leali, president of Ascom, adds, “For our association it is always a great pleasure to work with the municipality and Dimensioni Eventi in the organization of what is now one of the most well-known and appreciated events in Liguria. Once again in this edition, businesses and public establishments have joined in large numbers and are ready to offer Loano residents and guests an evening full of shopping, shows and entertainment and tastings. As always, Loano's ‘White Night’ represents a must-attend event in the city's calendar of events and, of course, will be able to bring important feedback for our local economy as well.

“We are very pleased to continue and strengthen the collaboration with the City of Loano,” explain from the management of Dimensione Eventi, "After a sparkling New Year's Eve that winked at the younger generation, we are moving on to a top artistic offer for this White Night 2018, presenting on stage a group that has made the history of Italian music, appreciated by a cross target audience. In particular, Gaetano Curreri is one of the most impressive composers and lyricists in the music scene of our country, and we are proud that he has chosen with his group, among the many proposals, precisely Loano. The Stadio will mark the beginning of an important 2018 summer season that will have its natural continuation at the Prince's Garden with the Dreams Festival concerts.".
This summer, Stadio return “on the road” with a show that contains some nice new features and all their biggest hits, from “Canzoni alla Radio,” “Acqua e Sapone,” via “Sorprendimi,” “Chied chi erano i Beatles,” “Ballando al buio,” “Generazione di Fenomeni,” to their most recent ones, including the winning song of the 2016 Sanremo Festival, “Un giorno Mi Dirai,” and “Tutti contro Tutti,” a song that boasts the extraordinary incursion of Vasco Rossi with whom Gaetano Curreri on July 1, 2017, shared the stage at Modena Park, the concert of records, playing on the piano some of the songs that have characterized their, by now, historic collaboration; “Rewind,” “I'll Catch You and Take You Away,” “Good or Bad,” “One Sense,” “And Now It's My Turn,” “The Simplest Man,” to name a few titles. Not forgetting the productions of early albums and songs such as “Albachiara” and “Jenny/Silvia.” That of Gaetano Curreri and the Stadio is a choice of the highest level that will make this summer an unmissable event, an almost unique opportunity to enjoy a show characterized by very few stages, waiting for many surprises that will be revealed in the coming months.
Prior to the performance of the winners of the 2016 San Remo Festival, a ceremony will be held to present the city's bathing establishments with the Blue Flag, the international recognition that Fee bestows on coastal resorts that meet certain criteria from the point of view of water quality and services offered, and which Loano has obtained this year for the ninth consecutive time.{:}
