On June 28 and 29, 2025, the beautiful park of Villa Salina Malpighi in Castel Maggiore will host the first edition of Salotto Summer Fest—two days of live music and free activities for all ages, organized by Il Salotto dell’Artista.
Saturday evening will feature performances by Nico Arezzo, De.Stradis, Moon Foongo, Laurino, and Livrea, along with the live finale of Divano Podcast, with special guest Nickulele.
Sunday kicks off with Yoga and a Soundhealing session led by Martina Pezzoli, a kids’ music and theater workshop titled “Ma…Veramente?!” led by Giulia Grifa and Theano Vavatziani, a screen printing workshop by BòBO Lab, and a brunch by ProLoco di Castel Maggiore, offering delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options.
In the afternoon, Edoardo Vilella will guide guests through a musical journey of vinyl and listening tips. Live performances will follow from Emily, Coccino, Cinque Uomini sulla Cassa del Morto, Tap’a Boogie, and Space Germs, leading into an open jam session blending R&B, soul, hip-hop, funk, and drum and bass. The festival is designed as a cozy, shared space—like a real “salotto”—where artists and audiences come together to listen, connect, and enjoy music in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
