Italians in Basel, Switzerland

The 3rd Opera Festival of BASEL/Riehen presents Gioacchino Rossinis's "Il Turco in Italia" in the Reithalle Wenkenhof, Riehen near Basel from 30th August to 6th September 2008.

Switzerland's largest Roman festival will take place at the end of August at Augusta Raurica, the excavations of a Roman settlement east of Basel. The well-designed site has lots of information on the excavations, museum, and events.

Don't know where Basel is? It's one of my favorite cities of Switzerland. See a Switzerland Map.
