The traveling festival of Umbria stops in the medieval village of Montone
Suoni Controvento is a traveling festival of music and performing arts that, since 2017, has enlivened the Umbrian summer by bringing concerts, theater, talks, and trekking to the most beautiful villages and landscapes in the region. Its philosophy is that of 'summer itineraries of sustainable culture', with concrete attention to waste reduction and carbon footprint compensation.
Among the locations touched by the festival is Montone, in the province of Perugia, a splendid medieval village in the Upper Tiber Valley, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. Here, concerts find an exceptional setting in the Rocca di Braccio, linked to the memory of the condottiero Braccio Fortebraccio. It is in this scenario that the festival presents some of its most original and visionary musical projects.
The Montone stop is part of a broader program that unfolds over weeks across different Umbrian towns. For the visitor, it is an opportunity to combine the discovery of a historic village with a quality musical offering, far from the major commercial circuits.
The 2026 edition marks the tenth edition of Suoni Controvento, taking place throughout Umbria from July 16 to September 13. For the Montone stop, the event is on July 24 at Rocca di Braccio.
On stage is drummer, composer, and producer Sarathy Korwar, who blends jazz, electronics, and influences from Indian classical and popular music into a powerful and visionary sound, rejecting any rigid cultural or musical labels.
The Montone stop is part of the 2026 Suoni Controvento lineup (July 16 - September 13), which touches numerous Umbrian locations with concerts, theater, talks, and trekking. Full program at suonicontrovento.it.
