BorgoMuse Festival
Sounds, rhythms, visions in the soul of the contrada
About BorgoMuse
A new festival for a village of the arts
The BorgoMuse Festival, with the subtitle "Sounds, rhythms, visions in the soul of the contrada", debuts in Collescipoli, an ancient medieval village part of Terni, in Umbria. The project's ambition is clear: to make Collescipoli the "village of the arts" of the city of Terni, transforming its historic fabric into a widespread cultural space.
A multidisciplinary program
The artistic proposal is characterized by an experimental aesthetic, focused on a folk-popular music festival that spans different eras and traditions: from ancient and medieval music to Celtic and Irish music, from Brazilian and Klezmer music to gypsy jazz, jazz, swing, and blues. The musical program is complemented by theatrical performances and performance readings, as well as the promotion of the region's food and wine excellences.
Venues and artistic direction
The performances take place in the most evocative spaces of the village: the collegiate church, the cloisters, the squares, and the historic palaces of Collescipoli. The artistic direction is entrusted to the writer, poet, and journalist Andrea Giuli, while the organizational direction is by Professor Marco Diamanti, artist and sculptor. The festival is born from the BAC (Borgo Arti Collescipoli) project and has been approved by the Ministry of Culture, with the participation of the Academies of Fine Arts in Rome and Viterbo and the involvement of educational institutions in the Terni area.
BorgoMuse — edition 2026
The first edition of the BorgoMuse Festival takes place from September 11 to 13, 2026, transforming Collescipoli into an open-air laboratory of music, theatre, and contemporary art. The festival, approved by the Ministry of Culture, offers a musical journey ranging from ancient and medieval music to Celtic and Irish folk, from Brazilian and Klezmer music to gypsy jazz, jazz, swing, and blues, enriched by theatrical performances and performance readings.
The artistic direction is by Andrea Giuli, and the organizational direction by Marco Diamanti. The Academies of Fine Arts in Rome and Viterbo have joined, along with Terni's educational institutions such as the Casagrande-Cesi hospitality school, the Angeloni music high school, and the Allievi Sangallo technical institute.
