Solstizio d'Estate — Art & Music Festival

A widespread festival in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana

The Solstizio d'Estate — Art & Music Festival is one of the most deeply rooted and long-standing cultural events in Trentino-Alto Adige. Born in 1992 and organized by the volunteer association Gruppo Arte Mezzocorona, the festival transforms the Piana Rotaliana Königsberg into a grand open-air stage every June. The heart of the event is the Municipality of Mezzocorona (Province of Trento), where the main shows take place in the evocative Corte di Palazzo Martini, though the festival also involves the nearby villages of Mezzolombardo, San Michele all'Adige, Roveré della Luna, Faedo, and Lavis.

Theatre, music, and performing arts

Solstizio d'Estate is not just a season of shows: it is a widespread cultural project that intertwines prose theatre, comedy, live music, dance, and itinerant performances. Courtyards, historic gardens, parks, wineries, and even forests become natural stage sets, inviting the public to rediscover the territory through art. Each edition revolves around a theme that engages with current events and the community, offering a fresh perspective on the present.

Over thirty years of history

With over three decades of activity, the festival has become a reference point for the Trentino public and artists of the contemporary Italian scene. The event complements evening shows with guided tours, tastings of local products, and itineraries through the palaces, museums, and wineries of the Rotaliana, a land famous for its Teroldego wine. This deep bond between live performance, viticultural landscape, and local identity makes Solstizio d'Estate a unique cultural experience in the Trentino-Alto Adige panorama.
