Attraverso Festival

A festival that crosses Piedmont

Attraverso Festival is one of Piedmont's most beloved cultural events: a traveling journey that runs from July to September, visiting dozens of towns across the Langhe, Roero, Monferrato, and Piedmontese Apennines. It brings performances, concerts, and meetings to the territory's most beautiful locations, from historic courtyards to the rolling hills of the UNESCO-recognized vineyard landscape. Conceived and organized by the Hiroshima Mon Amour ETS Association, the festival is defined by its "widespread culture" approach, choosing not to concentrate in a single location but to animate the entire hilly region.

The 2026 11th Edition: The #pop Theme

For 2026, the festival presents its eleventh edition, built around the theme #pop: a summer that intertwines live performance and intellectual discourse, with over forty events spread across nearly thirty municipalities in the provinces of Alessandria, Asti, and Cuneo. The program ranges from auteur theater to music, and from literary meetings to major popular science conferences, with a calendar that unfolds throughout the Piedmontese summer, from mid-July to mid-September.

The Casale Monferrato Evenings

In Casale Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria, the festival stops in the heart of the city at the historic Cortile di Palazzo Langosco (Via Cavour 5) for two evenings in early September. These dates are part of the city's rich September calendar, alongside the Monferrato Wine Festival, confirming the well-established bond between Attraverso Festival and the Monferrato city.

• Ambra Angiolini makes her directorial debut with La misteriosa scomparsa di W, inspired by a text by Stefano Benni, featuring sound design by Dardust.
• Luca Bizzarri performs his satirical monologue Non hanno un (amico) dubbio, written with Ugo Ripamonti.

Culture and Territory

The strength of Attraverso Festival lies in its ability to combine big names in Italian entertainment with the promotion of the territory: every evening is an opportunity to discover a village, a historic palace, or a panoramic hill in the Monferrato and Langhe areas. In Casale Monferrato, the Palazzo Langosco courtyard offers an intimate and evocative setting, perfect for open-air theater on summer nights.
