This year’s edition of the festival is entitled ll Mito e il Sogno (The Myth and the Dream) and has the balance of tradition and innovation at its core.
Instead of trekking down to Pompeii, why not explore Rome’s very own ghost town, Ostia Antica? Wander the amazingly well preserved streets of what was once a bustling seaport at the mouth of the Tiber.
Ostia, Rome’s iconic seaside neighbourhood, is the perfect destination for a day trip in the sun. Easily reachable both by car and public transport, you’ll want to take an excursion to this waterfront.
