The current Ravello Festival derives from a series of previous initiatives which make it the oldest of the Italian festivals after the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Girolamo Bottiglieri and Paolo Caruso are to be attributed with the idea of the cultural event which, more than any other thing, has contributed towards building the identity of Ravello as a “Città della musica” – City of Music. To further widen the offer, an even longer list of concerts is offered by the Ravello Concert Society usually from June until the end of August, in several location of the music-voted town, like the Annunziata Historical Building and the futuristic Oscar Niemeyer auditorium.
