Musica in Villa

A music festival in the heart of Borgomanero

Every summer, the courtyard of Villa Marazza, home to the foundation of the same name at Viale Marazza 5, transforms into an open-air stage for Musica in Villa, the festival that accompanies the summer evenings of Borgomanero, in the heart of the Cusio area and the province of Novara, in Piedmont. From June 6th to July 22nd, 2026, the villa opens its spaces to a musical journey that ranges from classical sounds to other artistic and cultural experiences, in an intimate and cozy atmosphere within the historic walls of the building.

Free concerts at Villa Marazza

The program alternates evenings dedicated to chamber music and the great classical tradition with events exploring different languages and genres, from jazz to singer-songwriter performances. The concerts take place in the villa's courtyard, an elegant and intimate setting that enhances live listening, and are designed as moments of encounter and culture open to the entire community. Admission is free, a choice that has always characterized the festival and makes it a popular and highly anticipated event of the Borgomanero summer.

A shared cultural project

Musica in Villa was born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Borgomanero, through its Department of Culture, and the Fondazione Achille Marazza, with the support of the Urban Trade District and the Pro Loco of Borgomanero. The festival is part of a broader calendar of summer events that enliven the city center between June and July, with the aim of enhancing the city's historical heritage and offering opportunities for meeting, culture, and leisure throughout the summer season.

Villa Marazza, a treasure chest of culture

Home to the Fondazione Achille Marazza, the villa houses a prestigious library and a rich cultural heritage, representing one of the symbolic places of Borgomanero's cultural life. The summer music festival is one of the best opportunities to discover its spaces and experience its atmosphere.
