The show offers the audience a night theatrical tour at the Borgia Fortress. The journey begins at Porta Romana, continues along Via Amerina, and traverses the entire historic residence illuminated by torches.

On the grand natural stage of the Fortress, guided by the Spirits, the stories of legendary characters such as Duke Valentino, Lucrezia and Rodrigo Borgia, and Giulia Farnese come to life.

Completing the tableau are other emblematic figures: the Witch, the Nun, the Beheaded, and the Duelists.

The Illustrious Ghosts, with their tales accompanied by the ancient melodies of the choir and the flute, will transport the audience back to a time of epic passions, unrestrained ambitions, violence and deceit, beauty and spirituality. ✨
