Piccoli Mondi

A street festival in the heart of the Susa Valley

Part of the vibrant summer calendar of the Municipality of Susa, Piccoli Mondi is a traveling festival dedicated to street performers that marks the end of the city's summer season. For an entire weekend in September, the historic streets and the evocative spaces of the Castello di Adelaide become a grand open-air theater, where performances move from one square to another, engaging both residents and visitors.

What to expect

The festival follows the classic street art format: short, roving performances that unfold along a set route, with no barriers between artists and the audience. Common features of this type of event include:

• juggling, balancing, and acrobatic shows;
• street theater, mime, and clowning;
• roving music and small live ensembles;
• entertainment and workshops designed for children.

Susa and the Castello di Adelaide

The festival takes place in one of the city's most iconic landmarks: the Castello di Adelaide, an ancient residence that overlooks Susa and tells the story of the March of Turin and Countess Adelaide. Setting the performances amidst the medieval streets and the castle grounds adds a unique charm to an event that blends popular entertainment with historical heritage.

An event for the whole family

Piccoli Mondi is designed primarily for families and children: the universal language of street art, filled with wonder, humor, and amazement, makes it accessible to everyone. It takes place in Susa, in the province of Turin, in the heart of the Susa Valley—one of the regions in Piedmont richest in history and tradition—easily accessible from Turin and the Alpine passes leading to France.

When and where

The 2026 edition is scheduled from September 11th to 13th in the city streets and at the Castello di Adelaide. The detailed program, including the list of artists and show times, will be announced by the municipal administration in the weeks leading up to the event.
