Classical music in the scenic Piazza dei Leoni
In the heart of the historic centre of Albenga (Province of Savona) lies one of the most beloved corners by the locals: Piazza dei Leoni, small and intimate, home to three stone lions of Roman origin. It is here that every late August, Concertando tra i Leoni takes place, a classical music festival that takes advantage of the extraordinary acoustics and intimate atmosphere of this place.
The festival offers four evenings of concerts, organised by the Albenga section of the UCAI (Unione Cattolica Artisti Italiani - Catholic Union of Italian Artists) under the artistic direction of Giovanni Sardo. The classical repertoire finds an ideal setting in the medieval square, in a dialogue between music and historical architecture that marks the event.
Included in the summer calendar of the Municipality of Albenga, Concertando tra i Leoni represents the moment dedicated to cultured music in the city's rich programme, alongside the Palio Storico, Albenga d'Autore, and the Albenga Jazz Festival. A proposal that enhances a hidden and precious place in the historic centre of the Riviera di Ponente.
The Concertando tra i Leoni 2026 classical music festival offers four evenings from August 20 to 23 in the charming Piazza dei Leoni, in the historic centre of Albenga. The organisation is handled by the Albenga section of UCAI, with artistic direction by Giovanni Sardo. The intimate setting and acoustics of the medieval square serve as a treasure chest for the classical repertoire concerts.
The detailed programme with the performers and repertoires for each evening will be published by the organisation closer to the event.
