SCHEDULE
DAY 1 - 31 MAY
15:00
"IL CANTO DEL GHIACCIO"
Screening / Soundtrack
Il Canto del Ghiaccio documents the melting of the Làres glacier in the Adamello group with extraordinary images and sounds. The glacier’s melting is so rapid that it is visible to the naked eye. The documentary will be experienced through Bluetooth headphones: the audience can take headphones and immerse themselves in the exhibition.
Il Canto del Ghiaccio is a long-term project that, by telling the story of the Làres glacier’s melting, narrates the transformation of a world. The work can be seen as a form of meditation, or perhaps a process of mourning. Or a tribute to the beauty of what is no longer.
The installation reflects on the visibility of time and the impermanence of this ancient world: melting ice is snowfall from thousands of years ago — fossil water disappearing at dizzying speeds. And air from a distant past unintentionally dissolving into the present.
15:00
STRANGE PIANOS
with: Jacopo Mazzonelli, Eleonora Wegher
in collaboration with: Mart
Strange Pianos is an artistic and musical project born from the collaboration between Jacopo Mazzonelli, a visual artist and performer, and Eleonora Wegher, a concert pianist. The duo collects and restores rare and little-known keyboard instruments, often produced in limited editions, bringing them back to their original splendor. Through performances that combine music, narration, and sonic exploration, Strange Pianos delves into the rich timbral and historical qualities of these instruments, offering the audience a unique experience that blends classical, contemporary, and experimental music.
The repertoire includes works by composers such as John Cage, Philip Glass, Béla Bartók, and György Ligeti, performed on instruments like the celesta, dulcitone, keyboard glockenspiel, and toy piano. The project has appeared at major festivals and theaters in Italy and abroad, collaborating with composer Matteo Franceschini and pushing the boundaries between visual arts and music.
16:00
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CLIMATE IN ITALY
with: Luca Mercalli and Pietro Lacasella
in collaboration with: Mart
The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 the International Year for Glacier Preservation. From a climate perspective, the melting of glaciers caused by rising temperatures leads to a profound disruption of life on Earth, as these formations are essential for climate regulation and access to drinking water.
In this event, we will discuss the state of glaciers in Italy and the Alpine region, retracing the history of these vital formations. From a scientific standpoint, we will outline the causes of glacier retreat and its consequences on the climate. We will also explore the social and anthropological impacts of climate change. How can such a complex phenomenon as climate change be made tangible and understandable to everyone?
15:30
MANI. INTERACTIVE SET
Performance
Mani is a project born to bring music back to its social function and instinctive nature. Through touch screens that allow the use of an application—extremely intuitive and user-friendly—the audience can actively participate in creating a live electronic set by taking turns adding sounds and music. Everyone can join this improvisation session, with no need to know how to play an instrument. Members of the collective will be present on-site to guide the audience and explain how it works, engaging with anyone who wants to try, so that music can truly be made together.
16:00
CHARLI XCX: ALONE TOGETHER
Screening
Alone Together is the documentary film that tells the story behind the album How I’m Feeling Now, considered the forerunner of the successful BRAT released last summer. The work was conceived during the 2020 lockdown and recently celebrated its 5th anniversary. The album, written in just five weeks in Charli XCX’s Los Angeles apartment, which was transformed into a studio for the occasion, is the result of a participatory process between the pop star and her worldwide fanbase, with whom Charli has always maintained an authentic and intimate relationship.
The documentary highlights Charli’s genuineness as she shares her story unfiltered, gently taking us through her creative process.
17:00
DELICATONI: DELICONSTRUCTIONS
Performance
with: Delicatoni
Deliconstructions is a fluid performance that explores the deconstruction of songs from their repertoire and adapts to the surrounding space. Like an invitation to silence, then chaos, then song. It will be an improvisational performance blending electronic, jazz, and space pop.
Delicatoni is an independent music project born in the city of Vicenza. The group consists of Antonio Bettini, Smilian Jack Cibic, Giorgio Manzardo, and Claudio Murru. Their musical style is diverse, ranging from sweet jazz ballads and dreamy psych-pop songs to ecstatic dance tracks. The project draws inspiration from the relationship between the beauty of their ancient neoclassical city and the digital, rationalized culture in which their music exists.
The name "Delicatoni" suggests a paradoxical sense of caricatured delicacy, overflowing tenderness, and warmth. In 2022, they released their self-titled debut album Delicatoni. In 2023, they released Giorno libero, a four-track EP featuring sounds ranging from disco, jazz, soul, synth-pop, to classical.
Now comes Delicatronic, a new sonic adventure following the one rule the collective embraces: never repeat themselves.
18:00
MAKE ART NOT MAINSTREAM
with: Mace and Stefano Polli
moderator: Deerwaves
What role do countercultures play in artistic production? Mace and Stefano Polli, creative director of Sugodesign (responsible for visuals for Mace, Jovanotti, Massimo Pericolo, FKJ, and many others), come from the underground world and know it so deeply that they have skillfully and visionarily translated it into mainstream culture, influencing and transforming it.
