Soul's House Convivio
Literature, music, and visual arts in the hills of Rocca d'Arazzo
About Soul's House Convivio
A day of culture in the Piedmontese hills
The Soul's House Convivio is a cultural event that brings the Santa Caterina hamlet in the municipality of Rocca d'Arazzo (Asti province) to life, nestled within the rolling landscape of the Asti Monferrato. The event is promoted by the Soul's House association, an organization founded by lawyer Massimo Carlo Capirossi that has been active in the Italian cultural scene for nearly ten years. Its gatherings, known as "Convivi," are designed as immersive experiences capable of uniting literature, visual arts, and music into a single day of meetings and performances.
A formula that unites the arts
At the heart of the initiative is the presence of numerous high-profile authors, poets, intellectuals, and artists who take turns in readings, book presentations, and live performances. Alongside the words of writers and poets, there is space for visual and performing arts, with installations and moments of ephemeral art, as well as music played on exceptional instruments. The stated goal is to create a direct dialogue between artists and the public in a convivial, welcoming atmosphere far removed from the traditional formats of cultural events.
Two venues in the village
The event takes place across two nearby locations in the Santa Caterina hamlet: the Borgo Partiquilar of master Davide Passarino, where the afternoon begins, and the Soul's House Residence, which hosts the second part of the day until late at night. The day unfolds from the early afternoon until midnight, punctuated by readings, dialogues, musical performances, and artistic moments.
A cultural landmark in the Asti area
With its numerous editions, the Soul's House Convivio has become a highly anticipated event for culture enthusiasts in the Asti region and Piedmont. The backdrop of the Asti hills—a land of wine and tradition—frames a program that celebrates the meeting of different artistic disciplines and the pleasure of sharing. It is an opportunity to discover a refined corner of the Monferrato and immerse yourself in a day entirely dedicated to beauty and creativity.
