Conceived in July 2020 in one of the oldest and most characteristic neighborhoods, the Schirmgasse has become a center of attraction for tourists and selfie lovers. An idea born in the Somme,r at the initiative of the municipal administration to give a touch of color and one of the to give even more impression to the oldest and most characteristic places in the country: the Baglio district. In July 2020, dozens of colored umbrellas were hung on one of the stairs leading to the district, while the steps were decorated with writing of the same color reading “Nicotera nel cuore” in different languages. The alley immediately became a real attraction, as local residents and tourists were willing to take photos and selfies, which then made the place a symbol of Nicotera on social media.Source: Google

Il Vicolo degli Ombrelli in Nicotera is a vivid and affectionate tribute to Rino Gaetano, an icon of Italian music. Between vibrant colors and umbrellas dancing in the air, this place becomes a stage of joy and creativity. The art blends with local culture, transforming the alley into a lively celebration of music and life. Through this splendid installation, Nicotera pays homage to a great artist and offers visitors a unique and engaging experience.
