Music, culture, and wine with Cantine Vitevis and the Niccolò Piccinni Foundation in anticipation of the 2025 edition of the prestigious festival that will bring concerts, performances, and meetings with great talents from Italian and international stages to Lake Garda.

The first day of Vinitaly will be dedicated to art for Cantine Vitevis: on Sunday, April 6, at 3:00 PM, in the spaces of the Venetian cooperative’s stand (H5/F4), an exclusive preview of the upcoming edition of the Garda Festival – Lake Garda International Music and Dance Festival will take place. This prestigious event will once again bring to the enchanting landscapes of Lake Garda a series of encounters with renowned Italian and international artists, along with world-class music, dance, and film events.

The highlight of this special preview will be an elegant performance by harpist Michela Anselmi, a talented artist with deep ties to the city of Verona, where she studied and has been teaching classical harp since 2010. With an extensive chamber music career, she has performed in major artistic and cultural settings, including collaborations with the Mantua Philharmonic Orchestra and the “I Musici di Santa Cecilia” Orchestra, as well as participating in national festivals across various Italian cities with the Floriana Harp Ensemble “Corde dell’Anima,” with whom she has also recorded a CD. She has also published an educational book for primary schools, Il suono della Terra, with Mela Music and the ensemble A passo Lento.

For this occasion, Maximilien Seren-Piccinni, Artistic Director of the Garda Festival, will speak about the event, which was conceived in 2023 by the Niccolò Piccinni Foundation, supported by the Ministry of Tourism and other major national institutions. The festival has already become a key event for artists and enthusiasts. He will also offer some insights into the 2025 edition, which will be officially presented on April 15 in Milan. Joining him will be Silvano Nicolato, President, and Gianfranco Gambesi, General Director of Vitevis, who will reveal details of the partnership with the Festival as a wine sponsor and announce an exclusive future project entirely dedicated to the event.

The gathering will conclude with a toast featuring Cantine Vitevis wines, celebrating this major Festival as it prepares once again to offer unique artistic and cultural experiences amidst the captivating scenery of Lake Garda.
