Festival Illica is a musical event that pays tribute to the illustrious figure of opera librettist and cultured journalist Luigi Illica.

The event returns this year in the enchanting setting of the medieval village of Castell'Arquato. From 9th to 12th July, concerts, shows, and moments of in-depth analysis create an intense week of events under the artistic direction of Jacopo Brusa.

The festival's program for the 2025 edition includes guided tours of the museum dedicated to the librettist, poetic-sensory itineraries in the village and concerts.

The centerpiece of the event, on the evening of Saturday, July 12, is the opera "Pittori Fiamminghi" the lyrical drama in three acts to music by Antonio Smareglia and libretto by Luigi Illica.
