Un Castello all’Orizzonte - 14th edition

Un Castello all'Orizzonte 2026

Fourteenth Edition
Art, Tourism, Culture, and Fine Cuisine in the Heart of Umbria
april – november 2026

From late April to early November, the fourteenth edition of Un Castello all’Orizzonte offers its guests and visitors a calendar of cultural events including exhibitions, concerts, films, videos and book presentations with the participation of their authors.

The Postignano Music Festival is confirmed for its third edition, under the artistic direction of Luigi Piovano and with Enrico Ducrot as president. It will feature performers of exceptional quality and a wide-ranging programme spanning different eras and genres — from Scarlatti to David Bowie, from Schubert to Piazzolla,
from folk music to jazz, lieder and film scores. As in previous years, the Morlacchi Conservatoire of Perugia has announced a composition competition open to its students. The theme will be "…like a Schubert lied", a piece for string quartet. The festival will be held over two weekends: 4–6 and 11–13 September.

This year, catering will be overseen by Ilaria Ripanti and Andrea Funghi of Re Tartù, whom we warmly welcome. Both originally from the Valnerina, they are highly accomplished professionals with their own restaurants in Assisi and Montefalco, and they return to the territory they have always loved, bringing with them
their expertise in local produce and cuisine. 

Joining the permanent exhibitions will be a show of photographs taken between 1980 and 2000 by Luciano Ferrara, a photographer of "contemporary marginality" who has masterfully captured social phenomena and change.

Finally, a conference is planned — under the auspices of UNESCO — on the role of culture in the enhancement of historic villages, during which the collection of historic agricultural tools from the Valnerina, curated by the RASA Association, will be presented.
