Adriatic Tattoo & Sport Festival

The inaugural edition of the Adriatic Tattoo & Sport Festival debuted in Senigallia from Friday, June 20 to Sunday, June 22, 2025, bringing for the first time in Italy a format of this kind directly into the historic center of a city. For three days, from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM, the squares of Piazza Simoncelli, Gardens of Rocca Roveresca, Piazza del Duca, and Foro Annonario hosted 250 tattoo artists, artists, and performers from all over Italy and beyond.

Sport was the protagonist with demonstrations and open lessons in basketball, Muay Thai, 5-a-side football, boxing, yoga, and pickleball. The evening program alternated DJ sets, urban dance performances, and live music with indie, hip hop, and rock sounds. Among the special events was the presentation of the book Tattoografia by psychologist and psychoanalyst Omar Fassio, dedicated to the deep link between identity, skin, and memory. Free admission made the event a widespread and participatory celebration for the entire Senigallia.
