About Incontri coi cantautori

Close Encounters with Singer-Songwriters is the festival that brings the most important voices of Italian singer-songwriting to Diano Marina. From June to September, on the stage of the Molo delle Tartarughe overlooking the sea, historic and beloved interpreters of national songwriting alternate, in evenings that combine music, words, and memory. A quality event of the summer on the Riviera dei Fiori, in the province of Imperia, where Italian song meets the public in an intimate and evocative setting.

Songwriting by the Sea

Incontri ravvicinati coi cantautori is the festival that during the summer brings together in Diano Marina, on the Riviera dei Fiori in the province of Imperia, some of the most representative names in Italian singer-songwriting. The concerts are held at the Molo delle Tartarughe, the stage on the seafront that hosts major city events.

Voices and Stories

The common thread of the festival is singer-songwriting: artists who have marked the history of Italian light music and who present their repertoires to the public in an intimate style, featuring well-known songs, stories, and moments of dialogue. The evenings thus become not just concerts, but real encounters between artists and spectators.

A Summer of Music in Diano Marina

The festival runs throughout the beautiful season, from June to September, and complements the other events in the busy Dianese summer calendar, from Estate Musicale Dianese to Diano Comic Show. For those spending their holidays on the Imperia coast, it's an opportunity to hear live the voices that have accompanied generations of Italians, with the sea as a backdrop.
