Connetto Festival

The 2025 edition, the third of the Connetto Festival, served as a preview to the Piazze d'Armi e di Città festival, which reached its twenty-first edition that year. From May 21 to 25, Poggibonsi and Colle Val d'Elsa hosted concerts, open rehearsals, presentations, exhibitions, and original productions, with a dedicated space for young talent. The festival opened on May 21 at the Teatro Politeama with pianist Rita Marcotulli in her Piano solo performance. Over the following days, Anaïs Drago performed with her Minotauri project, Giovanni Benvenuti with Dedicated To, and the Straight Life Trio with Stefano Cocco Cantini, Ares Tavolazzi, and Andrea Beninati. The artistic direction was, as usual, entrusted to Giulia Galliani and Giovanni Benvenuti.
