Why this event is not to be missed
Few Italian festivals manage to bring together the live show of a band like Nu Genea, the jazz poetry of Aja Monet, the Arab-electronic dancefloor of Acid Arab and the DJ sets of two legends like Gilles Peterson and Mr. Scruff. All in a hilltop village, with the option of staying overnight in the festival area.
