DINING AL FRESCO IN ROME

Dining Al Fresco in Rome

Rome’s divine weather and picturesque scenery make it an ideal spot to dine al

fresco. Why be cooped up inside when you can bask in the sun or sip Prosecco by

candlelight? Here is our round-up of the city’s best outdoor dining experiences to let

you savor the Roman summer in all its glory.

GARDEN RESTAURANT

Via di San Teodoro, 48 (Palatine)

alpalatinoristorante.it

Step inside Unique al Palatino Garden Restaurant to immerse yourself in a dreamlike

atmosphere: ancient olive trees and citrus trees hidden by the clamor of the city. This

restaurant will be your oasis of peace to taste delicious flavors in a candlelit dinner. Order the

delicate sea bass ravioli with prawns, asparagus tips, and lemon zest or the savory spaghetti

with clams and bottarga.

OSTERIA DELLE COPPELLE

Piazza delle Coppelle, 54/55/56

06.45502826

osteriadellecoppelle

If you’re looking for somewhere authentic

to eat in the historic center (a notoriously

difficult task) this is your restaurant. Coppelle

dishes out Roman classics like rigatoni

alla gricia, saltimbocca alla romana, and

polpette al sugo, but if you’re craving lighter

fare to balance out the summer heat, look

for their tuna tartare with avocado or try

their “cicchetti”, small tastings of different

dishes. People watch at the outdoor tables

overlooking the characteristic Piazza delle

Coppelle.

BAJA

DA TEO

Piazza dei Ponziani, 7 (Trastevere)

06.5818355

Trattoria.da.TEO

This popular trattoria tucked away in a

quieter corner of Trastevere, opens up onto a

quaint little piazza where tables are arranged

underneath a dreamy canopy illuminated

with white lights. Enjoy the classic Roman

primi and secondi dishes like amatriciana,

carbonara, and saltimbocca, and expect

friendly and efficient service.

Lungotevere Arnaldo da Brescia (Popolo)

06.94368869

bajaroma.it

If you are after something on the unconventional side, look

no further than Baja. A boat, a restaurant, and a cocktail

bar all wrapped up in one, Baja literally floats on the Tiber

River, and its sought after location makes for an exotic and

luxurious dinner. Set sail on a mini-vacation from Rome,

while you sip expertly mixed cocktails and nosh on Italian

cuisine.

ESQUILINO

Esquilino: The bustling rione of history,

diversity, and grit

One of Rome’s Seven Hills, Esquilino is

an ancient neighbourhood with a vibrant

and multicultural present. Here you

will find a little bit of everything: plenty

of history, as it begun as the home to

the semi-mythical Ancient Roman King,

Servius, and is dotted with ancient walls

and ruins; religious significance, from

the magnificent Papal church of Santa

Maria Maggiore; 19th century Italian

architecture, in the famous colonnade

of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele; and a

thriving food scene blending authentic

local flavors with diverse international

cuisines.

Esquilino is home to many of Rome’s

immigrant populations, giving it a

distinct and diverse atmosphere. The

streets are filled with local markets and

eateries that reflect the neighborhood’s

global influences, as well as bookshops,

galleries and cafès. As it’s slightly

outside the tourist center, Esquilino

feels more grounded and authentic –

a reflection of the real Rome, both its

history and the city it is today.

Right now, Esquilino is seeing a

resurgence in tourism and international

recognition after the death of Pope

Francis, who flouted tradition by

choosing to be buried in Santa Maria

Maggiore. The burial has transformed

Santa Maria Maggiore into a significant

pilgrimage site, drawing thousands of

visitors and adding a new dimension

to Esquilino’s cultural and spiritual

landscape.

Come indulge in this sophisticated Italian restaurant

owned by two Italian brothers. Highly recommended

by locals, the eatery’s best-loved recipes are its

egg custard and truffle dishes. The traditional and

authentic feel and taste of the restaurant will have

you come back repeatedly. Make sure to book a

table in advance as seating is limited.

Casadante is a spacious, open-concept restaurant.

It is a trendy, intellectual vibe, and delicious food

to match. The cuisine is primarily classic Roman,

but the menu also features a selection of DOP

hamburgers, plus an alluring wine list. Casadante

is located off Piazza Dante.

This isn’t just a restaurant: it’s an establishment.

