Luci d'Artista 2026 turns Salerno into an open-air luminous art route for its 21st edition, spread across streets, squares, gardens and central landmarks. According to InfoCilento, the inauguration is on 7 November 2026 and access is free.
The Municipality of Salerno describes the event as a distributed route through symbolic city locations rather than a single site. Visitors can follow maps and information totems along the route, with QR codes linking to descriptions, narrated content and Italian Sign Language videos for selected works.
The municipal mobility guidance advises visitors to use public transport where possible. The metro connects Salerno's central station with Stadio Arechi, and extended evening and night services run on listed event dates.
Drivers can use parking around Stadio Arechi and continue toward the centre by metro. Alternative arrangements apply when football matches occupy the area, so drivers should check match-day notices before travelling.
Tourist buses must use designated parking areas and generally require advance reservations, according to Salerno Mobilita. Arechi is the main parking area, while Mercatello is used in specified circumstances such as home football matches.
The Salerno Mobilita regulations give a regulatory event period ending on 24 January 2027, while InfoCilento reports installations active until 1 February 2027. Visitors should confirm the definitive closing date with the Municipality of Salerno.
Metro, shuttle, parking and football-match arrangements may change. Visitors should check the latest Trenitalia, Busitalia, Comune di Salerno and Salerno Mobilita notices before travelling.
