Italy

From Turin, now one of Europe's great techno capitals thanks to the summer juggernaut Kappa Futurfestival, to the Renaissance walls of Lucca where the Lucca Summer Festival brings global headliners into the heart of the Tuscan town, Italy offers a festival landscape as varied as its geography. The country plays out from north to south: the Lombard lakes and Alps host the Nameless Festival and its electronic crowds, while Puglia turns the southern night into a playground for Polifonic, tucked between olive groves and the sea.

Yet Italy is far more than open-air clubland: in Perugia, the Umbria Jazz Festival ranks among the most prestigious jazz gatherings on the planet, Rome turns its arenas and parks into monumental stages with Rock In Roma, and Sardinia caps the summer in style around the Red Valley Festival. FestT calculates your FestiScore — how closely a lineup matches your favourite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date, helping you pick the Italian edition that truly fits you.
