Jazz:Re:Found Festival
Four days of jazz, electronic, and black music in the heart of Monferrato
About Jazz:Re:Found
The festival rediscovering jazz in Monferrato
Jazz:Re:Found is one of Piedmont's most unique music festivals. Since 2009, it has brought to Cella Monte—a village of just a few hundred residents in the province of Alessandria—a lineup that weaves together jazz, electronic, soul, funk, and black music in all their diverse forms. The name says it all: re:found, to rediscover jazz while expanding its boundaries toward the sonic languages of the present.
The setting is the Monferrato hills, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside the Langhe and Roero regions. Historic wine cellars, courtyards, squares, and open-air spaces throughout Cella Monte become scattered stages where, for four days, music captivates visitors from all over Italy and abroad.
A multidisciplinary program
Jazz:Re:Found is more than just a concert lineup. Alongside live performances and DJ sets, the festival offers side experiences that make it a true summer retreat:
- Concerts and DJ sets from the afternoon until late at night, featuring Italian and international artists
- Art installations and visual projects designed specifically for the village
- Food and wine tastings featuring products from Monferrato, a land of great wines
- Workshops, yoga, cinema, and rafting to enjoy the festival during the day
- Camping, glamping, and van areas to stay immersed in the festival atmosphere
A world-class curatorial scene
The strength of Jazz:Re:Found lies in its ability to anticipate trends. Over the years, the festival has hosted some of the most important names from the new London jazz scene, global electronic music, and black music, alongside the most sought-after DJs and selectors. This bold programming has made this Monferrato event a benchmark for contemporary music lovers, reaching far beyond the borders of Piedmont.
Organized by the Casanoego Cultural Association, the festival has established itself as a model for the cultural regeneration of a small territory through music, attracting thousands of spectators to a village that, out of season, counts only a few hundred residents.
