Events in and around Gaeta | Fall – Winter 2019/2020
In Gaeta, there is no end of partying! From September through January, you will find a calendar full of must-see events.
BIZANTINE NEW YEAR IN GAETA | 3 and 8 Sep 2019
It begins with the Byzantine New Year which, on September 3 and 8, will enliven the streets of Gaeta with processions and historical re-enactments. You will say, summer has just ended and we already have to prepare for the beginning of another year? Yes, but only because of the Julian calendar, which makes New Year’s Day fall between August 31 and September 1.
On Sept. 8, Medieval Gaeta will be the scene of a historical procession composed of more than 100 figures, adorned in period clothing, who will perform choral choreography. The procession of flag-wavers, knights, representatives of the nobility and Byzantine clergy will culminate with the investiture of the Hypata.
If you’re not from Gaeta and want to get to the area without worrying about finding parking, what could be better than a cab service that takes you directly to the desired location? With Gaeta Taxi Service you can reach any place without any problems, whether long or short distances.

ANTHOLOGY EXHIBITION “THE LIGHT OF GAETA” | July 7 – September 21, 2019
Continuing through Sept. 21 is the anthological exhibition “The Light of Gaeta,” at the Municipal Art Gallery. Exhibiting the most representative works of his creative journey, chosen from paintings and sculptures created between 1960 and 2019, is artist Ruggiero di Lollo, originally from Agnone and adopted by Gaeta.
The Pinacoteca, with its many diverse exhibitions of artists from all over the world, is one of Gaeta’s most interesting places for art lovers. Its elevated location, relative to the medieval district, and the difficulty in finding parking makes it more challenging to reach. All it takes to enjoy the experience is a call to Gaeta Taxi Service, whose efficient and punctual service will relieve you of any hassle.
TALES OF LIGHT | November 3, 2019 – January 20, 2020
