Pessoa Luna Park: A Cultural Amusement Park in Naples
Pessoa Luna Park, a traveling cultural initiative, has turned Fossato di Castel Sant'Elmo in Naples into an open-air hub for contemporary art, running until October 4, 2026. Launched on July 16, the event includes jam sessions, concerts, DJ performances, themed parties, and film showings featuring repurposed car seats. Classic board games are transformed into oversized installations that encourage interaction.

Emphasizing ecology, the project features a green market and a fablab utilizing Precious Plastic. Open Thursday to Sunday from 5:30 PM to 12:30 AM, with weekend hours starting at 11 AM, admission costs €2.50, reduced to €2 for ages 18-25, and is free for those under 18 and over 65.
