Theatre, music, and performance along the Po River in Luzzara
About Argini Festival Luzzara
Argini Festival stops in Luzzara
Argini Festival is a new cultural project spread across the region, promoted by the Emilia-Romagna Region and curated by ATER Fondazione in collaboration with the Teatro Sociale Gualtieri. The festival transforms the course of the Po River into an open-air stage, crossing the riverside villages between the Reggio and Parma areas: after its inauguration in Boretto, the festival arrives in Luzzara, a municipality in the Province of Reggio Emilia overlooking the great river.
A day on the banks of the Po
The Luzzara stop takes place throughout Saturday, June 20, 2026, and connects the symbolic locations of the town: Lido Po with its River Park, the space of La Baia, and the central Piazza Adolfo Tedeschi, in front of the Teatro Sociale. The audience will be guided from the river's edge to the village square, on a path that intertwines installation, concert, and narrative theatre.
Between installation, folk, and eco-narrative storytelling
The program alternates different languages and is aimed at all ages. The performance installation La dinamica del controvento (The Dynamics of the Headwind) by Teatro Necessario, conceived as a musical carousel between a suspended piano and a flying carpet, will be at Lido Po; the free concert by Krano will feature folk-country and blues sounds sung in dialect; the evening will conclude with Andrea Pennacchi and his eco-narrative ballad, a reflection on the relationship between humans and nature, particularly suited for a festival born to tell the story of the river.
Luzzara, a town of culture on the Po
Luzzara has always been a place linked to art and the memory of the Po River: here Cesare Zavattini promoted the famous Premio Nazionale Arti Naive (National Award for Naive Art), and the village retains a strong riverside identity. Argini Festival fits naturally into this context, offering the inhabitants of Emilia-Romagna and visitors a day of free or affordably priced performances, outdoors, in the heart of the Bassa Reggiana region.
