Are you going to Italy and are you desperately looking for music concerts? The locations here in Italy are astonishing! Castles, churches, amphitheatre and amazing squares throughout Italy are full of high-quality performances during the summer.
Outdoor music and performing arts are fantastic in many towns and cities along Italy during the summer, but we can advice also some regular big festivals, such as the following:
Veneto:
Let’s start with Verona Opera, one of the most important summer opera festival, with open-air performances in the incredible scenic background of the famous and well-preserved Roman amphitheatre of Verona.
Lombardia:
LakeComo Festival: Music on LakeComo means a lot of summer performances around the lake (starting in July). The festival showcastes international performing artists and composers, with great sightseeing. Soundscape composition and performance exchange is instead a frontier to the discover: aka it is a festival for new music in Italy, both instrumental and vocal. Whare to go? Soundscape is located in Maccagno on Lake Maggiore.
Tuscany:
