THE FESTIVAL

THE FESTIVAL

Now in its fourth edition, the Farnese Festival has earned its place as an international landmark for early music. Each edition comes to life through a constellation of people and institutions united by a shared vision — from the artistic direction that shapes its identity to the logistical dedication that makes it run, from the indispensable generosity of its patrons to the extraordinary embrace of one of the great treasures of Italy’s cultural heritage.
