Settenovecento

The tenth edition of the Settenovecento Festival, one of the most anticipated events on Trentino’s classical music scene, is titled “Mediterraneo” A journey across the shores of the sea that has always both divided and united peoples, cultures, and histories.

The festival is part of a three-year geographical exploration that already brought audiences to the Northern Seas in 2025 and will conclude with the Atlantic in 2027.

An ambitious and coherent project capable of recounting music as a bridge between civilizations. Rovereto thus confirms its status as a high-quality stage, a place where art, nature, and history meet in a continuous and surprising play of reflections.
