Anzio's Summer Jazz Time

Summer Jazz in Anzio

Anzio's Summer Jazz Time is one of the most anticipated musical events of the summer on the Roman coast. Every July, the historic courtyard of Villa Corsini Sarsina in Anzio, in the province of Rome, transforms into an open-air stage dedicated to high-quality jazz. The festival, produced by the Associazione Culturale Hangar with the support of the Municipality of Anzio, is artistically directed by guitarist Francesco Bruno, a key figure in the Roman jazz scene.

An evocative setting on the coast

The choice of Villa Corsini Sarsina is no coincidence: the historic residence, with its intimate and secluded courtyard, offers warm acoustics and an elegant setting that enhances live listening. The concerts take place in the evening, when the heat of the day gives way to the sea breeze, offering the audience an experience that is both intense and relaxed. The event is part of the rich summer calendar of Anzio, helping to establish the town as a cultural destination beyond its seaside appeal.

Great names of Italian jazz

Throughout its editions, Anzio's Summer Jazz Time has hosted some of the most acclaimed musicians on the national and international scene. The festival alternates between soloists, trios, quartets, and quintets, ranging from solo piano to larger ensembles, with a particular focus on research and innovation in jazz language. Each edition is dedicated to an inspiring figure, serving as a common thread between the concerts and the accompanying arts.

More than just music

Alongside the concerts, the festival offers moments of poetry, visual arts, and record presentations, creating a dialogue between different creative languages. This multidisciplinary approach makes each evening a small cultural event in its own right, capable of engaging both jazz enthusiasts and curious newcomers.

A festival for the local area

Anzio's Summer Jazz Time represents an important part of the cultural offering of the coastal Lazio region. The event combines the promotion of original jazz with the enhancement of the city's historical heritage, offering locals and tourists four nights of great music in an exceptional setting.
