Festival Internazionale delle Arpe

The village where harps are played

Isolabona is a small village in the hinterland of Imperia, in Val Nervia, Liguria. For years it has been linked to a particular and fascinating musical instrument: the harp. Every summer, in fact, the village hosts the International Harp Festival, an event that attracts enthusiasts and curious visitors drawn by the magical sound of this ancient instrument.

In the Doria Castle

The setting for the festival is the evocative Doria Castle, an ancient manor that dominates the village. With its intimate capacity, the castle offers an intimate and suggestive atmosphere for concerts, enhancing the listening experience and creating a special bond between music, place, and audience.

From Baroque to Celtic

The strength of the festival lies in the variety of programmes offered by Italian and foreign harpists: from Baroque music to Celtic, from the classical repertoire to new age, to jazz and ethnic music. A journey through different genres and eras, united by the unmistakable timbre of the harp.

A jewel of the Ligurian hinterland

The Harp Festival has helped to make Isolabona known far beyond regional borders, transforming a small village into a reference point for harp lovers. An opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Imperia hinterland and to experience an extraordinary musical event, in the heart of western Liguria.
