Musica in Camugliano

A summer festival in the hills of Valdera

Musica in Camugliano is the concert series that brings great music every summer to the small village of Camugliano, in the municipality of Ponsacco, in the province of Pisa. The heart of the event is the Church of San Frediano and its adjacent square, an intimate and evocative setting where music dialogues with local traditions and the rolling hills of the Valdera.

A diverse musical program

The festival is organized by the Amici della Musica Association with the support of the Municipality of Ponsacco. The calendar is designed to offer a journey through different genres and styles: from jazz performed by local ensembles to choral music, and from Italian singer-songwriter classics to international guests. Recurring highlights include the Ponsacco Jazz Orchestra in its various configurations, the Nuvole di Voci choir, and youth orchestras invited from overseas, reflecting a vocation that blends local roots with an international perspective.

Between classical music and popular tradition

One of the most appreciated features of Musica in Camugliano is its ability to bridge diverse styles: alongside jazz concerts and tributes to great Italian music, the program includes choral performances, readings, and pieces inspired by Tuscan folk culture, as well as homages to iconic figures like Pinocchio, who was born in these very Pisan lands. The evenings are often accompanied by social gatherings, offering the chance to dine or enjoy local products.

Camugliano and its surroundings

The village of Camugliano is best known for its imposing Estate and the Medici villa that overlooks the surrounding hills. Attending a concert in this corner of the Valdera means discovering a more authentic and secluded side of the Pisan territory, far from the main tourist circuits. For those visiting Tuscany, Musica in Camugliano is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Ponsacco summer through quality music, hospitality, and village charm.