Started in 1916, Trattoria Vecchia Roma serves

locals with very classic Roman dishes. The familiar

carbonara, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana, are all

features, but so are those less familiar for tourists

– coda alla vaccinara (oxtail), rigatoni con la pajata

(pasta with small intestines). Their porchetta

(roasted suckling pig) should not be missed.

Mercato Centrale is an expansive collection

of gourmet restaurants and cafès – a foodie’s

paradise. They call themselves a workshop, and

those making the food the artisans. Whatever you’re

after – italian truffles, argentinian empanadas,

chinese dumplings, neapolitan sfogliatelle pastries,

trapizzino, a smashburger, or simply a gelato and

a glass of wine – you’ll find it at Mercato Centrale.

Even if you do not have a sweet tooth, stopping

by Regoli for a pastry is an absolute must. This

pasticceria is famous for its maritozzi, a Roman

pastry filled to the brim with whipped cream. Other

delights include a custard-filled shortbread dotted

with fresh strawberries, or the fagottine – “little

bundles” of ricotta.

Forno Conti is a bakery (and more) in the heart of

Esquilino. With its minimalist, Nordic-inspired vibe,

it offers a mix of international, Italian, Scandinavian,

and French recipes. From Venetian buns and

cardamom rolls to croissants, pain au chocolat,

and a wide variety of breads, there’s something for

everyone. Lunchtime features tasty savory pastries,

quiches, and pizza, all paired with specialty coffee.

Marco G’s is the restaurant you think doesn’t exist

in Rome anymore. Small and welcoming, packed

with locals until the late hours of the evening,

dishing out Roman pasta and pinse–a thick, almost

focaccia-like, Roman-style pizza– with warmth

and authenticity. It’s the kind of place where you

hesitate, just a little, before telling others about it;

but, then you think, it would be selfish not to share.

At De Zhuang Restaurant, an exciting variety

of menus awaits, each dedicated to the unique

experience of Chinese Fondue or hot pot style

dining. Imagine each table adorned with a central,

steaming metal cauldron, inviting guests to partake

in the interactive joy of cooking their own meals,

picking and mixing different tastes.

Via Merulana, 121

Open Wed-Sun 12pm-8pm

FOCUS ON ESQUILINO

ST. MARY MAJOR

Piazza di S. Maria Maggiore, 42

One of Rome’s four Papal Basilicas, this magnificent church is the final resting place of seven Popes,

including the late Pope Francis. It is richly decorated, with majestic columns, gold embellishments, and a

stunning blend of Paleochristian and Medieval mosaics.

The Basilica also houses several important relics, most notably the Salus Populi Romani, a revered

painting of the Virgin Mary believed to have been created by Saint Luke. Its arrival in Rome was so

momentous that it was paraded through the streets for three days.

For those more interested in art than religion, the church features the tomb of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one

of Rome’s greatest sculptors, and Arnolfo di Cambio’s nativity scene — the very first nativity scene in art

history.

Over 1,600 years old, the Basilica is truly awe-inspiring. Its Romanesque bell tower rises 75 meters above

Esquiline Hill, making it the tallest in Rome.

SAN VITO CHURCH

Via Carlo Alberto, 47

This small church curiously

features two distinct facades:

one made of marble and the

other of ancient brick. The

brick facade is part of the

original Servian Walls, Rome’s

ancient defensive fortifications,

and is connected to the Arch

of Gallieno, a remnant of the

Porta Esquilina—the historic

Esquiline Gate. The marble

facade dates back to the late

15th century, when Pope Sixtus

IV established the church.

Offering a fascinating window

into Rome’s layered history,

this church also has a darker

side; its “Stone of Iniquity” was

used as a torture device against

Christian martyrs.

A grand building in Umbertine

style, Palazzo Merulana is

a cultural hub, art gallery,

bookstore and cafè. Housing

mostly Roman and Italian

artworks, the chic space

explores 20th century art. The

sculpture-filled lobby and its

café is perfect for peoplewatching

or studying, and after

wandering through its dedicated

exhibition floors, head up to the

terrace to enjoy skyline views of

the Eternal City.

SANTA PRASSEDE

Via di Santa Prassede, 9A

A tiny church, tucked away

around the corner of its

imposing neighbour, Santa

Maria Maggorie, Santa Prassede

is a hidden gem. Considered the

masterpiece of Early Medieval

Rome, its Byzantine mosaics are

some of the oldest in the city,

and were executed by artists all

the way from Constantinople. It

tells the story of the relationship

between the two Roman

Empires, and the diplomatic and

religious ties which formed the

early Church.

