The great celebration of Italian song in Castelraimondo
The Gianni Ravera Award is one of the most followed musical events in the Marche hinterland. Founded in 2015, the event is held annually in the summer in Castelraimondo, a small municipality in the province of Macerata, in the heart of the Marche region. The evening is dedicated to the memory of Gianni Ravera, the historic organizer of the Sanremo Festival and a talent scout who launched many of the greatest names in Italian song.
The subtitle of the festival, "A Song is Forever", sums up the spirit of the event: a journey into the great tradition of Italian light music, between timeless hits and new proposals. The show, staged at the Municipal Sports Field, combines live performances, entertainment moments, and the presentation of special awards to personalities who have marked the history of song.
The eleventh edition is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, starting at 9:00 PM (ticket office opens at 8:30 PM). The hosting is entrusted to Amadeus, who has already been artistic director and presenter of the Sanremo Festival several times. Among the announced artists are Ditonellapiaga, Orietta Berti, Rettore, Fausto Leali, Fabrizio Moro, Eddie Brock, and the Gipsy Kings by Andrรฉ Reyes, with Maurizio Battista in the comedy segment. The Orchestra Mediterranea, conducted by Maestro Michele Pecora, will accompany the artists. The artistic direction is by Pasquale Mammaro.
The event has seen constant growth: the tenth edition in 2025, hosted by Carlo Conti, attracted nearly 5,000 spectators, confirming the Award as one of the most important musical events in the Marche summer calendar.
Castelraimondo, dominated by the evocative Torre del Cassero, stands along the Potenza valley, in a strategic position between Camerino and the upper Macerata area. The Award evening represents an important opportunity for tourist attraction for the Municipality of Castelraimondo and the entire province of Macerata, capable of bringing a vast audience and top Italian entertainment names to the Marche region.
