The great summer concerts in the courtyard of the Sforza Castle
About Vigevano in Castello
Concerts by stars in the Castle courtyard
Every summer, the courtyard of the Sforza Castle of Vigevano transforms into one of the most evocative open-air arenas in the province of Pavia. The Vigevano in Castello series brings major Italian music and live entertainment artists under the Visconti walls, taking advantage of the acoustics and atmosphere of the Renaissance courtyard, which serves as a natural backdrop for the stage.
A top-class lineup
The 2026 edition features a program ranging from pop to singer-songwriter music, from narrative theatre to comedy. Among the announced events: Il Volo with their World Tour, Giorgia, Noemi, Fiorella Mannoia with an homage to Fabrizio De André and Ivano Fossati, Pooh, Claudio Baglioni with "La vita è adesso", and Riccardo Cocciante. The calendar is completed by narrative theatre evenings with Federico Buffa and comedy shows by Federico Basso and Enrico Brignano.
Who organizes
The series is promoted by the Municipality of Vigevano together with You Servizi and the Audere group, and is part of the wider Vigevano Estate program. Tickets for paid concerts are available on official pre-sale circuits. For those visiting Lomellina, it's an opportunity to combine a great concert with the discovery of the famous Piazza Ducale and the historic center of Vigevano.
