About La Santissima Fest

La Santissima Fest is the festival created by the Genoese rapper SAYF, which every summer brings together the stars of the Italian urban and rap scene at the Arena del Mare in the Old Port. A big home party for one of Genoa's most beloved artists, with a stage overlooking the sea, many surprise guests, and the energy of a young and passionate audience. Part of the Old Port's Summer Show programme, La Santissima Fest has become in just a few years one of the most anticipated events of the Genoese music summer.

SAYF's Home Party

SAYF is one of the most representative names in the rap and urban scene of Genoa. His Santissima Fest was born as a big annual party for his city: a concert-event that brings to the stage, alongside the artist, a long list of guests from the Italian scene, often announced at the last minute to maintain the element of surprise.

A Stage by the Sea

The setting is the spectacular Arena del Mare, on the Molo dei Magazzini del Cotone in the Old Port, one of the most evocative venues for summer concerts in the capital of Liguria. The event is part of the EstateSpettacolo (Summer Show) programme that enlivens the Old Port during the warm months.

Rap, Urban, and Surprise Guests

The festival's strength lies in its ensemble line-up: in past editions, many of the stars of Italian rap and urban music have graced the stage, in a succession of collaborations and collective moments that make each evening unique. It's a format that rewards community, with an audience that experiences the concert as a city celebration.

Genoa, the Urban Capital for an Evening

Growing edition after edition, La Santissima Fest has helped make Genoa a reference point for the urban scene in the North-West, enhancing the bond between SAYF and his city. An event that combines music, identity, and belonging.
