The lovers of equestrian and horse-breeding business representatives gather in Verona, Italy, where on November 5 will begin the most popular in Europe International Fair - the Festival Fieracavalli, which is dedicated to the world of equestrian sport.

For the first time this fair was held in Verona on 14 March 1898 and since then Fieracavalli has been held annually. In 1950 it was awarded with the status of "international".

For the fans of spectacular entertainment in the numerous pavilions of the fair are held show programs, which are presented by illustrative performances of jockeys, horse races, riding competitions and rodeo. During the brakes of the performances visitors can dine and relax in the comfortable lounge of the Horse Club, where their attention will be brought to an exhibition of art works. Also any visitor will be able to enjoy a ride in a carriage drawn by four horses.

And in the evening in a specially built pavilion of Jumping Club Verona will be held a great show Horse Lyric, where amazing equestrian facilities will be accompanied by classical music, in addition in the show will take part famous opera singers and popular music ensembles.
