Val Tidone Festival in Montalbo of Ziano Piacentino

The Val Tidone Festival in Ziano Piacentino

The Val Tidone Festival is the historic international music review promoted by the Fondazione Val Tidone Musica which, every summer, transforms the villages, castles, and squares of Val Tidone and Val Luretta into open-air stages. The festival is spread throughout the territory and involves the Municipalities of the valley along with the provincial capital, Piacenza: among the locations touched by the review is also Ziano Piacentino, a small wine-producing Municipality in the Piacenza area known for its hills and for the production of Gutturnio and Malvasia wines.

The Montalbo Stop

For the 2026 edition, the Ziano concert is held in Montalbo area, one of the hamlets of the Municipality, in an intimate setting surrounded by the hilly countryside. The format is typical of the festival: quality music in a local setting, with free admission subject to availability and no booking required. It is an evening designed to combine the discovery of the valley's landscape with the pleasure of live listening.

A Widespread Festival in the Province of Piacenza

The Val Tidone Festival is part of the broader project of the Val Tidone International Music Events, which also includes the renowned International Music Competitions. Every year, the summer review features numerous events, alternating major names in Italian music with young talents and jazz ensembles, in a program that ranges from classical repertoire to singer-songwriter music, from jazz to pop. The Ziano Piacentino stop, in Emilia-Romagna, is part of this mosaic of concerts that accompany the valley's summer from June to October.

Between Music and Territory

The festival's strength lies in its deep connection with its locations: each concert is also an invitation to discover a village, a castle, or a corner of the Piacenza countryside. In Ziano, a land of wine and vineyards, music thus becomes an opportunity to experience a different summer evening, focused on artistic quality and the hospitality of the territory.
