La Milanesiana a Livigno
Contemporary culture at high altitude
About La Milanesiana
La Milanesiana goes up to Livigno
La Milanesiana is one of the most important Italian cultural festivals, conceived and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi. A travelling festival that intertwines literature, music, cinema, science, art, philosophy, and law, it also stops in Livigno, in the Province of Sondrio, bringing three evenings of great cultural appeal to high altitude, hosted in Plaza Placheda.
A dialogue between the arts
Each edition revolves around a theme, explored through the contributions of writers, artists, musicians, and thinkers. The Livigno evenings alternate monologues, dialogues, concerts, and tributes, in a continuous dialogue between the different languages of contemporary culture. This is the formula that has made La Milanesiana famous, capable of combining depth and accessibility.
Culture among the mountains
Bringing a festival of this level to Livigno means offering the location and its guests a rare opportunity to encounter leading voices on the national and international cultural scene. In an exceptional alpine setting, culture becomes a shared experience, accessible to all thanks to free admission upon reservation.
