Ceva and Mondovì Concert Band Performance

An open-air concert at the foot of the Castle

The Ceva and Mondovì Concert Band Performance is one of the most anticipated summer events in Mombasiglio, a charming village in the Monregalese area of the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont. The evening takes place in the evocative gardens of Mombasiglio Castle, the historic fortress that overlooks the town and houses the renowned General Bonaparte Napoleonic Museum, dedicated to Napoleon's first Italian campaign of 1796.

Two bands, one great tradition

The event brings together two historic local ensembles on the same stage: the Ceva Concert Band and the Mondovì Concert Band. Launched in 2025 as the first historic joint performance, the concert immediately became a major draw for the public, leading to its return following the success of the debut edition.

Under the guidance of conductors Maurizio Caldera, Alessio Mollo, and Marco Palamarucci, the bands perform an engaging repertoire of marches, folk melodies, and arrangements that highlight the Italian band tradition and its deep connection to the Piedmontese territory.

A unique historical setting

The concert is part of the rich seasonal program organized by the Mombasiglio Castle Foundation, which brings the manor to life from March to October with guided tours, historical lectures, and cultural activities. The musical evening traditionally serves as a highlight of the local patronal feast, offering residents and visitors a festive occasion in one of the most characteristic locations of the Langhe and Monregalese regions.
