About Suoni Controvento Norcia

The Norcia leg of Suoni Controvento, a zero-impact travelling festival that every summer brings music, theatre, and literature to the villages and landscapes of Umbria. In Norcia, the stage is natural: the Castelluccio pass, at the Scentinelle, where concerts blend with the Sibillini Mountains horizon. An intimate, high-altitude event, far from conventional stages.

Suoni Controvento in Norcia

Suoni Controvento is the zero-impact travelling festival that every summer transforms Umbria into an open-air stage, weaving music, theatre, and literature among historic villages and natural sites. Among the over twenty locations involved is also Norcia, in the province of Perugia, the heart of the Valnerina.

The Scentinelle stage

The Norcia leg features one of the most evocative stages of the entire festival: the Castelluccio pass, at the Scentinelle, on the plateau overlooking the Pian Grande and the Sibillini Mountains. Here, concerts become an experience in contact with nature, reachable after a short climb, with music filling the mountain air at sunset.

A sustainable festival

Suoni Controvento has made sustainability its hallmark: ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management, CO2 emission reduction, circular economy, and attention to the local territory. More than just a concert lineup, it's an invitation to discover authentic Umbria by walking, listening, and respecting the places.

Suoni Controvento Norcia — edition 2026