Countercultures, characterized by strong spontaneity and cross-cutting across gender and class, have spread widely in our collective imagination and have been enriched by talented artists who dared to take risks and brought these movements to the center of their creative work. This influence has shaped our contemporary culture—from music to visual arts, poetry to cinema. For example, the psychedelia of the hippie culture merged with the DIY ethos of punk; the Jamaican idea of the soundsystem as a way to experience spaces channeled hip-hop culture.
The underground culture is one of the most fascinating phenomena to observe because of the way its various countercultures interact and blend. In this talk, we will explore what underground culture has meant for Stefano and Mace, and how it has influenced their work.

HOLD ME WHILE I'M NAKED
with: Beatrice Favaretto
special guest: LALLIBOOP (@lalliboop)
in collaboration with: Mart
Hold Me While I’m Naked is an experiment in sharing sexuality and desire. The project collects anonymous fantasies and erotic stories gathered since 2020, brought to life through live readings performed by a narrator under the pseudonym Miele. On this occasion, the voice will be that of Lalliboop — bodybuilder, dominatrix, and storyteller.
Miele is not a fixed identity but a fluid and ever-changing entity. Sometimes embodying iconic figures that have shaped the collective imagination, other times inspired by new, contemporary faces chosen from the streets, giving form to a more inclusive, universal, and non-normative eroticism.
16:00
UNO DUE TRE. PERFORMANCE ELETTROACUSTICA
with: Pietro Vicentini, Elia Pastori, and Anton Sconosciuto
Uno Due Tre is an electroacoustic improvisation performance featuring three drummers: Elia Pastori, Pietro Vicentini, and Anton Sconosciuto.
Elia Pastori is a Milanese drummer and multi-instrumentalist, born in 1992. He plays with Mahmood, L I M, Joan Thiele, and Venerus, and is part of the project NAVA. He also has a solo project called Precisione della notte.
Pietro Vicentini is a drummer who has collaborated with Giungla, Cal Birnanthe, Mammaliturchi, and DJSTIVO.
Anton Sconosciuto is a drummer and composer born in London but raised in Siena since childhood. He is currently active as a drummer and arranger with KOKO MOON, Adult Matters, Orelle, Vera di Lecce, and Kostja, and also a songwriter for Oga Magoga and SpinnstDu?. His music follows his passions, starting from classic 70s influences, drifting into alt-folk/indie rock à la Mac DeMarco, and finally blending jazz and electronic music.

PINO. DI FRANCESCO LETTIERI
Screening
A great singer-songwriter, a poet, and an exceptional guitarist, Pino Daniele managed to blend Neapolitan tradition with Black music, creating completely new and original sounds. Loved for the simplicity and boldness with which he accessed his inner world and the ability to share it through his music and words, the documentary features Pino Daniele’s own voice telling his dreams, struggles, disappointments, achievements, and relationships with friends and colleagues.
This is made possible through a long, never-before-seen video interview with journalist Federico Vacalebre, who co-wrote the documentary’s concept with Francesco Lettieri. The story is built using 50 hours of previously unreleased footage from concerts, backstage, and recording studios, as well as unreleased music, family album photos, notes from his personal diary, musical instruments, and access to places where Pino lived.
17:00
POP X PLAYS "I BELONG TO YOU" FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
with: Pop X
Belong to You live for the very first time, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025. Pop X is an Italian music project formed in Trento in 2005, with founder Davide Panizza as the sole permanent member. Since 2005, Pop X has gathered fans everywhere, performing in various settings and becoming a key reference in the Italian it-pop scene while maintaining a strong, sometimes experimental, electronic edge.
Before the release of Lesbianitj in 2016—an album that turned Pop X into a cult project and prompted Bomba Dischi to start promoting them—Pop X was supported only by the visionary label Dischi Di Plastica (Camillas). After that release, the band toured extensively across Italy.
The project is known for a vast and diverse discography, often differing significantly from previous works, along with meticulous attention to video and live performance aspects. After nearly 20 albums, including six with Bomba Dischi, Pop X is recognized throughout Italy as an unparalleled artistic and performative project.
Following the release of Balla coi lupi nella stalla, Pop X is ready to hit the stages across the country once again.
18:00
SINESTESIE POP
with: Giorgio Poi, Zuzu
moderator: Elisa Vettori
We will have the pleasure of hosting musician Giorgio Poi, the evening’s headliner, and Zuzu, a comic artist who in 2021 published the successful graphic novel Giorni felici (nominated for the Strega Prize and finalist at the Angoulême Prize) and her more recent work Ragazzo, released on May 9. Zuzu and Giorgio Poi are friends and have collaborated closely, inspiring each other.
The central theme of the discussion is the blending of arts, specifically comics and songwriting: these two disciplines are inherently hybrid, as both music and drawing incorporate a strong literary element present in both art forms.
They will be joined in conversation by Giulia Cavaliere, a journalist and music critic considered one of Italy’s foremost experts on the intersection of music, literature, and visual arts.
