Acrobatics, music and fireworks: for the New Year's Eve Pisa comes alive with street shows that will involve Pisans and tourists throughout the evening in the squares of the historic center up to the great pyromusical spectacle on the Lungarni. "Also this year we have chosen to insist on a quality proposal for all those who are looking for cities of art and culture to spend the holidays of the last year.For four years we have tried to transform even the last of the year on the occasion of tourist promotion of our city.That is why we abandoned the idea of a simple concert to pursue a more articulate level of offer able to intercept the different needs of tourists and residents with spectacular initiatives throughout the whole the day: a formula that has worked very well growing from year to year and that has brought families on the streets of Pisa, eager to celebrate the arrival of the new year in the square, "commented Deputy Mayor Paolo Ghezzi with responsibility for tourism.
