LateRooms.com - Rome Gets Ready for Primo Maggio Concert

Rome's Primo Maggio festival is a day of free music and other entertainment.

2011-04-06

ROME, ITALY, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Every year on May 1st, the people of Rome gather for a special day of music in the Piazza San Giovanni.

Known as the Primo Maggio concert, this free event represents the Italian capital's first festival of the spring season and is usually attended by people from all over the country.

The line-up is traditionally announced just days before the festival, so visitors will have to wait to see who is performing.

However, the event usually features a number of well-known Italian pop bands, solo acts and international artists, with the likes of Hard-Fi and Marlene Kuntz having performed at previous editions.

The live entertainment lasts all day and there are also numerous stalls offering food, T-shirts and other mementos for visitors.

May Day is expected to be particularly busy on the streets of Rome this year, as the date has been chosen for the beatification of Pope John Paul II.

Rome's deputy mayor has predicted that up to 1.3 million people will head to the city for a chance to watch the elaborate ceremony take place in St Peter's Square.

Tourists can use LateRooms.com to browse a wide range of 5 star hotels in Rome, including the Sheraton Roma Rome.
