Ferragosto in Città

An evening for those who stay in the city

Ferragosto in Città is the event with which the Municipality of Saronno, in the province of Varese, livens up the evening of August 15th. While Lombardy empties out towards the sea and mountains, the city chooses not to go quiet and offers an evening of live music and shows in the heart of the center, free and open to all.

The garden of Villa Gianetti

The setting is the garden of Villa Gianetti, a historic residence now home to exhibitions and cultural events, which becomes an open-air stage in summer. It is the same space that hosts the city's summer review Estate Divina, and for Ferragosto it transforms into the evening's meeting point, with the audience seated in the greenery under the stars.

Live music and shows

The evening, which generally starts at 9 PM, revolves around live music and shows, with an offering designed for a broad and family audience. It's not a concert by a big name, but a town festival in an urban version: an opportunity to gather in the center, listen to good music, and toast to the hottest night of Saronno's summer.

Saronno and diffused summer

Ferragosto in Città is part of the rich calendar of Saronno Estate, made up of concerts, open-air cinema, and festivals that have enlivened squares, parks, and courtyards of the city since June. It confirms a precise choice by the municipal administration: to bring culture to the people even on days when the city traditionally stops.
