I Cantieri dell'Immaginario

The 2025 edition of the Cantieri dell'Immaginario, the eighth of the festival, was held in L'Aquila from July 4 to August 7 with 38 events including music, theatre, dance, and comedy. The artistic direction was entrusted to Leonardo De Amicis, with the event promoted by the Municipality of L'Aquila in collaboration with local cultural entities.

Among the protagonists of the 2025 edition were Massimo Ranieri, Vincenzo Salemme, Ornella Muti, The Kolors, Simona Molinari, Serena Brancale, and Negrita, along with numerous theatre and variety artists. Performances took place in the historic center—including the Scalinata di San Bernardino—and in some villages of the L'Aquila territory such as Fossa, Lucoli, and Collebrincioni, confirming the widespread and inclusive vocation of the Abruzzo festival.
