IncantoMarche – Emma Nolde Concert in Castelleone di Suasa

Music among the stones of a Roman city

There is a place in the countryside of Castelleone di Suasa, in the province of Ancona, where music meets two thousand years of history. It is the Roman Amphitheatre of Suasa, in the Pian Volpello area: a stone ellipse built in the 1st century AD, with a major axis of almost one hundred meters, among the largest in the Marche region, once capable of accommodating up to ten thousand spectators. It is here, in the heart of the Archaeological Park of the Roman city of Suasa, that IncantoMarche presents one of its most evocative concerts.

IncantoMarche: no stages, but landscapes

IncantoMarche is the music festival born from the soul of RisorgiMarche, the initiative conceived in 2016 by actor and musician Neri Marcorè to bring "people, attention, and life" back to the inland areas of the Marche region affected by the earthquake. Its formula is now unmistakable: no stages and no artificial lights, but concerts in the midst of nature, in villages, on meadows, and in places full of meaning like the Suasa amphitheatre. Often, the audience reaches the concerts on foot, because the walk is an integral part of the encounter between music, landscape, and community.

The 2026 edition: ten years of walks

The 2026 edition runs from July 18 to 25 and holds particular significance: it marks the tenth anniversary of the 2016 earthquake that struck the central Apennines. Ten years of music among meadows, mountains, and villages, ten years of encounters and shared walks. The artistic direction remains entrusted to Neri Marcorè. For this edition, it is also possible to participate in guided excursions by reservation, designed to accompany spectators in discovering the places that host the concerts.

Emma Nolde, Saturday, July 18

The stop in Castelleone di Suasa features Emma Nolde, one of the most interesting voices in the new Italian singer-songwriter scene. A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, twice a finalist for the Targa Tenco (Best Debut Work in 2020 and among the candidates for Best Album in 2025), she brings a renewed show to the stage, featuring her most beloved songs from her albums Toccaterra, Dormi, and NUOVOSPAZIOTEMPO, along with previews of new works. The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 6:00 PM, at the Roman Amphitheatre of Suasa.

Attending a concert in this setting means combining the emotion of live music with the discovery of one of the most important archaeological sites in the Marche Region: an experience that, on a summer evening, tells the most authentic identity of the Ancona hinterland.
