Su-sultò Festival

Su-sultò, the festival that lets imagination take flight in Scandicci

In the heart of summer, Parco di San Giusto in Scandicci, within the Metropolitan City of Florence (Tuscany), becomes an open-air stage for Su-sultò Festival, a children's theatre series curated by the Limpar Association. It is an event designed for families, where performances come to life from the most beautiful world a writer ever imagined: the imagination of Gianni Rodari.

Rodari's fairy tales under the stars

The festival focuses on the fairy tales of Gianni Rodari, brought to the stage with the sensitivity of theatre for new generations. The shows are aimed at an audience "aged 0 to 99": an invitation to reflect and soar with the imagination, but also to have fun, run, play, and enjoy the park. The greenery of Parco di San Giusto, in the Bagnese area, provides a natural backdrop for a program that combines the magic of theatrical storytelling with the pleasure of spending time outdoors as a family.

A metropolitan project

Su-sultò is more than just a local event in Scandicci: it is a metropolitan project that involves the municipalities of the Metropolitan City of Florence, bringing children's theatre to various territories. Thanks to the synergies between these metropolitan municipalities, the festival's performances are free of charge, aiming to spread culture and ensure accessibility for all families.

Part of Scandicci Open City

In Scandicci, Su-sultò is part of the broader Scandicci Open City program, the municipal summer festival that enlivens the city from June to September with over 130 events, including music, theatre, cinema, dance, performances, art, and gatherings spread across all neighborhoods. Within this rich program, Su-sultò stands out as one of the highlights dedicated to younger audiences.

A summer to be enjoyed outdoors

Amidst the flowerbeds and lawns of Parco di San Giusto, Su-sultò's evenings offer children their first exciting encounter with live theatre, and adults the chance to rediscover the poetry and irony of Rodari. It is a simple yet precious experience, capable of transforming a summer evening in Scandicci into a small journey into the world of imagination.
