Good Sound Festival

The festival that makes the Romagna hills resonate

The Good Sound Festival is one of the most curious and exciting realities on the independent music scene in Emilia-Romagna. Every summer, it transforms the historic center of Casola Valsenio, a small town in the Province of Ravenna nestled in the Senio valley, into a widespread stage where avant-garde music meets the squares, alleys, and houses of a village in the Faenza Apennines.

A project born from the ground up

The event was born in 2021 from the association Lega del Suono Buono APS, founded by a group of musicians who had created a studio and rehearsal room in Casola with their own savings. From that experience, the idea of a festival capable of bringing professional musicians to the town and making it known externally germinated. As president Stefano Rinaldi Ceroni recounts, the objective is explicit: "to give hope to the hilly periphery" and contribute to the repopulation of an area that is geographically disadvantaged. Around the event, about sixty young volunteers are involved, and since 2024, the Municipality has entrusted the association with a 160-seat multi-purpose hall.

Not just concerts

The program is not limited to live performances and DJ sets: during the two days, the historic center hosts permanent exhibitions, installations, meetings, and vinyl record displays, in an atmosphere that blends a village festival with underground culture. The festival is also eco-sustainable, with reusable cups, a free water dispenser, and compostable tableware.

• Live independent and avant-garde music, with artists from the national scene
• DJ sets and vinyl selections until late at night
• Free camping at Pertini Park, immersed in nature
• Possibility to combine the visit with the Grotta del Re Tiberio, the Giardino delle Erbe officinali (Medicinal Herb Garden), and the area's trekking trails

Casola Valsenio, land of herbs and music

Known as the "town of herbs," Casola Valsenio offers the festival a unique setting: the hills, the medieval village, and a community that rallies around an eagerly awaited event. For those who want to discover a different side of Romagna beyond the coast, the Good Sound Festival is the perfect opportunity to combine good music, nature, and hospitality.
