Music, theatre, and culture under the stars in Peccioli
Every summer, throughout the month of July, the small village of Peccioli, in the province of Pisa, transforms into one of Tuscany's most vibrant cultural hubs thanks to the 11 Lune Festival. Launched in 2005 and reaching its 22nd edition in 2026, the festival offers a rich program ranging from singer-songwriter music to prose theatre, opera to jazz, as well as cultural talks and events dedicated to local archaeology.
The beating heart of the festival is the Fonte Mazzola Amphitheatre, inaugurated in 2007 and built using sustainable bio-construction methods. With no curtains or artificial scenery, the structure opens directly onto the rolling landscape, providing a natural backdrop that shifts with the evening light. Some events also take place in other venues across the municipality of Peccioli, such as the Triangolo Verde in Legoli and other local hamlets.
The 2026 lineup, running from July 2nd to 30th, features a stellar cast of major Italian and international stars. Highly anticipated concerts include:
Alongside the concerts, the festival hosts theatre with artists like Stefano Massini and Edoardo Leo, as well as opera and numerous evening shows. The festival also features two well-established events: Le Canzoni del Post, now in its fifth year (July 3rd-4th), born from the musical newsletter of the newspaper Il Post, and Jazz Peccioli, a week dedicated to jazz and the New Orleans Experience, which spreads across the local hamlets and neighboring towns.
More than just a season of shows, 11 Lune is the expression of a cultural project that has made Peccioli a unique case in Italy for years: a village of just a few thousand inhabitants that invests heavily in contemporary art, museums, and major events. Over the years, the stage has hosted names such as Renzo Arbore, Salvatore Accardo, Massimo Ranieri, and Umberto Tozzi, confirming the festival as one of the most prestigious appointments of the Tuscan summer.
Attending a show at 11 Lune means experiencing Tuscan summer evenings in their most authentic form: the cool breeze of the hills, the scent of the countryside, and music resonating under a starry sky. An experience that combines high artistic quality with landscape beauty in one of the most evocative areas of the province of Pisa.
The 11 Lune Festival 2026 celebrates its 22nd edition with a full month of shows in Peccioli, from July 2nd to 30th. The 2026 program is rich and confirmed: singer-songwriter music takes center stage with Daniele Silvestri (July 3rd), James (July 4th, their only Italian summer date), Francesco Gabbani (July 15th), and Fiorella Mannoia (July 21st). There is also room for theatre with Stefano Massini and Edoardo Leo, as well as opera and numerous evening events. The festival also sees the return of Le Canzoni del Post, in its fifth edition (July 3rd-4th), and the week of Jazz Peccioli (July 7th-11th) with the New Orleans Experience.
Peccioli is located in the Valdera area, in the province of Pisa. By car, it can be reached via the SGC FI-PI-LI highway (Pontedera exit), continuing towards Valdera.
