Probably I visit this festival for one day. It's a 3 hour drive to Rappalo. What is the best date.....2nd?

 

[Tony]

Op dag 2 schiet La Rosa! En dat is ook nooit verkeerd!
Bruscella op dag 1 trouwens ook niet

 

[carlo]

All days are the same and each "sestiere" has his own (secret) budget.
On July 1st 2 small daylight at 8 a.m. + 2 night with Bruscella and Catapano.
On July 2nd night there will be La Rosa with its coreography + classic fireworks by Bavestrello (local company with Liccardo bombs made in Naples) and a big daylight fireworks by Ugo Lieto.
On July 3rd 3 night fireworks, BLB (castle's fire) + Ugo Lieto (classic+coreography) and Beppe Scudo (classic Naples).

I want to see La Rosa so I choose July 2nd. A long drive so I hope it's worth it!
