From June 2 to August 26, the medieval villages of Val di Cecina, specifically Querceto, Borgo Pignano, Mazzolla, La Sassa and Montecatini Val di Cecina, will be filled with sounds, music, dance steps and performances, thanks to the summer festival organized by Accademia Libera Natura & Cultura.
The Festival is divided into the sections: VinOpera, Querceto International Piano Festival, Festival Vol'Tango and the Ancient Music Festival, featuring Italian and international artists. To these are added some "special" evenings that enrich the program and, for this edition, the artist residency of Ensemble Orfeo Futuro.
Finally, the training courses in sculpture, painting, dance, singing and music that as always complete the offer of this event.
