Clowns, street theatre, music, acrobatics and magic. Every Monday evening this summer, Scintille returns – the circus and theatre festival that brings Piazza della Repubblica in Misano Adriatico to life.

Sponsored by Misano Adriatico Town Council and organised by Arcipelago Ragazzi, Scintille offers free shows designed to engage children, families and audiences of all ages.
