you like to spend New Year away from home but you're not going to go away?
An 'interesting idea would be to celebrate the New Year 2011 in Bologna.
Bologna is waiting for you with many opportunities for fun for everyone!
At the New Year, the city comes alive of many festivals and events taking place a little 'anywhere in the city, even if the event felt more representative of the New Year and Bologna is undoubtedly the ritual of the Burning Vecchione.
What happens the night of 31 December in Bologna? Most of the Bolognese and tourists are pouring into the city in Piazza Maggiore to participate in the New Year celebrations and in particular to the ritual of the Burning Vecchione. The
Vecchione is a puppet of straw that is burned at midnight, symbolizing the year just ended. His stake is the final goodbye past year and the "jump" in the new year instead, as a metaphor for auspicious and renewal, accompanied by music, dancing, fireworks and of course inevitable with cake and champagne toast. This year we will celebrate with a mega concert which will feature the singers the X Factor. The winner Nathalie, the Kymera, Mongavero David and Julie will be performing on stage in Bologna under the leadership of Francesco Facchinetti. The concert will continue after midnight with a performance of great Noemi. If you want to find alternatives to Bologna, there are numerous local offering many ways to spend New Year's Eve to remember.
