Incontr'Arti – Urban Tales and Stories from the World

Incontr'Arti 2025 – 9th edition

The ninth edition of the festival, promoted by Roma Capitale and curated by the Artenova ETS Cultural Association, was held from September 27 to October 16, 2025, with eight free-admission events. Open-air performances took place at Largo Ludovico Quaroni (September 27-28 and October 4-5, 11-12), while indoor meetings were hosted in the theatre of the Renato Villoresi Middle School on Via della Pisana (October 3 and 16).

The lineup, inspired by the theme of urban tales and stories from the world, ranged from tango to classical music, contortionism to swing, and Romanian choral singing to Italian singer-songwriters. Guests included writer Erri De Luca, actor Pietro De Silva, actress Irma Ciaramella, singer-songwriter Sandro Scapicchio, the group Tango Aguante, the companies Teatro Zeta and NATA Teatro, and the street band FanfaRoma, in a festival dedicated to inclusion and socialization in the Roman suburbs.
