There are lots of reasons why it's worth coming to Not Film Fest and discover Santarcangelo di Romagna:
its strong local identity and the atmosphere of a small village where life follows a subdued pace, the architectural beauty of its elegant buildings, village houses, narrow streets and small squares, which have garnered it the title of a "city of art", and the international events and village fetes that bring it to life with their wonderful flavors.
