About Orta Fuori
A street festival in the heart of the Atella area
Orta Fuori is the festival that has brought music, sports, and popular culture to the squares of Orta di Atella, a town in the province of Caserta, Campania. The heart of the event is Piazza Principessa di Belmonte, the space locals affectionately call 'La Teglia', along with the liturgical area of the Convent of the Friars Minor on Via San Salvatore: two locations that transform into a stage, a sports field, and an open-air lounge for three days.
The origins of Orta Fuori
The idea comes from the Artenova association, which developed the project together with TerrAntica and Asd Cantera Ortese, under the patronage of the Municipality of Orta di Atella. The organizers' stated goal is to combat the socio-cultural desertification that has affected this populous Atellano town in recent years, restoring opportunities for community gathering. Hence the chosen formula: events dedicated to sports, health awareness, and nature, combined with a dynamic vision of culture where the street becomes the natural setting for entertainment.
The first edition: October 2023
The inaugural edition took place from October 6th to 8th, 2023, featuring three days of free admission. On the opening Friday at 7 PM, the authorities' welcome gave way to the voice of Ludovico Pisano and the choreography of the Tiziana Dance school, followed by the folk and ethnic music of Scialacore and Ra di Spina. The main day was dedicated to street basketball in the late afternoon, dance school performances, and the cabaret of Lello Musella, a familiar face from 'Made in Sud', followed by rap and soul sounds. Sunday, opened by morning sports activities, closed with the electronic music of Luk's and the rock-ska concert of Bisca, a historic Neapolitan band.
The second edition: June 2024
In 2024, the event moved to the beginning of summer: from June 14th to 16th, Orta Fuori returned to the same spaces, between the liturgical area of the convent on Via San Salvatore and Piazza Principessa di Belmonte, with three days of culture, sports, and entertainment. The change of season allowed for longer evenings outdoors and provided even more space for live music, markets, and activities for children.
What you will find in the square
- Concerts and folk music: bands from Campania, world music, rock, and ethnic sounds until late at night.
- Dance and street performers: performances by local schools and roving acts among the crowd.
- Sports for everyone: street basketball, volleyball, and activities organized by local sports associations.
- Street food and markets: food stalls, local products, handicrafts, and flea markets.
- Workshops for children: games, entertainment, and creative activities related to books, drawing, and photography.
- Health awareness and solidarity: health screening initiatives and the presence of the AVIS blood donation mobile unit.
Orta di Atella, between Naples and Caserta
Orta di Atella is located in the Atella area, a few kilometers from the border with the Metropolitan City of Naples, in a territory that owes its name to the ancient Oscan city of Atella, home of the fabulae atellanae, the popular farces that are at the origin of Latin comic theater. This is no minor detail: an event that brings entertainment back to the street, mixing music and comedy, fits into an ancient local tradition. The town also preserves the Franciscan convent linked to the figure of Saint Salvatore of Horta, which gives its name to the street overlooking the event area, now one of the few open spaces for gathering in the town.
