The historic event “Lungo il Tevere Roma” is proud to announce the launch of its official new portal: www.lungoiltevereroma.it.

The new website, featuring a modern design and an intuitive user interface, has been designed to provide visitors, tourists, and Roman citizens with immediate access to the full cultural, artistic, and gastronomic program that has animated the banks of the Tiber for years.

A Journey Through Culture and Entertainment The restyling is not just aesthetic, but functional. Great importance has been given to the section “The Event – The Heart of Rome’s Summer,” where visitors can explore the four pillars of the event through dedicated interactive boxes:

1. Words by the River: The literary lounge featuring book presentations.
2. Sunset Notes: A rich calendar of live music and concerts.
3. Awards & Ceremonies: Evenings dedicated to excellence and prestigious award ceremonies.
4. The Tosca: A unique tribute to the opera and the myth of Puccini on the river.

Innovation by Studio Graffiti The digital project was developed and executed by Studio Graffiti, a leading agency in communication and web design. Thanks to the collaboration with Studio Graffiti, the new site ensures seamless navigation even from mobile devices, allowing anyone to check events in real-time while strolling along the riverbanks. The bilingual format (Italian and English) further highlights the international vocation of an event that is now a landmark for global tourism in Rome.

“With this new website, we wanted the emotion of Lungo il Tevere Roma to begin online,” the organizers stated. “Thanks to the work of Studio Graffiti, we now have a digital home that reflects the quality and soul of our event.”

The website is now live and can be visited at: www.lungoiltevereroma.it

Every Friday from July 11 to August 8, 2025 – 9:00 PM – at the official stands of the Campania Region during the cultural event “Lungo il Tevere Roma”

A cultural journey through cinema, society, and identity

Five special evenings to rediscover the deep connection between Campania and the great auteur cinema: introducing Campania – A Region in 35mm, a format curated by the Archivio Storico del Cinema Italiano, conceived and presented by President Graziano Marraffa.

Every Friday, from July 11 to August 8, from 9:00 PM to 10:15 PM, at the official stands of the Campania Region, as part of the Lungo il Tevere Roma event, a talk series will be held focusing on five acclaimed directors who have masterfully portrayed the Campania region through the lens and language of cinema.

Each evening will feature and analyze key scenes from iconic films, offering the audience insights and reflections on social, cultural, and artistic themes, with the participation of guests from the worlds of cinema, culture, and justice.

On the River of Rome Flows Tosca by Giacomo Puccini

From July 21 to 25 at 9:30 PM, the opera boat will set sail from the banks of the Tiber River, near Ponte Garibaldi, and navigate toward Castel Sant’Angelo, hosting a live performance of Tosca on board.

A show conceived and organized by the Cultural Association Idea Roma to enchant both Romans and tourists.

Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece will be performed by three outstanding artists: Elena Lo Forte as the leading role, Fabio Andreotti as Mario Cavaradossi, and Alessio Quaresima as Baron Scarpia. Three powerful and refined voices, able to convey the emotional intensity of the opera even in an unconventional setting such as a river. The musical direction is entrusted to Maestro Sergio Oliva.

“Tosca Along the Tiber” is a project that aims to celebrate two Italian treasures: opera and the Tiber River, through an original and accessible format for all.

Thanks to the collaboration with the event Lungo il Tevere Roma …un fiume di cultura ("Along the Tiber Rome …a river of culture") and with the support of the Lazio Region, the riverbanks become a place of gathering, sharing, and wonder. After the success of 2018, the opera boat returns renewed for the summer of 2025, offering a free and open performance that blends emotion and culture in the heart of the Eternal City.

The Rome of Tosca: an exhibition between imagination and reality

The chosen opera for this performance could only be Tosca. Not just because it is one of Giacomo Puccini’s most famous and beloved works, but because it is deeply Roman. Performing it along the Tiber means multiplying its layers of meaning: each Roman scene echoes through the very places from which it originates—such as Castel Sant’Angelo.

Alongside the musical performance, the 2025 edition of Tosca Along the Tiber will also feature a visual exhibition with images projected onto a videowall installed on the boat—centered on the theme “The Rome of Tosca.”

A project curated by RomePhotoLab – @romephotolab – a permanent visual arts laboratory based in Rome and promoter of the International Photography Festival, whose third edition will take place this September at the museum hub of Villa Altieri.

The two selected photographers, Elisabetta Felici and Pierluigi Meduri, through their shots, aimed to explore the opera’s imagery through a contemporary lens.

The exhibition enriches the performance, transforming the Tiber into an open-air cultural laboratory.
