As of now, Galiano Street in <\/span>Havana<\/span><\/a> will not be the same. A whole constellation system adorns about a kilometer of the Avenida de Italia, official name of this popular street in the Cuban capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new light system named Planetario, the work of Italian stage designer Carmelo Giamello, who used several lights and spheres to recreate a kind of Milky Way, was inaugurated on the night of this October 30.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work is part of a similar initiative being carried out in the Italian city of Turin since 1998, and was donated to Cuba by the Italian city\u2019s mayor\u2019s office in honor of Havana’s 500th anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until 2021 the lights will be in the Cuban capital. The inauguration of this work is the prelude to the Avenida Italia event, which will take place from November 5 to 7 in the capital\u2019s centrally located street.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lights extend from Zanja to San L\u00e1zaro streets, almost reaching the Malec\u00f3n, to liven up the nights of this street, where several Havana spaces and centers of cultural and social interest converge, such as San Rafael Boulevard, the Am\u00e9rica Theater and Chinatown.<\/span><\/p>\n