TEATRO

BRANCACCIO

Via Merulana, 244

Teatro Brancaccio stands as

one of Rome’s principal and

most recognizable theatres,

a cornerstone of the city’s

performing arts scene. In

line with the vibrance of the

neighbourhood, it has played a

central role in Roman cultural

life since its opening in 1916. It

hosts everything: from serious

opera-musicals based on

the lives of artists (the latest

of these is Frida Kahlo) to a

comedy-musical about a choir

of nuns – and that’s just this

season.

PIAZZA VITTORIO

EMANUELE II

P.za Vittorio Emanuele II

Built in the aftermath of Italy’s

reunification, this piazza is

surrounded by Italian palaces

and 19th-century style

porticoes. Walking under these

grand rows of columns, which

outline one of the largest

piazzas in Rome, you will

encircle the garden in its center.

The garden itself is dotted with

ruins; the remains of an Ancient

Roman fountain, the Trophies

of Marius. On a sunny day, the

park comes alive, a showcase

of a vibrant and still-local

neighbourhood surrounded by

history.

MERCATO ESQUILINO

Via Principe Amedeo, 184

Open 5am – 3pm every day except

Sunday

Housed in a sprawling indoor

warehouse near Piazza Vittorio

Emanuele, the Mercato

Esquilino is a market that

bustles with energy as locals

and vendors shout, haggle, and

weave through tightly packed

stalls. The market is a colorful

amalgamation of fresh produce,

exotic spices, international

ingredients, and imported goods

from across Asia, Africa, and

the Middle East, reflecting the

diverse communities that call

the area home. It’s a chaotic

but fascinating glimpse into the

daily life and global flavor of

Esquilino. Bring a good appetite,

and cash.

BASILICA DI SANTA CROCE IN GERUSALEMME

Piazza di S. Croce in Gerusalemme

Santa Croce in Gerusalemme is an extraordinarily old church, originally

built in 324 AD as a chapel to house sacred relics. Before that, the site

had many lives: an Imperial villa, an amphitheatre, and the residence of

Helen, mother of Constantine. The Chapel of Relics still holds a copy of

the Holy Shroud, pieces of the crucifixion cross, and thorns from Christ’s

crown. The church reflects the evolution of Roman art and architecture

— from its Baroque design to an Ancient Roman statue on the altarpiece, reworked to depict Helen.

SMASH TAG

Via Michele Lando, 22 (Piazza Bologna), Via Vittoria Colonna,

This small place selects their meat from different cuts of

creating a crispy crust while sealing all the flavourful juices

with a ‘smasher.’ For true gourmet meat lovers only.

An old-style Irish pub. Tasty patty, great buns and the

secret sauce. All paired with a vast offer of artisan beers.

Get ready: OperaCamion is hitting the road again.

From May 25 to June 22, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville will tour Rome’s neighborhoods,

bringing opera where you least expect it — right into piazzas, courtyards, and city corners.

This beloved project by the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma turns a truck into a full-on mobile

stage, complete with live orchestra, singers, lighting, and costumes. The container opens like

a curtain, and suddenly the square becomes a theatre. People show up with their own chairs

and share an evening of live music, laughter, and community.

“It’s like a circus crossing Rome, full of musicians and acrobats” Director Manu Lalli describes

it as a chance to be swept away by the energy of Rossini’s music. Opera escapes its traditional

venues and becomes a festive, open event that brings people together.

This version of The Barber of Seville is light and playful while staying true to Rossini’s spirit.

The Teatro dell’Opera’s orchestra is conducted by Carlo Donadio, and direction, costumes,

and lights are all by Manu Lalli, who draws inspiration from circus arts, commedia dell’arte,

and street culture. The cast features young talents from the Teatro’s “Fabbrica” Young Artist

Program.

MUST-SEE

A Night at the Colosseum: Explore the Arena

and Underground by Moonlight

...................................................................................

Until September 30, 2025

Flavian Amphitheater – Piazza del Colosseo, 1

Guided tour times (in Italian and English):

every Tuesday and Thursday from 8pm to midnight

Tickets available only at: ticketing.colosseo.it

...................................................................................

