The new summer music festival in the squares of San Piero in Campo, on the Island of Elba
In the heart of the Island of Elba, perched on the lower slopes of Monte Capanne, the village of San Piero in Campo welcomes its brand-new music festival in 2026: Stravaganti Alterazioni. Part of the "2026 Summer Events – San Piero in Campo" program, the festival is designed to bring original sounds and musical narratives directly among the stone houses and small squares of the village, in the municipality of Campo nell'Elba, in the Province of Livorno.
The festival's strength lies in its widespread nature: each event takes place in a different square of the historic center, transforming the entire village into an open-air stage. Venues range from the cozy Piazza Garibaldi to the scenic Piazza della Chiesa, and the panoramic Piazzale San Niccolò and Circolino del Piazzale Belvedere, which offers views over the Elban countryside. All concerts begin in the evening, when the heat fades and the village atmosphere becomes more evocative.
The common thread of Stravaganti Alterazioni is variety: the festival weaves together singer-songwriter music, classical and opera, indie rock, acoustic ensembles, and choirs. Each evening has its own title and identity, showcasing both local artists and national names, such as the band from the Marche region recently highlighted by Italian music critics as one of the year's emerging acts. A sonic journey that changes color from night to night, always with the same care for storytelling and listening.
All events are free of charge, in line with the spirit of San Piero's summer program, which brings residents and tourists together every year through music, culture, and community moments. For those who choose Elba not only for the sea but also for its inland villages, Stravaganti Alterazioni is a precious opportunity to discover the most authentic and intimate side of the island.
San Piero in Campo is one of the most characteristic districts of Campo nell'Elba: winding uphill alleys, local granite, ancient churches, and a view that stretches toward the Gulf of Marina di Campo. Attending a concert in one of its squares means combining the discovery of Elban historical heritage with the pleasure of live music, in a setting that is hard to forget.
The inaugural Stravaganti Alterazioni 2026 festival offers a calendar of concerts spread throughout the village of San Piero in Campo, on the Island of Elba. All events are free and start at 9:30 PM, distributed across the village's historic squares. The program ranges from singer-songwriter music to classical and opera, including indie rock and choral ensembles, featuring both local artists and national acts.
The concerts take place in the squares of the village of San Piero in Campo, a hillside district of the municipality of Campo nell'Elba (Province of Livorno): Piazza Garibaldi, Piazza della Chiesa, Piazzale San Niccolò, and Circolino del Piazzale Belvedere.
The Island of Elba can be reached by ferry from Piombino (to the ports of Portoferraio or Cavo/Rio Marina). From Portoferraio or Marina di Campo, continue by car toward San Piero in Campo along the island's inland roads. In summer, it is advisable to arrive early to find parking near the village.
Shows begin in the evening (usually at 9:30 PM). Entry is free for all events.
The evenings are held outdoors: bring a light jacket for the evening. Take advantage of your visit to explore the village and the surrounding countryside before the concert.
