Ottobrata Monticiana

Ottobrata Monticiana 2025

The 2025 edition was held from October 10 to 12 in the Monti district, with a particularly rich program celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Associazione Rione Monti, commemorated on Friday with a special philatelic cancellation by Poste Italiane. Piazza della Madonna dei Monti served as the main stage for the festival, joined by Piazza della Suburra and the Scalinata degli Ibernesi.

Highlights included: the show "Rugantino - Massimo Mattia canta Roma", "History of Roman Songs" with Sara Modigliani, the 883 Cover Band, Red Five Swing, and the "Fire Games" by Banyan. The event also featured Roman poetry, comedy, free guided tours (from the Middle Ages to Michelangelo, from the Convent of San Bonaventura to the Enrico Fermi Museum), micromosaic workshops, and the drawing of the Monticiana Lottery.
