Time a vacation idea. For several years there in my home region on the Lago Maggiore, the festival "Tones on the Stones' place, a number of music and dance events in different quarries.

Unfortunately, the photograph was forbidden, so the following only a few general photos, but the site you'll find plenty more pictures and videos.
