In Nomine Matris

The roots of ancient Europe

In Capo di Ponte, in Valle Camonica (province of Brescia), In Nomine Matris has been a celebration of the cultural traditions of ancient Europe since 2018. The festival chooses the Pitoti Park as its stage, a theme park that evokes the "pitoti", the figures carved on the valley's rocks: a place where history, myth, and nature naturally blend.

An immersive festival

In Nomine Matris is not just an event: it's an experience that envelops visitors in atmospheres of bygone eras. The program intertwines various languages:

• Concerts by European artists, DJ sets, and itinerant shows with folk groups blending medieval and fantasy music and evocative dances
• Workshops and conferences on traditional, creative, and spiritual practices, with notable guests
• Artisan market with folklore-inspired creations
• Food stalls with local and international specialties, mead, and craft beers

Between history, magic, and nature

The common thread of the festival is the relationship between humanity and the great forces of ancient European culture: history, magic, folklore, and nature. Each edition delves into a specific theme, explored through music, words, and images. The setting of Valle Camonica, with its millennia-old rock heritage, amplifies this search for roots, making In Nomine Matris one of the most original cultural events in the Camonica calendar.

Who is it for

The festival appeals to history and folklore enthusiasts, lovers of medieval and fantasy music, and those seeking an immersive experience outside the usual circuits. Organized by the Primal Soul Association, In Nomine Matris combines entertainment and cultural enrichment in a weekend that transforms Pitoti Park into a village suspended in time.
