The EUI is part of an exciting initiative organized by the Comune di Firenze called Notte Blu “Notte Blu di Firenze - L'Europa in 27 ore”. This non-stop event lasting 27 hours — as many hours as the number of EU Member States — celebrates the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. Between Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 May a series of cultural, musical, sporting and enogastromonic events, all dedicated to Europe, will take place. The Notte Blu will be an opportunity for comparison and reflection, but above all it will be a chance to have fun and meet people. Consult www.notteblu.eu for more information.
