Rome’s Vitala Festival kicks off a restart edition
From Blues to Soul, R&B, Rock, Gospel, Pop, Folk, Jazz and more, Vitala Festival kicked off a new edition right here in Rome. For those who aren’t aware of the Vitala Festival, it’s a self-funded philanthropic festival promoting live music and visual arts, organized in a long-standing collaboration with Teatro San Genesio.
From late September to early June concerts and events now take place at Teatro Le Salette (Vicolo del Campanile 14) in the heart of Rome’s Prati area. While the special summer outdoor events from mid-June to early September, are hosted in the lovely venue of Parco Torretta de Massimi (Viale Luigi Moretti 1), on the Aurelia, near via della Pisana.
The Vitala Festival brings together and hosts artists from different walks of life and diverse nationalities with the purpose of entertaining the community, supporting the arts and fostering artistic synergies and cultural integration. Over the years, the Festival has hosted over 200 artists, with monthly performances and events programmed. Vitala Festival has also collaborated on dedicated, special events to fundraise for charities.
As a philanthropic project, the Vitala Festival is made possible by the kind attendance of the public and the generosity of individual donors and supporters, particularly with the increased difficulties and challenges brought about by the Pandemic. The proceeds from the tickets go to defray production costs and to support the artists involved in the Festival.
Special thanks go to all the artists and performers, to Teatro San Genesio, Teatro Le Salette, Parco Torretta de Massimi, to the Festival’s technical team and collaborators, to the kind donors and of course to the audience.
The programs of past seasons are available on Teatro San Genesio website or the Festival’s Facebook Page.
