Not just songs. Musicals, philosophy. Two big names, and laughter.


Roberto Vecchioni returns to the live show on Wednesday 3rd
A musical, a philosopher, two leading figures in Italian songwriting, and a comedian. The "Vigevano in Castello" festival continues into the first week of September. On the first of the month, "Forza Venite Gente" takes center stage: the story of Saint Francis of Assisi comes to life under the stars in a show that has already moved millions of spectators across Italy. The following day, Umberto Galimberti dedicates his reflections to "The Utopia of Happiness." To discuss it, we need to step back, understand its history, its conception, and the motivation that drives humanity in its constant search.
It is in this context that Galimberti dedicates a lecture to the evolution of the pursuit of happiness, from the tragic vision of the Greek world to Christian optimism. On September 3rd, it's Roberto Vecchioni's turn, returning to the live stage with "Tra il silenzio e il tuono Tour," named after his latest literary work, which topped the Italian fiction charts. The grand spectacle of songs, images, and monologues begins with songs from his latest album, "L'Infinito," before moving on to classics from his repertoire in a narrative that blends music, words, and images. On Friday, September 5th, under the stars, within the walls of the Castle, Marco Masini performs "Ci vorrei ancora il mare."
Thirty-five years of career, music, history, and emotion that have shaped Italian music. Thirty-five years after his debut with "Ci vuole ancora il mare" and "Disperato," and thirty years after the unforgettable album "Il cielo della vergine" with "Bella stronza," Masini returns on tour for a magical event. Finally, on Sunday the 7th, it will be Valentina Persia's turn with "Ma che te ridi?! On tour." Persia brings overwhelming energy and charm to the stage. With her unique style and irrepressible wit, she promises an evening of laughter. Entrance to the Castle for the shows is through the Gothic arch on Corso della Repubblica. Tickets are available online at Ticketone or at authorized sales points.
