Borgo in Jazz Festival — tappa di Ripalimosani

Jazz in the villages of Molise

The Borgo in Jazz Festival is the event that has been bringing jazz to the historic centers of small Molise villages since 2015. Born from an idea by maestro Nicola Concettini and coordinated by the Associazione Borgo in Jazz (Borgo in Jazz Association) of Gambatesa, the festival is a distributed event that combines the enhancement of historic centers with the promotion of jazz music and contemporary art.

Ripalimosani, one of the stops

Ripalimosani (CB) is among the municipalities hosting the festival, along with Campobasso, Spinete, Baranello, Casacalenda, Gambatesa, Cercemaggiore, Pietracupa, Vinchiaturo, Morcone, and Ferrazzano. In the 11th edition in 2026, scheduled from June 16 to August 12, the festival offers fifteen concerts spread across the various villages, featuring national and international artists such as Addison Frei, Rosario Giuliani, Mario Corvini Big Band, Daniele Tittarelli, Fabio Zeppetella, Luca Mannutza, and Lorenzo Tucci.

Music and territory

The project aims to promote cultural and musical events that echo the jazz tradition, fostering tourism initiatives and collaborations between Pro Loco (local tourist boards), public bodies, and associations in the involved territories, to revitalize the small towns of Molise through culture.
