Theatre, music, and Monferrato wines at the Belvedere Motta
In the summer of 2026, the touring festival Monferrato On Stage, now in its eleventh edition, makes its debut in Albugnano, a small town in the province of Asti overlooking the Monferrato hills. The evening takes place at the Belvedere Motta, one of the most scenic viewpoints in the area, offering sweeping views of the vineyards and, on clear days, the Alps.
Founded in 2016 by the Fondazione MOS ETS, the festival brings entertainment, music, and wine culture to the villages of the provinces of Turin, Asti, and Alessandria every year: a virtuous example of local synergy that makes the Monferrato region the true star of the stage.
The heart of the evening is the theatrical monologue by Chiara Buratti, inspired by Nina Simone's "Four Women" and reimagined for the Monferrato territory. The performance blends theatre, live electronics, and sensory experiences in a continuous dialogue between the spoken word and a glass of wine. Four female figures, four Monferrato wines: an immersive story designed specifically for this landscape.
Before and after the show, the food & beverage area features Monferrato wines, supported by the Regional Enoteca of Albugnano and the Consortium of Barbera d'Asti and Monferrato Wines. The "Banchetto & libagioni" gastronomic selection is curated by Monferrato Rural Food, while the cocktail bar is managed by the Distilleria Bosso. The evening is accompanied by the photo exhibition "Pictures of You — On the Road," a tribute to the world of music.
Admission to the show is free, staying true to the festival's philosophy: bringing the public closer to the culture and excellence of the territory without barriers. The Albugnano stop is organized in collaboration with the Municipality of Albugnano, the Regional Enoteca, and Monferrato Rural Food, with the support of the Piedmont Region.
The very first stop of Monferrato On Stage in Albugnano takes place on August 28, 2026 at the Belvedere Motta (the date initially set for June 6 was postponed for technical and organizational reasons). An evening that combines theatre, live electronic music, and food and wine tastings.
Albugnano (AT) can be reached by car from the A21 motorway (Asti exit) or from the Turin hills via Castelnuovo Don Bosco. The Belvedere Motta is located just outside the town centre; travelling by car is recommended, with parking available nearby.
Food & beverage area and photo exhibition from 7:00 PM; show starts at 9:30 PM.
Free. We recommend arriving early for the tasting and dinner.
