ComBas Live

A festival born from a community's affection

ComBas Live is one of the most cherished events of the summer in Abbadia San Salvatore, a town on Mount Amiata in the province of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. The event takes place every year in Piazza Fratelli Cervi and was born in memory of Leonardo Lorenzoni, known as Leo, a young local man who passed away prematurely in a road accident on June 6, 2022. Since then, Leo's family and friends, gathered in the L'Horto di Leo association, have sought to transform their grief into something living and shared, creating a festival that celebrates his passions: music, sports, nature, and togetherness.

Three days of music and fun

ComBas Live is a multidisciplinary festival that enlivens the square for three consecutive evenings. The program alternates between live concerts, tribute bands dedicated to major Italian and international music icons, late-night DJ sets, acoustic moments, and spaces dedicated to children. Over the years, the stage has hosted tributes to icons such as Michael Jackson, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Jovanotti, and Max Pezzali, as well as bands and duos from the Amiata area.

Beyond music: sports, culture, and solidarity

Alongside the concerts, ComBas Live offers a rich array of initiatives designed to involve the entire community:

• Sports tournaments such as burraco, billiards, and tennis;
• the charity football match, the highlight of Sunday;
• static rallies of sports and vintage cars;
• activities for families and children, walks, and excursions in the surrounding area;
• spaces dedicated to the products of the L'Horto di Leo social garden.

The flavor of the festival

Every evening, the square transforms into a large convivial space thanks to street food and aperitifs, with food stalls offering local specialties. The free admission policy makes ComBas Live a truly popular festival, capable of attracting residents, vacationers, and visitors from all over the Amiata region.

A growing tradition

Now in its early editions, ComBas Live has already become a benchmark for the summer calendar of Abbadia San Salvatore, an integral part of the municipality's event schedule. More than just a simple music festival, it is a way to keep Leo's memory alive and to strengthen the bonds of a community that gathers every June around music and solidarity.
