Experimenta
The musical evenings of Villa Graziani featuring jazz, progressive, and world music
About Experimenta
Avant-garde Music at Villa Graziani
Experimenta is a music festival held in San Giustino, in the province of Perugia, within the evocative setting of Villa Graziani. Artistically directed by Marco Sarti in collaboration with the Municipal Culture Department, it offers a refined and curious program, far from the mainstream commercial circuits.
A Journey Through Genres
The festival's distinctive feature is its multiculturalism: the lineup alternates modern jazz, English progressive, swing, bossa nova, French chanson, classical guitar, and electronic explorations. Each evening is a concert-event that dialogues between different musical languages, featuring ensembles and projects often less visible in more traditional summer programs.
Music, Culture, and Umbrian Conviviality
Experimenta is not just about music: the evenings combine concerts with the discovery of Umbrian food and wine traditions and the beauty of the location, in an atmosphere of meeting and conviviality. The festival has become a benchmark event for the cultural summer in the Upper Tiber Valley, capable of bringing quality artists and projects to San Giustino.
