Periferica Festival

Periferica 2025 — A Look Beyond Borders

The second edition of Periferica chose to root itself in a single location, the Gabriella Ferri Cultural Centre in Rome's Fourth Municipality, for a month of free live music. The theme "A Look Beyond Borders" guided a programme that brought different genres and traditions into dialogue.

• 24 October — "Rome / New Orleans – Round Trip" by and with Max Paiella, exploring Roman folk and Mississippi blues;
• 7 November — "Mothers of Europe", written and performed by Alessandra Evangelisti with music by Serena Sansoni;
• 14 November — "Mediterranean Sounds" with Stefano Saletti, Barbara Eramo, and the Baobab Ensemble;
• 28 November — "Gez Cleb – Roma Caput Jazz" with Jonis Bascir and the guitar of Fabio Zeppetella.

Alongside the evening concerts, "Radio Periferica" offered interactive concerts for children and a series of morning workshops on percussion, creative music, and writing for children and teenagers. The initiative, carried out with the support of the Fourth Municipality, confirmed the festival's vocation as a cultural hub for the Roman suburbs.
