Jazz and classical music in the astronomer Cassini's village
Perinaldo, a municipality in the Province of Imperia perched on the hills of western Liguria, is a village with a particular charm: the homeland of astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini, it overlooks a landscape of borderlands between Italy and France. Here, at the end of July, the Perinaldo Festival - Terre di Confine comes to life, a musical event dedicated to jazz and classical music.
The festival offers a week of high-profile concerts in the evocative historic centre of the village, with musicians spanning the languages of jazz and the classical repertoire. Alongside the concerts, masterclasses with international musicians also make Perinaldo a place for training and meeting for young talents. The artistic direction is entrusted to Massimiliano Gilli and Paola Secci.
The setting is that of a stone village immersed in greenery, with views stretching to the sea and mountains. The Perinaldo Festival enhances the link between music and territory, bringing a refined cultural offering to a place far from the major circuits. For those visiting the Riviera dei Fiori in summer, it is an opportunity to combine the discovery of the hinterland with live music.
The 2026 edition of the Perinaldo Festival - Terre di Confine is scheduled from July 26 to August 2 in the historic centre of Perinaldo. The event features concerts spanning jazz and classical music and masterclasses with international musicians, under the artistic direction of Massimiliano Gilli and Paola Secci.
At the time of writing, the detailed programme with dates and artists for individual concerts is being published on the festival's official website.
