Just a week ago the 9th edition of the Barezzi festival started. It is an event that brings together music, theatre and tastes.

Barezzi Night- Tonight we Tanqueray is the event you cannot miss if you love the province of Parma and its wonderful theatres. In fact you have the chance to rediscover these theatres in a completely different way. We are talking about contemporary music, rock, world music and electronic music concerts that will take place at the Magnani Theatre in Fidenza, at the Verdi Theatre in Busseto, at the Lenz Theatre and in the deconsecrated San Ludovico church in Parma.
The aim of the Barezzi Night is to attract people who have never entered a theatre. And there is more: new cocktails, made specifically for this occasion. The main ingredient is the Tanqueray No. TEN gin, well-known for its delicious lime, orange and grapefruit taste.
In this area, music, theatre and alcoholic drinks have always been connected. Indeed the festival is named after a little-known alcoholic beverage producer, Antonio Barezzi, who lived in Busseto in the 19th century. Thanks to this very production, Antonio could support his son-in-law who was going to study music in Milan. His name was Giuseppe Verdi!
When and who?
When is the next Barezzi Night and who are the protagonists?
