are open until 2.00 in the morning, whilst discotheques
and night clubs close much later.
There are numerous cinemas,
showing latest releases, as well as classics and limited

in particularly evocative ambiences. Throughout the year
many concerts, mainly classical music are held in basilicas
and ancient villas. The opera season goes from November
to June at the teatro dell'Opera, but some companies perform
