Il Bello di Sicilia

A season of entertainment in the heart of the Belìce Valley

Il Bello di Sicilia is a theatre, music, and cabaret festival held at the Cine-Teatro Olimpia "Gregorio Mangiagli" in Campobello di Mazara, a town in the province of Trapani overlooking the Belìce Valley, just a few kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. Created to restore the historic venue to the centre of local cultural life, the festival offers an annual winter season that weaves together drama, concerts, variety, and comedy, with a programme designed for a wide and varied audience.

A nationally acclaimed programme

The strength of the event lies in its ability to bring artists well-known to the general public to a provincial town. Featuring acclaimed plays, musical tributes, and comedy shows, the Cine-Teatro Olimpia welcomes stars of Italian cinema, television, and music, alternating moments of reflection with evenings of pure entertainment. Performances take place on weekends, with events spread throughout the winter and spring seasons.

Organisation and local roots

The festival is promoted by Quintosol Production, under the artistic direction of Piero Di Stefano and Giacomo Maltese, and is supported by the Municipality of Campobello di Mazara and the Libero Consorzio Comunale of Trapani. Over the years, the event has earned the trust of the local public, selling out almost every performance—a testament to the deep bond between the theatre and the Campobello community.

The Cine-Teatro Olimpia

The heart of the festival is the Cine-Teatro Olimpia "Gregorio Mangiagli" on Via Garibaldi, a historic town venue brought back to life by this very season of shows. Its reopening has provided Campobello di Mazara with a reclaimed space of identity, now capable of hosting concerts, plays, and variety shows in a warm and familiar atmosphere.

An event for all of Western Sicily

More than just a theatre season, Il Bello di Sicilia has become a cultural landmark for Western Sicily, attracting spectators from Campobello di Mazara and neighbouring towns in the Trapani area. The festival combines the quality of its line-up with accessible ticket pricing, offering subscription packages and accepting the "Carta del Docente" (Teacher's Card), confirming its status as one of the most vibrant winter offerings in the region.
