Gianni Morandi Concert in Massa - C'era un ragazzo Summer 2026

Gianni Morandi returns to perform in Massa

The city of Massa, capital of the Massa-Carrara province in Tuscany, hosts one of the most anticipated events of the Italian musical summer: the Gianni Morandi concert scheduled for Thursday, September 24, 2026, in Piazza degli Aranci. The event is part of the "C'era un ragazzo Summer 2026" tour, a series of twelve open-air dates across Italy between August and October, stopping in the charming city square of Massa, nestled at the foot of the Apuan Alps.

Sixty years of "C'era un ragazzo"

The tour celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of "C'era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones", the 1966 track that became a classic of Italian music and an anthem for an entire generation. Morandi has built a show around this milestone that revisits the greatest hits passed down through generations, from "Fatti mandare dalla mamma" to "In ginocchio da te", alongside his most recent releases.

The setlist and the superband

In addition to his historical hits, the setlist features the new single "Monghidoro", written by Lorenzo Jovanotti and released in April 2026 by Epic Records/Sony Music Italy. Gianni Morandi will be joined on the Piazza degli Aranci stage by a superband conducted by Maestro Luca Colombo, ensuring a live performance meticulously curated in every musical detail.

A concert under the stars in the heart of Massa

Piazza degli Aranci, with its elegant atmosphere and the orange trees that give the square its name, transforms for one night into a grand open-air stage. The concert, starting at 9:00 PM, is organized by Trident Music and stands as one of the few Tuscan stops on the tour, drawing audiences from across the Massa-Carrara province, Versilia, and Lunigiana.

An icon of Italian music

With a career spanning over sixty years, Gianni Morandi remains one of the most beloved and generous artists in the Italian scene, capable of uniting multiple generations with his inexhaustible energy and contagious enthusiasm. The Massa stop is a unique opportunity to experience the history of Italian pop music live in a stunning Tuscan setting.
