About Jazz Valley

Jazz Valley is the travelling music festival that brings jazz to the villages of the Val Nervia, in the province of Imperia. The stop in Dolceacqua, in Piazza Mauro, offers an evening of live music in the evocative historic centre of the town, in the shadow of the medieval bridge and the Doria Castle. A free event that combines the great tradition of jazz with the discovery of the villages of the Ligurian hinterland of Ponente, including Dolceacqua, Pigna, Rocchetta Nervina, Camporosso, and Isolabona.

Jazz among the villages of the Val Nervia

Jazz Valley is the travelling music festival that enlivens the villages of the Val Nervia in the province of Imperia during the summer. The project involves several municipalities in the valley - including Dolceacqua, Pigna, Rocchetta Nervina, Camporosso, and Isolabona - bringing quality jazz to charming locations.

The Dolceacqua stop

In Dolceacqua, the concert is held in Piazza Mauro, in the heart of the historic centre. The evening, with free admission, offers live music in a unique setting, among the stone houses of the village and views of the Nervia river. The festival was also created to commemorate figures linked to the musical culture of the area.

Music and territory

Jazz Valley combines music promotion with the enhancement of the hinterland villages: each stop is an opportunity to discover a different village in the valley, far from the mass tourism of the coast. Jazz thus becomes the common thread of an itinerary through nature, history, and tradition.

The Ligurian hinterland in music

For jazz enthusiasts and those who love authentic villages, the Dolceacqua stop of Jazz Valley is a must-see event of the summer in the Ligurian Riviera di Ponente, capable of combining good music and beautiful scenery.
