Festivals and cultural events Italy

Every year, in the heart of summer, the biggest jazz festival in Sardinia takes place, an event that is becoming increasingly famous. Let yourself be carried away by the harmony and syncopated rhythm on unusual stages between the old town and the most beautiful beaches of the island: great music, big names of the national and international jazz scene in breathtaking settings such as the beaches of Cala Sapone, Cala Lunga or Maladroxia. The whole island is in effervescence during the festival, an opportunity to link tourism and culture.

Since 1983, the ancient theater of Nora hosts the "Night of Poets". It is one of the most important cultural events in the region of Cagliari. The festival offers a wide range of events: opera, concerts of contemporary music, theater. It takes place outdoors in the extraordinary setting of one of the most beautiful wild places of Sardinia. Prestigious guests of international renown jostle each other: Paolo Conte, Alessandro Barrico, the Sardinian singer Elena Ledda, the Cuban Jazz & Blues Quartet..

In summer, Rome seems a little deserted and, apart from the tourist attractions, everything runs slowly... But in recent years, the "Estate Romana" festival has clearly boosted the city during the summer season by offering an open stage with a rich calendar of events and shows. Open-air cinema, concerts, theatrical performances: the programme is interesting and allows you to spend beautiful summer evenings! To consult the program, note that their Facebook page is much more up-to-date than their site.

Whether as a preview or retrospective, from a short auteur film to a blockbuster, all film lovers are invited to meet on the island of Tiberina for this major open-air film festival. Sessions are offered all summer long and very often directors or actors are involved. It is the ideal place to refresh yourself while revising your Italian and international film classics. Consult the program to identify the VO sessions if you do not speak Italian. However, it should be noted that they are quite rare.
