In late July 2026, journalist Marino Bartoletti presented his new book about his friendship with singer‑songwriter Lucio Dalla at Castello Branciforti in Raccuja. The event, part of a municipal cultural programme, included a live musical homage to Dalla performed by a young local singer.

A week later, in early August 2026, the town of Moscufo hosted an acoustic concert by Gianmarco Carroccia, focusing on the repertoire of another iconic Italian songwriter, Lucio Battisti. Organized by a local cultural association, the performance aimed to celebrate Italy’s songwriting heritage and promote cultural tourism.

Both events illustrate a series of small‑town initiatives across Italy that use literary presentations and live music to honour the legacy of celebrated Italian musicians.
