Festival di Villa Arconati

The Festival di Villa Arconati takes place in Castellazzo di Bollate, just outside Milan, in the grounds of the 18th-century villa that gives it its name. Its eclectic summer programme mixes Italian pop with Arisa and Pacifico, Giovanni Allevi's piano, the Gipsy Kings and a tribute to David Bowie featuring Paolo Fresu. Concerts, including one at dawn, are held outdoors with around 1,100 seated places.
