One weekend in the middle of January, the Christmas decorations are stockpiled in the attic and everyone – young and old – gets back to routine. Resuming the daily life at the fast pace of Romanian life, as we know, is not easy and therefore, we all deserve a weekend of relaxation, culture and fun. We need it, because the holidays already seem so far away and next bridges also.
So what are you doing on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th January? After closing the gates to the villages and Christmas markets, the capital city begins a rebirth of culture, fairs and theater with weekends offering many stories to discover. Here are the events RomaToday has picked for this coming weekend:
Stefano Frissi, Tony Fornari and Emanuela Frissi in “Citra Una Volta”

Their musical legacy does not need recognition; it is just there. A journey between past and present, between gloom And laughter, the magical wake of the foursome has become a legend.