A NIGHT AT THE COLOSSEUM

The Night Tour

Special evening openings are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 PM to

midnight, with last entry at 10:30 PM. Tours are conducted in small groups of up to 25 people

per slot. The visit, available in both Italian and English, unfolds like a story — told from the

perspective of the spectators who once filled the Colosseum, as well as that of the gladiators

themselves.

The guide will describe in detail what a typical day was like inside the monument, from wild

animal hunts (known as venationes) to the munera, the gladiator combats — who were

admired and cheered like today’s football stars.

The Tour Itinerary

The night tour begins at the northern entrance arch, once the main access point for emperors.

From the arena floor, visitors enjoy a striking view of the cavea while learning about the grand

spectacles once offered to the Roman public.

The tour then leads into the underground area, featuring the new permanent exhibition:

“Spectacles in the Colosseum Arena: The Protagonists”, curated by Alfonsina Russo, Federica

Rinaldi, and Barbara Nazzaro.

This immersive exhibition highlights the lives of gladiators and wild animals involved in the

shows, with dramatic elements like:

• A holographic projection of gladiators emerging from the darkness

• A 2nd-century AD mosaic depicting a hunting scene

• Ancient graffiti, oil lamps, and lift mechanisms used to bring fighters and beasts to the

arena

• Full-scale replicas of gladiator armor, from the retiarius to the murmillo

• A powerful blend of history and technology brings the Colosseum’s arena back to life.

Starting Tuesday, May

13, the “A Night at the

Colosseum” initiative returns

— a guided tour that offers

the rare opportunity to visit

the Flavian Amphitheater

after dark, including areas

usually closed to the public.

The 60-minute tour

includes the first level of the

monument, the arena floor,

and the underground tunnels

— a truly unmissable

chance to uncover the

secrets of Rome’s most

iconic landmark.

ilmarcheseroma

Il Marchese unites the best of two worlds: a bar with

elegant French salon accents and pompous chandeliers,

and a restaurant with the coziness of a Roman trattoria.

But it’s not just the décor that’s impressive. When you

walk into Il Marchese you step inside Europe’s first Amaro

bar with more than 500 different Amaro labels.

During the recent G20 in Rome, Il Marchese had two

special customers: the American First Lady Jill Biden

and the French Première Dame Brigitte Macron. The two

ladies said they were “delighted with the lovely welcome”,

complimenting the staff and the quality of the products.

ll Marchese takes its name from the Marchese del Grillo,

a symbol of Rome’s inimitable spirit– a true gentleman,

but always inclined to irony, a lover of tradition, but also

appreciated by those who come from different cultures.

Here, with Chef Daniele Roppo, you’re sure to have a

fantastic dining experience. The culinary philosophy has strong Roman roots and is inspired

by traditional recipes that are lightened according to a contemporary taste, also offering

vegetarian dishes. Quality is always a priority. Ingredients are purchased from local producers.

The amaro and cocktail bar at Il Marchese pays tribute to the elegance of 19th-century

French aristocracy, with precious stuccoes, wallpapers, and velvets. The cocktails here are

perfect for an after-dinner drink or as an aperitif. Each signature drink is crafted with premium

ingredients expertly mixed. Leading the cocktail bar is Fabrizio Valeriani, a bartender with

extensive experience.

In front of Rome’s Palatine Hill and inside 400 years

of history lies Unique al Palatino Garden Restaurant

– the lush outdoor restaurant of the four-star Kolbe

Hotel Rome. Originally a monastery, the building was

transformed into a hotel and restaurant in 2007.

Since then, Unique al Palatino Garden Restaurant has

become one of our favorite spots for enjoying an al

fresco dinner in the heart of Rome.

The area has recently gained even more beauty and

tranquility thanks to the construction of a new sidewalk

along Via di San Teodoro, perfect for an evening stroll

around the Colosseum archaeological park after dinner.

Step into this garden restaurant, where blooming

flowers, centuries-old olive trees, and fragrant

citrus create a dreamlike escape. Unique al Palatino

Garden Restaurant offers traditional Italian cuisine

with a contemporary twist using innovative cooking

techniques. Ingredients are fresh and the produce is exclusively Italian for an emotional

experience around the Italian territory.We especially love their seafood offerings. As a starter,

we tried and adored their tuna tartare with avocado. For the first course, their delicate sea

bass ravioli with prawns, asparagus tips, and lemon zest is a must-try. And as a second

course, who could resist their frittura: delicious fried prawns and shrimp, still incredibly

delicate. There are also tasty options for vegetarians. The superb wine list and the excellent

Tucked just a step away from the bustling Via del Corso,

nearby cultural landmarks. Located within the charming

a memorable dining experience full of elegance and

authenticity.

