The great names of Italian singer-songwriters in Diano Marina
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.
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.
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.
For the summer of 2026, the Incontri ravvicinati coi cantautori festival offers five evenings at the Molo delle Tartarughe in Diano Marina, from June to September. The lineup brings together beloved interpreters of Italian singer-songwriting and light music.
It kicks off on June 26th with Rita Pavone and concludes on September 9th with Fabio Concato, with Tosca, Alberto Fortis, and Luca Barbarossa in between. The program with times and access details is available on the Diano Marina tourism website.
Diano Marina is reachable from the Imperia Est exit of the A10 motorway and from the train station on the Genoa-Ventimiglia line. The Molo delle Tartarughe is on the seafront, near the center.
Some concerts may be free admission, others paid. Information and procedures on the Diano Marina tourism website.
