A Notte di Memoria

This festival has historical spectacles recalling the arrival of the Genoese governor in Bastia, capital of the Kingdom of Corsica. This ceremony is where the new governor is accommodated with the old port and passes through the streets of the old town to the square where the keep stands.

The Governor is then invested with the outgoing official's authority. A demonstration of flag twirling and drumming accompanies the 150-strong procession, and there are impressive spectacles in the Vieux-port and on the place du Donjon. The event happens in the month of July.
