About Jazz Nights at Casalini Garden

In June, Rovigo's evenings come alive with jazz at the Jazz Nights at Casalini Garden, the festival that brings great Italian and international jazz musicians alongside students and teachers to the evocative garden of the "Francesco Venezze" Conservatory. Dedicated to the memory of trumpeter Marco Tamburini, who passed away in 2015, the festival is an intimate and high-quality event that combines concerts, experimentation, and training in the heart of Polesine.

Jazz in the Conservatory Garden

The Jazz Nights at Casalini Garden are the summer jazz festival of Rovigo, the capital of Polesine in Veneto, hosted in the garden of Palazzo Casalini, home to the "Francesco Venezze" State Conservatory of Music. An intimate and evocative setting, where live music is enjoyed under the stars.

In Memory of Marco Tamburini

The event is dedicated to the memory of Marco Tamburini (1959-2015), a great jazz trumpeter who passed away prematurely and was associated with the Rovigo Conservatory. The "Memorial" that bears his name renews each year the spirit that Tamburini had envisioned: a space for shared expression among established musicians, teachers, and students.

Between Concerts and Training

The festival intertwines concerts by major guests with the involvement of Conservatory students, fostering a dialogue between advanced training and the professional scene. Often in collaboration with the Deltablues festival, the Jazz Nights offer evenings of contemporary jazz that have featured prominent international artists, confirming Rovigo as a small but vibrant capital of jazz in Polesine.