In the kitchen, Executive Chef Riccardo Pepe brings his

Lucanian heritage to life in a menu that reimagines classic

Italian recipes with creativity and care, without ever losing

its original taste and comforting, homely feel.

Each plate is disegned to surprise both visually and

gastronomically: vivid colours and inviting textures come

together on luxurious tableware. In addition to meat and fish dishes, DonnaE Bistrot’s menu

offers a couple of vegetarian options to meet the needs of a wide clientele. Brunch is served

on weekends from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm at a 55 euros prize.

If you are looking for a tasting experience, DonnaE Bistrot offers four tailor-made dinner

menus - Initiale, Junior, Superior and Luxury – ranging from 65 to 90 euros, with the

possibility of wine pairing (40 euros) with the best Italian labels.

The intimate terrace of DonnaE Bistrot, overlooking the charming Via della Frezza, feels like a

private home or movie set. Starting May 15, summer Fridays become special with “CineCena”

— a new concept that blends cinema and cuisine. Enjoy a cocktail and dinner while classic

Roman films play in the background.

Les Etoiles Rooftop Cocktail Bar is the open rooftop terrace

sixty degrees of terracotta rooftops and some of the city’s

most impressive monuments. If you’re looking for a light

lunch or a dinner, an aperitivo or an after dinner cocktail, you

couldn’t find a location more romantic or luxurious.

The view takes in Castel Sant’Angelo, the Vittorio Emanuele

monument, the forested Gianicolo hill, Villa Borghese, the

spidery gazometro, and the best view I’ve ever seen of the

facade and dome of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Relax on couches or under their spacious umbrellas and

enjoy a cocktail alongside an array of delectable finger

foods. Choose from a variety of cooked and raw food,

marinated salmon, yummy club sandwiches, buffalo

mozzarella, hamburgers, rich salads and more, all finished

off with fresh fruit.

The aperitif is served every day between 5pm and 9pm. There is a fixed formula at 45 euros

which includes a drink (cocktail or glass of wine) accompanied by a selection of finger food,

also available for vegans and celiacs.

I suggest going in the evening so you can enjoy the cool breeze above the tumult of the city

below, sip a cocktail and watch the sun’s last rays warm the ancient stones of the eternal city.

Just a few streets away from the Ottaviano metro in Via Ostia

sits Rome’s oldest jazz club, Alexanderplatz, a down to earth

venue which wouldn’t be out of place in the mecca of Jazz:

Greenwich Village, New York. Alexanderplatz is underground,

figuratively as a haven to an underground musical genre

which has thrived here over the last thirty years, and literally.

As you descend the stairs into the cavernous interior, you’d

be forgiven for forgetting you were near the Vatican in the heart of Rome.

Many of the most prominent jazz, blues, soul, music artists have performed at the

Alexanderplatz, including Wynton Marsalis, Brad Meldhau, Red Rodney, Freddy Cole, Stefano

Bollani, Fabrizio Bosso, Sarah Jane Morris, Steve Coleman and many more. Founded in 1984

by Giampiero Rubei, Alexanderplatz hosts live concerts from 9.30pm (doors open at 8pm).

With a concise list of cocktails, with particular attention to vermouth and bitters, and a line

created specifically for the world of jazz with “twist on classic” designed for this historic

Roman venue, Alexanderplatz has a drinks menu in line with the trendiest Manhattan jazz

clubs. It is also possible to dine and try the food menu.

There’s no better way to spend a warm

Roman summer night than taking in an

at the Baths of Caracalla. Once a cultural

and social hub in Ancient Rome — the

equivalent of a community wellness center

where citizens would bathe, gather, and be entertained — the historic site has been transformed

into one of the city’s most atmospheric open-air stages.

Today, the majestic ruins welcome thousands of locals and visitors each summer for a rich

program of performances. From opera and dance to cinema, theatre, symphonic music, jazz, and

pop, the Caracalla Festival 2025 brings the Eternal City’s summer alive with world-class culture.

