About Estate in Villa
A summer of culture at Villa de Brandis
Estate in Villa is the cultural review of San Giovanni al Natisone, a municipality in the province of Udine known as the chair district. For thirty years, the event has transformed the park of Villa de Brandis, a splendid historic residence with its garden, into an open-air stage for summer evenings in eastern Friuli.
Music, words, and ideas
The program is rich and varied: concerts ranging from jazz to classical music to tributes to the great names of Italian song; meetings with writers, communicators, and cultural personalities; talks on current issues, from artificial intelligence to education, from the history of food to the great issues of the present. A lineup that combines entertainment and reflection.
From May to August
The review takes place throughout the summer, from May to August, with events scheduled from late afternoon to evening. The setting of Villa de Brandis, with its park and spaces, gives the evenings an elegant and intimate atmosphere, perfect for listening to music and words under the stars.
A community event
Organized by the Municipal Administration of San Giovanni al Natisone with the support of sponsors and the collaboration of local associations, Estate in Villa also involves young people from the area and, in parallel, offers activities for children with "Estate Ragazzi" (Summer Kids). A rooted cultural project that, thirty years after its inception, continues to be a point of reference for the public in eastern Friuli.
Estate in Villa — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Estate in Villa marks the thirtieth anniversary of the review and offers a diverse program from May to August at Villa de Brandis. Between music, words, and ideas, the program brings together major tributes, jazz, classical music, literary meetings, and current affairs talks.
