Borgate dal Vivo — Susa

Borgate dal Vivo, the Susa Valley's widespread festival

Borgate dal Vivo is one of Piedmont's most original summer festivals. Its unique format brings concerts, theatre, and live performances to alpine villages and the most evocative historic sites in the Susa Valley, living up to its slogan: "the biggest festival in the smallest places." Founded in 2016 and curated by the Revejo association under the artistic direction of Alberto Milesi, the festival reaches its 11th edition in 2026. Running from June 26th to August 29th, it features over 35 events across fourteen municipalities in the provinces of Turin and Cuneo.

The Roman Amphitheatre of Susa, the heart of the festival

The town of Susa, in the province of Turin, is the symbolic home of the event. Each year, it hosts the inaugural weekend in its Roman Amphitheatre, an archaeological site with a capacity of about one thousand, providing a breathtaking backdrop for evening shows under the stars. Attending a concert within the walls of a Roman-era amphitheatre, in the city once belonging to Queen Adelaide, combines live art, historical heritage, and mountain landscapes into an unforgettable experience.

The 2026 program in Susa

For the 2026 edition, the Roman Amphitheatre of Susa lights up the festival with three standout evenings:

• Friday, June 26, 2026 — «La misteriosa scomparsa di W», a theatrical performance starring Ambra Angiolini, based on the text by Stefano Benni: a highly anticipated debut that officially opens the festival.
• Saturday, June 27, 2026 — Cristiano De André sings Fabrizio De André, a tribute from the son to the repertoire of the great Genoese singer-songwriter.
• Sunday, June 28, 2026 — A concert by Niccolò Fabi, one of the most beloved voices in Italian songwriting.

A widespread and sustainable festival

The Susa evenings kick off a broader program that continues until the end of August, reaching fascinating locations such as the Fort of Exilles, the Castle of Susa, the Castles of Lagnasco, and the former Musso Barracks in Saluzzo, alternating big names of the Italian scene with emerging artists. Alongside the concerts, the «Borgate in Cammino» project offers trekking itineraries featuring theatrical and musical storytelling along the valley's trails. Borgate dal Vivo is recognized as an eco-sustainable event (Legambiente's Eco Certified Events) and supports charity and reforestation projects.
