A season full of swing and energy featuring over 100 concerts through September 12, 2022
This summer, Village Celimontana is making a comeback to the Eternal City with its seventh edition. One of the most beloved jazz and swing events in Rome, the festival will start on June 4, 2022 and run until September 12, 2022. Over the next couple of months, the villa will host 100 free concerts.
This year the Celimontana Village celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Doris Day and Judy Garland, two icons of the cinema of the past, as well as figures linked to the world of jazz, swing and musicals. To pay homage to these two divas, Gigi & Nowadays Orchestra will stage a concert dedicated to the figure of Judy Garland. And Valeria Rinaldi will dedicate an evening honoring these two icons of jazz as well. The concerts of Cristiana Polegri, who will sing Ornella Vanoni, and Samantha Iorio, Mario Biondi’s backing vocalist for some time, who will propose a show entirely dedicated to Whitney Houston.
Gipsy Festival
The Celimontana Village opens its doors to Jazz Manouche with the Gispy Festival held from 15 to 17 July. The Hot Club Roma will open this jazz review, followed by Leila Duclos on stage on Saturday 16 July. This rising star of the Manouche guitar will be accompanied on the occasion by Massimo Barella. At brunches on Saturday and Sunday, the Daniele Corvasce Manouche Trio and Renato Gattone will alternate presenting the show Ti racconto Django Reinhardt.
Botequim De Maria “That Night In Rio”
From 10 to 14 August Celimontana Village takes a trip to Latin America, in honor of Brazil, and will bring to the stage some of the greatest interpreters of carioca music present in the Italian territory: Botequim De Maria “That Night In Rio!”. The festival will begin with Silvia Manco’s live: Bossa & Samba vibs, and will continue with the concert by Eddy Palermo; one of the most popular exponents of jazz and bossa nova guitar and headliner of the following Saturday brunch. The review will close with Maria De Freitas and Mafalda Minnozzi in a special performance combining both History and Music.
Roman Classic Jazz Festival
The Roman Classic Jazz Festival, also known as the event capable of bringing the public back to the atmosphere of the 20s and 30s in a musical journey that ranges between Dixieland and swing, will return to Rome from 15 to 20 August. The Lino Patruno festival opens with its Jazz Show. Followed by the Bixie Big Band, the headliner of the Swing Swing Swing on Tuesday, while Pepper and the Jellies will perform the following day. Also, not to be missed is the Acoustic Swing Trio with special guest Bepi D’Amato. Lino Patruno closes the festival again, at the helm of his Blue Four during the brunch to be held the following Sunday.
Recurring events
The History and Music Brunches are back, and remain a true flagship of the event, being the only one of its kind in the entire capital. On stage, great artists will alternate with music; retelling tales, stories, and anecdotes related to the main figures of jazz and beyond. On Sunday evening, space for the 50s themed evening “I drink only Rock’n’roll,” will include dance lessons and live performances. Monday’s schedule presents a carte blanche to Claudio Gregoriin arte GREG, a singer, comedian, actor, and radio host who will propose theme nights, rock’n roll concerts, and new bands to be presented in Rome. On Tuesday, SWING SWING SWING returns as a headliner in the evening with the overwhelming performances of Lindy hop, Charleston, and tip tap. On the weekend, however, the event will host great national and international artists such as Max Paiella, Gianluca Guidi, Adika Pongo, Mario Donatone, Lino Patruno and many others.
