Choral Music Festival (Monte Faito)

Faito and the choirs in 2025

The 2025 season on Monte Faito was marked by the closure of the cable car following the accident in April 2025, with EAV activating a bus connection from Vico Equense to ensure access to the mountain. Despite this, Faito continued to host cultural and naturalistic initiatives promoted by local associations.

On the choral front, on June 1, 2025, the mountain hosted a day of open-air singing along the trails, with a gathering at the Faito plateaus, a walk toward the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo and the Pero clearing, and a final performance in the afternoon: an initiative promoted by choral groups from Campania together with the CAI sections of Castellammare di Stabia and Salerno. A precedent that helps to understand the vocation of this place, where polyphonic singing finds a natural resonance chamber.

The Choral Music Festival as an independent event of the Vico d'Estate calendar appears instead in the official 2026 programming, with dates set from September 17 to 21 on Monte Faito, in the municipality of Vico Equense in the province of Naples.
