About In...canti di Natale
Christmas Music in Municipality XI
In...canti di Natale is a series of Christmas concerts promoted and funded by Municipality XI of Rome, located in the city's southwest quadrant along the Portuense axis. Throughout the Advent and holiday season, the festival brings live music into the parish churches of the municipal districts: Portuense, Marconi, Magliana, Trullo, Corviale, and Ponte Galeria. All events are free of charge and open to everyone.
A Widespread Parish Itinerary
The festival has no single venue; instead, it travels from night to night across the various parishes of the Municipality, transforming them into concert halls. The naves and community spaces of these parishes host choirs, bands, and musical ensembles, offering residents the chance to enjoy high-quality performances close to home, without needing to travel to Rome's city center. This format highlights the importance of local community and the social role of parishes as meeting places.
Local Choirs, Bands, and Ensembles
The program features a diverse range of Christmas-themed repertoires, including sacred music, traditional carols, choral performances, and band concerts. The lineup includes groups deeply rooted in the Roman cultural scene, such as the Banda della Scuola Popolare di Musica di Testaccio and the Cerchi Magici APS association, both of which host several festive evenings.
A Community Event
Born as an initiative of the Municipality, In...canti di Natale has established itself as a staple of the holiday season in Municipality XI, forming part of a broader program of Christmas events that includes markets, shows, and family activities. The festival reflects the municipal administration's commitment to making culture accessible and widespread, bringing quality concerts into local neighborhoods and strengthening the residents' sense of belonging.
Rome and its Municipality XI
Municipality XI spans the southwestern area of Rome, in the Lazio region, encompassing residential and working-class neighborhoods that have developed around the Via Portuense. In...canti di Natale is specifically designed for these districts and their inhabitants, with a calendar concentrated in the weeks leading up to and following Christmas.
In...canti di Natale — edition 2026
At the moment, Rome's Municipality XI has not yet published the schedule for the 2026 edition of In...canti di Natale. In line with previous years, it is reasonable to expect the return of the festival in December, with a series of free concerts hosted in the parish churches of the Portuense, Marconi, Magliana, Trullo, Corviale, and Ponte Galeria districts. The detailed program, including dates, times, and musical performers, will be announced by the municipal administration closer to the holidays.
