On Sunday, June 28, 2026, Arpa d'Estate, the musical and charity event promoted by the Arpa Foundation, returns to the Scotto Garden in Pisa, now in its sixth edition.
An evening of spectacle, emotion, and sharing, designed to combine the universal language of music with the Foundation's concrete commitment to research and education.
The audience will enter at 8:30 pm, with the show starting at 9:30 pm, in the historic and evocative setting of the Scotto Garden, a symbolic place of Pisan summer and a meeting place for culture, community, and solidarity.
For 2026, the artistic direction will also be entrusted to Renato Raimo, creator and driving force behind the project, who will host the evening together with Maria Chiara Battaglia.
Among the protagonists of the sixth edition are expected Franco Fasano, guest of honor of the evening, the trio Appassionante, Beatrice Baldaccini, Serena Rigacci, Alberto Nelli, Jacopo Ottonello, Rachael Stellacci, Marco Mingardi and Doady Giugliano.
The evening will also feature special guest Mattia Villardita, along with pianist Massimo Salotti and the very young pianist Victoria Novikova, winner of the Belluno International Prize in the “Small Talents” category.
There will also be plenty of space dedicated to young talent, with the Award “Young Talent Summer Harp 2026”, awarded by a popular jury of 90 people and divided by age group.
The competition will open with Fiori di Kyoto, winners of the previous edition, while Lorenzo Fanini, Smile Music Band, Sofya and Methos are expected to compete for the sixth edition.
The symbolic award dedicated to young talents is offered by Pazzaglia, while the winner's prize is offered by Marco's 2EMME recording studio, confirming the event's focus on new artistic paths and new generations.
The event is voluntary. The funds raised will be used to support the activities of the Arpa Foundation.
