Anagni Rock

Anagni Rock: The soundtrack of the Anagni summer

Anagni Rock is the festival that brings rock music to the heart of the historic center of Anagni, a charming town in the Ciociaria area, in the province of Frosinone, Lazio. Launched just a few years ago, the event has quickly won over a loyal audience thanks to a simple and winning formula: three consecutive nights of major live concerts, completely free of charge, held in one of the city's most evocative squares.

Piazza Cavour: A stage in the City of Popes

The beating heart of the festival is Piazza Cavour, a panoramic terrace overlooking the valley and a central hub of local life. Here, a stage is set up that transforms into an open-air arena for three summer nights. Anagni, famous as the "City of Popes" for being the birthplace of several pontiffs and the site of the historic "slap" to Boniface VIII, provides a unique medieval backdrop where ancient stone walls frame electric guitars and the most famous riffs in rock history.

A tribute to rock legends

The Anagni Rock program is built around tribute bands—ensembles that recreate the repertoire of music's greatest names with care and passion. In past editions, the audience has relived the energy of Vasco Rossi, the power of AC/DC, and the atmosphere of Aerosmith, in a journey that weaves together Italian rock and international legends. Each evening features a different artist or band, catering to the tastes of fans of every generation.

Music, community, and territory

Beyond the concerts, the event is a gathering point for the community and visitors alike. Summer evenings in the square are complemented by the liveliness of local bars, strolls through medieval alleys, and the discovery of Anagni's monumental treasures, from the Cathedral of Santa Maria to the Palace of Boniface VIII. The free, open-air nature of the festival makes it a perfect outing for families, young people, and music lovers.
