SeicentoNovecento Festival

The twenty-seventh edition of the SeicentoNovecento Festival, directed by Stefania Di Giuseppe, brought some of the most evocative evenings of the summer of 2025 to Scanno. On August 3rd, at the former Anime Sante Auditorium, a concert-show featuring a narrator, actors, and instruments of the Abruzzese pastoral tradition presented music by Padre Settimio Zimarino and anonymous pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries. On August 30th, in the Church of Sant'Eustachio, organist Luca Scandali performed works by Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti. The festival, travelling between the villages and cities of Abruzzo, confirmed its vocation to combine early music, author rediscoveries, and the enhancement of historical sites.
