The 2025 lineup opens with jazz legend Kenny Barron Trio on July 22, followed by Italian virtuoso Enrico Pieranunzi and his long-time trio on July 23.

On July 24, the spotlight turns to Italian pop-jazz singer Malika Ayane, in her only concert in Tuscany this year. July 25 brings a rare treat: Oscar-winning composer Nicola Piovani presents a concert-storytelling experience that reflects on his collaborations with Fellini, Benigni, and other icons of Italian cinema.

Saturday night (July 26) heats up with Latin Mood, the dynamic project by Javier Girotto and Fabrizio Bosso, mixing traditional Latin rhythms with modern jazz. The grand finale on July 27 features the bold, boundary-pushing Avishai Cohen Quartet, a standout voice in contemporary jazz.
