A rich calendar of events for the fall in Pisa

I have just received a newsletter sent by the tourist council of Pisa and another one by the Mayor’s office and I am amazed at the amount and quality of the events being organized in Pisa this fall.

Here are some of the things that caught my attention the most!

• From October 7 to May 31, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11am a low cost tour of the monuments of Piazza dei Miracoli other than the Leaning Tower (8 euros). The visit includes admission to the Cathedral and the Baptistery. From  October 6 to December 15, every Thursday, visitors to the Museum of San Matteo (Piazza San Matteo in Soarta, Pisa)
  will have the opportunity to join in a free tour inclusive of a visit to Simone Martini’s Polyptych.
• From October 8 to  December 31, every Saturday at 10.30 am a tour of the city dedicated to the places where Galileo Galilei lived. More on the Galilean Tour.
• From October 9 to February 12, every second Sunday, at 6pm, a guided tour of Palazzo Blu and the Permanent Art Collection.
• Until November 20, From Corot to Renoir, an exhibit at Museo della Grafica which offers a glimpse of the great 19th-century French engraving season between Romanticism and Impressionism, with papers from both collection Timpanaro and from a private collection.
• Until the end of June 2012, every second Sunday of each month, an organ concert is held in the Church of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri (admission is free).
• From October 15 to January 29, Palazzo Blu will host an extraordinary exhibition of  masterpieces by Pablo Picasso.

Soon will be available a booklet called P.I.S.A. (Percorsi – Itinerari –  Sapori – Arte) with all the events of the fall and the winter in Pisa. The website related to this initiative is already online: www.pisacittapalcoscenico.it
