The two vessels will be moored at the Andrea Doria Dock where they form an amphitheater that includes a large stage and grandstand with seating for the 4000 guests on both vessels.

The event will involve the entire city of Genoa with a spectacle of light and music dedicated to Italian-made excellence. This will include musical and artistic performances by some of the most important figures on the Italian and international scene, accompanied by Maestro Mauro Pagani, a professional musician with a highly successful career spanning 30 years; Pagani, who is the founder of Premiata Forneria Marconi, composed the sound track for the Costa Pacifica, the first “ship of music.” The climax of the event will be a spectacle involving the entire city that features special lighting effects, music and a fireworks display.

The event will be broadcast live on the Internet from 10.00 pm (4 PM EST) at www.rai.tv and www.worldofcosta.com.
