Cultural programming in Italy

Rome has issued a call for proposals for the 16th edition of ‘Musei in Musica’, scheduled for November 21, 2026. This initiative, organized by Zètema Progetto Cultura, involves extending the evening hours of Rome’s Civic Museums to accommodate concerts and live performances.

Other scheduled cultural events in late 2026 include the production ‘Un altro passo’ at the Parioli Costanzo theater in Rome, which integrates theater, dance, and fashion to support oncological research. Additionally, Naples will host the third edition of the ‘Open Dance 2026’ festival at Teatro Nuovo, featuring contemporary dance performances through March 2027.

Recent cultural activities in Rome include a contemporary dance trilogy at the Teatro dell’Opera, paying homage to the Ballets Russes and Sergej Djagilev. Visual arts programming features Daniele Contavalli at Studio Massimo Napoli, exploring memory and violence, alongside American artist Matt Mullican, who is scheduled for a lecture-performance at MACRO and an exhibition at Studio Varroni.

In the medical sector, the association Fabbrica 55 donated 10,000 euros to the oncology department at Humanitas Mater Domini in Castellanza. These funds are intended to support patient well-being projects, specifically the ‘Dance 4 Oncology’ program, which uses dance to assist patients undergoing chemotherapy.
