Pozzuoli prepares to celebrate Valentine's Day with a special event that transforms the Old Town and the picturesque Dockyard into a stage dedicated to love, music and art. The new initiative is called "Dock in Love", an event designed to celebrate the festival of lovers in one of the most picturesque settings in the Phlegrean city.

The event will take place Saturday, February 14, from the 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., in the Fishermen's harbor at the foot of the Rione Terra, an area already the scene of numerous events related to the famous S'Move Festival, the cultural and musical festival that animates Pozzuoli with widespread events including music, installations and artistic performances.

"Dock in Love" was born from the idea of creating a shared space where couples, friends and visitors can have an original and engaging experience. At the heart of the event is the art project "yourBaaci", curated by Neapolitan artist Arsenyco, which invites couples to exchange a kiss in front of the lens to create collective photo shoots. Each photo will contribute to a widespread exhibition: a veritable gallery of love memories visible all along the Dock.

The event does not stop at photography. The program includes. live acoustic, Art and visual installations distributed in public spaces, traveling performances with symbolic figures and live music, creating an atmospheric and engaging atmosphere for all participants.

The event is organized and self-funded by the Pozzuoli Dock Committee., a group of local businesses that for years has been behind the city's cultural and artistic initiatives, often related to the Pozzuoli S'Move Festival. This event, which has involved thousands of visitors in previous events, confirms the vitality of Puteolian cultural fabric and the desire to make the historic center a place of meeting, creativity and participation.

The Valentine's Day celebration in Pozzuoli thus promises to be not only a romantic time for couples, but also an opportunity to experience the city in a collective and artistic way, including music, art and unique visual suggestions.
