Following the success of its first edition, Salotto Summer Fest returns from 19 to 21 June 2026 for its second consecutive year in the beautiful setting of Villa Salina Malpighi in Castel Maggiore.
Organized by Il Salotto dell'Artista with the support of the Municipality of Castel Maggiore and the Reno Galliera Union, the festival will once again transform the villa's park into a large open-air living room: a space where music becomes an opportunity for connection and discovery.
The stage will host a line-up spanning different genres and sounds, featuring artists from Emilia-Romagna and various parts of the Italian music scene.
Salotto Summer Fest is part of Bologna Estate 2026, the programme of events promoted and coordinated by the Municipality of Bologna and the Metropolitan City of Bologna – Bologna-Modena Tourist Area.