Hosted by the Rome Opera House, this year’s edition will take place at the 4,500-seat Arena

There’s one word to describe the exhibition

From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana

at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome: wonder.

After its acclaimed showings in Milan and

Paris, the exhibition curated by Florence

Müller arrives in the Italian capital — open

until August 13 in the grand halls designed

by Pio Piacentini and inaugurated in 1883.

More than just a fashion exhibition, it’s a

theatrical journey that transports visitors

through temples, opera houses, and cinematic

scenes, brought to life by Agence Galuchat’s

scenography, and showcasing over 200

unique creations by the legendary duo, icons

of Italian Haute Couture.

Bold and breathtaking, Dolce & Gabbana

enchant Palazzo delle Esposizioni with their

own “Grand Tour” of the Italian peninsula.

Unfolding across nearly 1,500 square meters

of immersive spaces, the exhibition invites

visitors into the creative mind of a brand

that is sensual, ironic, irreverent — at times

provocative, even revolutionary.

This show is an open love letter to Italian

culture, a timeless muse for Domenico Dolce

and Stefano Gabbana.

At Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the dress

FROM THE HEART TO THE HANDS: DOLCE&GABBANA

becomes a form of storytelling — an act of

identity. Craftsmanship transforms into visual

poetry, while the music echoing through the

halls serves as its score.

The origins of the two designers — Sicilian

Domenico Dolce and Milanese Stefano

Gabbana — shape an aesthetic sensibility

that reinterprets the Italian imagination with

both precision and creative freedom.

Whether you’re a fashion lover or not, this

exhibition leaves a lasting impression.

It captivates with tributes to Sicily’s ceramic

traditions, dating back to the Mycenaean

era, when key production centers included

Caltagirone, Monreale, and Santo Stefano di

Camastra — their vibrant artistry echoed in

the ornate decorations of Alta Moda gowns.

You’ll be amazed by the nods to Venice’s

iconic glassmaking heritage and the homage

to white Baroque, brought to life through the

enchanting art of master sculptor Giacomo

Serpotta.

Voluptuous garments inspired by carved

wooden figures from the 17th and 18th

centuries evoke the theatrical splendor of

the Baroque era — a celebration of Italian

tradition transformed into wearable art.

FIRENZE ROCKS 2025

FLORENCE

Many people love visiting Florence in the summer not only because of the beautiful art, vibrant

colors of the sunsets, and unique architecture, but also to enjoy the live music. This year,

thousands of rock enthusiasts will gather at the Visarno Arena for the annual “Firenze Rocks”

festival. You don’t want to miss out on this!

Kicking off the festival on Thursday, June 12, will be Guns N’ Roses, returning to Italy after

their show at Rome’s Circus Maximus on July 8, 2023, and their unforgettable performance at

Firenze Rocks in the summer of 2018.

Opening the day are Falling in Reverse, the band led by Ronnie Radke that has captivated

a global audience with its blend of metal, hip-hop, and infectious melodies; Rival Sons, the

Grammy-nominated California rock band known for their album Feral Roots (2019), which has

helped revive contemporary rock ‘n’ roll; Dirty Honey, one of the most promising new names in

global rock; and The Warning.

Firenze Rocks 2025 is ready to roll

with Guns N’ Roses, Korn, and Green Day!

Friday, June 13, will feature Korn, headlining with a concert that spans over 30 years of their

career. Since the ’90s, Korn has redefined metal music with their dark, experimental sound and

lyrics exploring themes like protest, pain, loneliness, and redemption. Sharing the stage on the

second day will be Public Enemy, pioneers in addressing crucial issues such as racism, police

violence, poverty, and social injustice through their music; Enter Shikari, known for their signature

blend of post-hardcore, electronica, punk, and experimental rock; Soft Play, a constantly

evolving band that stays true to their spirit of musical experimentation; Atwood, an up-andcoming

group with rock and indie influences; and LOccasione, a Tuscan band mixing folk, rock,

and singer-songwriter traditions.

and “Beverly Hills”. Also performing will be Shame, hailed as one of the leading voices of the

post-punk revival; Bad Nerves, a high-energy speed punk band; Punkcake, standout stars from

the latest edition of X-Factor; and Revue, a Tuscan band that blends alternative rock, shoegaze,

and indie pop.
