Treviso d’Estate embodies our commitment to bringing the city to life every day through culture, music, and opportunities for social interaction. We have crafted a rich and diverse program capable of engaging a wide range of audiences and highlighting not only the historic center but also the city’s neighborhoods and public spaces. Treviso thus reaffirms itself as a cultural hub and a welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive place.

The city, with its venues and spaces, becomes a stage. Music, theater, and community events become tools for coming together, experiencing urban spaces, and strengthening a sense of community. I thank Councilors De Gregorio and Vettoretti for collaborating on this program, which also includes some significant new additions.
