📆 June 27 – July 13, 2025
The Festival of the Two Worlds is one of the most prestigious and long-standing cultural events in Italy and on the international scene. Founded in 1958 by renowned composer Gian Carlo Menotti, the festival was conceived as a symbolic bridge between European and American cultures—hence the name "of the two worlds."

The festival is renowned for blending tradition and innovation, hosting both acclaimed artists and rising talents. It’s not just an artistic event but also a space for dialogue, exploration, and experimentation—where theatre, music, dance, opera, contemporary art, and literature come together, featuring internationally acclaimed artists as well as emerging voices.
🌍 A meeting of cultures, styles, and artistic languages.
With over two weeks of programming, the Festival is not only a must for lovers of the performing arts, but also an immersive experience in one of Italy’s most enchanting cities.
