E...state a Rolo

Summer Thursday evenings in Rolo

E...state a Rolo is the series of summer events that enlivens the Municipality of Rolo, a small town in the Bassa reggiana region of the Province of Reggio Emilia, bordering Mantua and Modena. Organized by the Roloinfesta OdV Association, the event transforms the Arena of Palazzo Davolio into an open-air stage for the entire month of June: every Thursday evening, the town center fills with music, people, and the carefree conviviality that is the hallmark of Emilian summer festivals.

A weekly event in the heart of the town

The rhythm of the series is set by the Thursdays in June: evenings designed for gathering outdoors, enjoying the cool of the evening, and sharing a moment of celebration in the intimate and evocative setting of the Arena of Palazzo Davolio. It's a simple and tested formula, capable of engaging families, young and old, making Rolo a summer reference point for the surrounding area.

The big concert at the Villa Park

The most anticipated moment of Rolo's summer is the big concert held in the Villa Park, the green space that serves as a natural backdrop for the highlight of the series. Here, the celebration expands, and the atmosphere becomes one of grand occasions, with music as the absolute protagonist under the summer sky of the plains.

Roloinfesta, the soul of the festival

Behind "E...state a Rolo" is the work of the volunteers of Roloinfesta OdV, the association that has been organizing the town's main events for years, from "I Primi di Rolo" to the Fiera di San Simone. The proceeds from the events are reinvested in the association's numerous activities in the area, creating a virtuous cycle that keeps the community of Rolo alive. Participating in a summer evening here also means supporting local volunteerism.
