Musicae Amoeni Loci – Festival di Musica Antica e Corale

Musicae Amoeni Loci 2025 — XXII Edition

The XXII edition of the festival was held from June 29 to August 24, 2025, with a concluding concert on October 26, featuring 12 events of ancient and choral music in Pesaro, Candelara, Gradara, Mombaroccio, Terre Roveresche, Monteciccardo, and Sant'Angelo in Lizzola.

The program intertwined music, dance, and words to rediscover the beauty and historical figures of the territory. Among the most evocative moments were the dawn concerts at Monte Santa Marta in Monteciccardo and the Olive Garden in Gradara.
