About Battiferro
Battiferro is a canalside, association-run venue on the Navile that runs a weekly Afrocaribe Tuesday mixing salsa, bachata and kizomba with DJ Marc and an emphasis on social dancing. The space is an oasi verde — a riverside outdoor/covered area with a bar where you can order tigelle, piadine and crescente; the venue advertises ample free parking and is a short cycle or walk along the canal rather than in the historic centre.
Practical rhythm: doors open 20:00, a free "primi passi" Kizomba lesson runs 21:00–21:30, followed by a guided dance from 21:45; entry is €7 and normally covers the lesson plus the social. Places are limited and the site advises booking. The nights are DJ-led rather than band nights and the programme runs Tue–Sat on the venue site, with Tuesday specifically branded Afrocaribe. Good for summer evenings by the water.
