Mantova Summer Festival (Piazza Sordello)

The Mantua Summer Festival transforms the Renaissance heart of Mantua into an exceptional stage under the stars. In the picturesque setting of Piazza Sordello, a UNESCO heritage site framed by the Ducal Palace and St. Peter's Cathedral, unforgettable evenings come to life where music dialogues with history.

This summer event combines big names from the Italian and international music scene with innovative artistic performances. The unique atmosphere is created by the contrast between the medieval architecture and contemporary sounds, creating a sensorial experience that involves both visitors and Mantuans.

Concert lights illuminate the ancient facades, while the restaurants and bars in the square prolong the experience with tastings of typical local products. An event that fuses culture, entertainment and food and wine in one of Italy's most iconic locations, giving participants not only a show, but a journey through time among the wonders of the Gonzaga family.

Practical advice: It is recommended to check the official website for the list of permitted items to facilitate access. The concert area has no luggage storage facilities, so it is preferable to avoid bulky bags.
