Montebellofestival

Montebellofestival was born on 2005 thanks to the collaboration between the city, the now OTR Bellinzonese e Alto Ticino and the Chamber Music Project Associaton. It was born with the goal of offering to the pubblic a very peculiar event. 

In fact, thanks to the artistic quality and to the privileged medieval frame of the location - The Montebello Castle of Bellinzona that from the year 2000 is part of the UNESCO World Heritage - Montebellofestival is not only an international music show but gives also the chance to live its emotions in a seggestive atmoshpere. It will also be possible to mingle with some artists and guests after the show.

Loose yourself in magical and tuneful melodies in a breathtaking location. Your night will be magical.

All concerts take place at 8.30 p.m. at Montebello Castle. In case of bad weather the events take place at 7.30 p.m. at the Teatro Sociale in Bellinzona.
