Toscana Django Festival

The 2025 summer edition of the Toscana Django Festival took place from August 14 to 17 in San Marcello Piteglio (PT), with headquarters at the Pontepetri educational garden and afternoon concerts in the squares of Piteglio, San Marcello, and Pontepetri. The three main evenings, at 9:30 PM, featured the manouche trio of Mozes Rosenberg (August 14), Federico Procopio (August 15), and Daniele Corvasce (August 16), with the closing on August 17 entrusted to the Pistoia-based Riders and their Beatles songs rearranged in a jazz style. Also on stage were Stevland, with his tribute to Stevie Wonder, and the Palermo-born guitarist Francesco Buzzurro; the evenings were introduced by Pistoia artist Elio Capecchi. On August 16, Francesco Martinelli held the customary lecture on Django Reinhardt. The program was completed by basic guitar and singing courses (twelve hours each), masterclasses with the artists, and nightly jam sessions. Artistic direction by Maurizio Geri.
