JazzAP - Festival Diffuso del Piceno

The fourth edition of JazzAP, from June 7 to July 13, 2025, confirmed the vocation of the widespread festival of the Piceno: fourteen concerts spread across ten municipalities in the province of Ascoli Piceno, including Spinetoli, Monsampolo del Tronto, Acquasanta Terme, Castignano, Force, Monteprandone, Ripatransone, San Benedetto del Tronto, Montegallo, and Ascoli Piceno. The lineup, curated by artistic director Emiliano D'Auria, featured jazz and song stars such as Stefano Bollani, Erik Truffaz, Bassolino, Nino Buonocore, Gaetano Partipilo, Dirotta su Cuba, and Carole Alston. Many events were free admission, while the piano solo concert by Stefano Bollani required a ticket. Alongside the music, the program also offered mountain excursions with alpine guides, reinforcing the festival's connection with the region's landscapes.
