The Journey of Salotto Tevere 2025 Begins
Salotto Tevere 2025 kicks off the cultural project of the historic summer event now in its 23rd edition: “Lungo il Tevere...Roma”, which from June 6 to August 24 lights up the riverbanks with art, encounters and performances designed for locals, families, and tourists—especially in this Jubilee year. Between the arches of Ponte Garibaldi and Ponte Sisto, along the most charming stretch of the Tiber, an open-air urban arena takes shape, ready to host stories, sounds, and emotions all summer long.
The opening night, Saturday, June 7, will be full of energy with a live performance by singer-songwriter and musician Jaqueline Branciforte, a breakout artist from X Factor.
On Sunday, June 8, melodies will blend with the refined atmosphere of “A Thousand Voices on the Tiber”, thanks to the presence of JP Vocal Studio Academy and the extraordinary Johanna Pezone.
On Tuesday, June 10, the spotlight turns to “AbracaDown”, a renewed and even more magical show directed by its creator Francesco Leardini. Presented in a musical format, it features illusions and enchantments wrapped in mystery and charm. “AbracaDown” has also become a school project involving elementary and middle school children, reinforcing the importance of inclusion and fighting prejudice.
Wednesday, June 11 will host “Tevere Ride” Stand-Up Comedy (scheduled every Wednesday), featuring the popular actor Gianfranco Phino, who will revisit the highlights of his prestigious career.
On Thursday, June 12, historical storytelling meets music: Marco Lucchetti will guide the audience through the mysteries and anecdotes of the Conclave. Following this, the spiritual-pop sound of “Non Solo Gospel” will take listeners on an emotional journey.
A double feature awaits on Friday, June 13 with the presentation of the poetry anthology by Marcello Vitale, followed by a live concert by Le Coccinelle Blu.
Tuesday, June 17, the stage comes alive with the music of NeaCo’ (Neapolitan Contamination), a band that reinterprets traditional Neapolitan songs in a new and unique way, taking audiences on a musical journey around the world with the soul of Naples.
Wednesday, June 18, the dialogue with the Eternal City continues: from Aeneas to Rugantino, Marco Lucchetti once again brings together myth and Roman tradition in his theatrical storytelling, before handing the stage over to Tevere Ride.
Thursday, June 19, the spotlight is on one of the festival’s classics, with a performance by Roman singer and actress Valentina Galdì.
Friday, June 20, the spotlight turns to the female universe with exhibitions and music in the project “Women in Art”, curated by Francesca Piggianelli.
On June 24, the Improvisational Theatre Festival ‘R’Estate Qui’ begins (continuing every Tuesday). The stage becomes a place of theatrical alchemy, where unscripted stories emerge from audience suggestions—making them co-stars of the performance.
Thursday, June 26, brings a special event: “Roma Videoclip Award on Tour”, curated by Francesca Piggianelli, featuring the best of Italy’s independent music scene with special guests, video screenings, and awards under the stars of the Tiber.
The following weekend, on Saturday, June 28, the stage will host the concert “M’accompagno da me” with Jessica Farina Casuala. On Sunday, June 29, the young talents of the Alex Parravano Music School will perform, followed by “Eterna”, a show designed to echo the spirit of Rome through sound and light along the river.
Salotto Tevere 2025 is more than a festival: it’s an experience to be shared. A new way of living the city and its river—through culture, secular spirituality, music, beauty, and connection. Admission is free.
Radio Roma Sound 90FM will be the official media partner, with various initiatives to engage both on-site and remote audiences.
