A Piedi Nudi Ecofestival
Four days of live music, zero-kilometre food, and environmental sustainability in the village of Santa Luce
About A Piedi Nudi
A Piedi Nudi Ecofestival, the sustainable summer of Santa Luce
Among the rolling hills of the Pisan Hills, the small town of Santa Luce, in the Province of Pisa (Tuscany), becomes a meeting point every August for those who love live music, good food, and respect for the environment. A Piedi Nudi Ecofestival is a free event organized by the ARCI Sports and Culture Association of Santa Luce, which was founded in 2011 and has grown over time to become one of the most anticipated summer events in the Pisan hinterland.
Music, community, and grassroots commitment
The festival takes place around the ARCI Club of Santa Luce, in Piazza Luigi Pellegrini, and comes to life thanks to the work of over a hundred volunteers. The main stage hosts a rotation of reggae bands, indie projects, world music groups, and emerging artists, with free evening concerts. Every night, before the live shows, an aperitif on the lawn welcomes the public with DJ sets and live performances, in an informal and welcoming atmosphere that brings together different generations and cultures.
Zero-kilometre cuisine and the culture of sustainability
One of the hallmarks of A Piedi Nudi is the festival restaurant, which offers dishes made with zero-kilometre products sourced directly from local farms: pasta, oil, flour, wine, and local meats, with a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. Craft beers from the Tuscan brewery Bruton are on tap. The entire event focuses on plastic-free management, waste recycling, and CO2 emission compensation initiatives, such as planting bamboo forests in Tuscany.
A village to discover on foot
Alongside the concerts, the festival offers ecological walks along the nature trails of the Pisan Hills, just a stone's throw from the Santa Luce Lake Oasis, a protected area managed by the WWF and a popular destination for birdwatchers. Stalls featuring artisans and small producers complete the experience, transforming the village into a living showcase of local excellence. A Piedi Nudi is much more than a music festival: it is a way to experience Santa Luce and the lesser-known Tuscany in a slow, authentic, and environmentally friendly way.
