Arena Beniamino Gigli — Summer Season

A Season of Shows Under the Svevo Castle

In the heart of Porto Recanati, a seaside town in the province of Macerata in the Marche region, the inner courtyard of the Svevo Castle transforms every summer into a grand open-air stage: it's the Beniamino Gigli Arena, named after the famous tenor originally from Recanati. With a capacity of approximately 2000 seats and overlooking the picturesque Piazza Fratelli Brancondi, the Arena is one of the most evocative live performance venues on the Marche Riviera.

A Program of Music, Comedy, and Theatre

The summer review is one of the richest in the area: from big names in Italian music to comedy stars, international rock, musicals, and singer-songwriters. Each year, the program mixes highly anticipated concerts and performance evenings, attracting audiences from all over the province of Macerata and beyond.

The evenings generally start around 9:00 PM, from early July to the end of August, during the liveliest period of the coast's tourist season. The castle setting, illuminated at night, offers a unique atmosphere that combines the historical charm of the seaside village with the energy of the concerts.

Porto Recanati and its Summer

The event at the Gigli Arena is part of a broader calendar of summer events that liven up Porto Recanati: the promenade, squares, and gardens host markets, festivals, and cultural events during the warm months. For those spending their holidays on the Marche Riviera, an evening at the Arena has become a tradition, capable of uniting tourists and residents in the charming square at the foot of the castle.
