SGUARDI Live

SGUARDI Live: Summer performances in Rivoli

SGUARDI Live is the summer festival of live performances that, in the heart of June, lights up Giacomo Salvemini Park in Rivoli, a city on the western outskirts of Turin, in Piedmont. For an entire week, the green space at Corso Susa 128 turns into an open-air stage, with a program blending music, comedy, social theater, and cultural outreach. The event is conceived and promoted by the City of Rivoli together with TurismOvest, in collaboration with numerous local organizations.

An eclectic lineup for every audience

The hallmark of the festival is its variety: in just a few days, the program shifts from great singer-songwriter music to stand-up comedy, from narrative theater to the "2.0" style of popular science that has captivated social media audiences. It is a formula designed to capture diverse tastes and offer families and young people in the Turin metropolitan area an accessible summer event, without having to travel to large arenas.

The 2026 edition

The second edition takes place from June 13 to 19, 2026, and features a top-tier lineup. It kicks off on Saturday, June 13, with Francesco Paolantoni accompanied by the Saverio Mercadante Orchestra, followed by comedian and podcaster Luca Bizzarri, journalist Francesco Costa (deputy editor of Il Post), and playwright Stefano Massini with his reflection on the search for happiness. There is also space for music with the piano performance of Gabriele Rossi in a free-entry evening, as well as concerts by Ditonellapiaga and Dargen D'Amico, who brings one of his only summer dates in Piedmont to Rivoli.

Where and when

All events are held at Giacomo Salvemini Park, at Corso Susa 128 in Rivoli. The performance area opens every evening at 8:30 PM, and shows begin at 9:30 PM. A bar and food court are available on-site, allowing guests to enjoy the evenings in the convivial and relaxed atmosphere typical of a Piedmontese summer.

A landmark for the local area

Born in 2025, SGUARDI Live quickly established itself as one of the premier summer events in the western Turin area, successfully combining well-known names of Italian entertainment with a commitment to enhancing the city's public spaces. Rivoli, already famous for its castle and the Museum of Contemporary Art, thus adds to its cultural offerings a festival that makes the urban park the heart of the city's summer life.
