Ricette e Sinfonie (Scavalcamontagne)

The walking artists arrive in Moretta

On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM, Piazza Europa in Moretta—a town in the province of Cuneooneo, Piedmont—will host a special evening presented by the Compagnia Scavalcamontagne. The performance is "Ricette e Sinfonie", one of the company's most beloved shows, featured as part of their national travelling tour, "In Cammino 2026". The newly renovated Piazza Europa, with its tiered seating forming a natural amphitheatre nestled in greenery, provides the perfect setting for open-air theatre.

Who are the Scavalcamontagne?

The Scavalcamontagne project was born in 2020 from the vision of a group of professional musical theatre artists who chose to take culture out of traditional theatres, reaching small villages and town squares on foot with backpacks in tow. The actors hike along hill and mountain trails during the day, performing in the evening in the towns they pass through: a slow, ancient way of reconnecting art with smaller communities, even reaching high-altitude mountain huts. The tour is produced by Torino Open Lab and Teatro della Caduta, with support from organizations such as the Associazione Le Terre dei Savoia, Fondazione CRT, and Fondazione CRC.

The show "Ricette e Sinfonie"

"Ricette e Sinfonie" is a theatrical and musical performance loosely based on "The Immoral Recipes" by writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. It is a fun and slightly spicy interpretation of the relationship between food and eros, told through warm piano notes, beautiful opera arias, and songs from a bygone era. The result is a true pairing of food and art, where the audience is invited to enjoy the show through all their senses, blending words, music, and gastronomic suggestions. The cast features actors, singers, and musicians from the musical theatre world.

A stop in the Terre dei Savoia

The Moretta evening, along with other dates in the Cuneo and Turin areas, marks the opening of the 2026 tour, which began in the so-called "Terre dei Savoia" (Lands of the Savoy). For the local public, it is a chance to experience high-quality theatre in an evocative outdoor setting without having to travel to the big cities. The event is promoted in collaboration with the Municipality of Moretta and is part of the territorial development project of the Terre dei Savoia.
