AUTUMN IN SPOLETO 2026

Over two months of events spanning culture, music, theatre, art, food and wine, sport and activities for children. A programme put together by the City Council in collaboration with the city’s associations and institutions

Autumn in Spoleto 2026 is now underway – a programme of over 60 events promoted by the Municipality of Spoleto in collaboration with the city’s associations, organisations and institutions, which will keep residents and visitors entertained until the end of November with a packed programme.


There are numerous events on the programme, spread across the historic centre and the surrounding villages, featuring activities dedicated to culture, music, theatre, art, food and wine, sport and families, alongside talks, conferences, book presentations, excursions and events aimed at promoting the local heritage.

The programme kicks off with events from 25 to 27 September, including Fauna 2026, the European Heritage Days, the ‘4 Allenatori’ Memorial and the Porsche Italia Rally. Also taking place on these dates is the nature and culture excursion From San Pietro to the Palazze along the Giro dei Condotti, which forms part of the European Heritage Days programme.

October offers a particularly varied programme of events. Highlights include events marking the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis of Assisi, with the In the Footsteps of Francis trek and the second edition of the Spoleto Parade; performances by the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale; the DICOLAB project on the digitisation of cultural heritage; study days dedicated to neoclassical sculpture; and the conference Umbriae – Networking and Culture in the City of Two Worlds.

There is also plenty on offer for music lovers, with the Spoleto Jazz events organised by Visioninmusica, the Midday Concerts, the concert for accordion and string orchestra, and other events hosted in the city’s theatres.

Autumn in Spoleto also focuses on promoting local produce with Frantoi Aperti (Open Oil Mills), running from 18 October to 16 November, and the Grande Pedalata cycle ride along the Assisi–Spoleto Olive Belt, whilst Dolci d’Italia, the festival dedicated to pastries and confectionery specialities, returns at the end of October.

Events aimed at young children and families include the Leggimi e... Leggimi ancora! reading sessions, organised as part of the ‘Born to Read’ programme by the Carducci Municipal Library and the 2nd Educational District of Spoleto, with the participation of teachers from the municipal nurseries, and La Domenica dei Sogni, featuring the show “Puss in Boots”.

There will also be performances at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti and the Teatro Caio Melisso, such as the 2026–2027 Theatre and Dance Season, the contemporary dance and hip-hop show Spoleto Stage 2026, as well as talks with Mario Calabresi and Marco Travaglio, and concerts by the ‘Città di Spoleto’ International Piano Competition and the Pozzoli Quartet. The programme also includes a concert dedicated to peace and against rearmament, and the comedy La casa by Gianfrancesco Marignoli, staged over two evenings.

Rounding off the calendar are events dedicated to culture and the promotion of heritage, such as the conference Restauro in scena, focusing on the conservation and reuse of historic stage sets.

Further enriching the programme are the exhibitions hosted at Palazzo Collicola, including Anafora by Giuseppe Penone, Grande assurdo by Adelaide Cioni and Un salto nel vuoto. Filippo Marignoli, 1926–1995, which can be visited until 10 January 2027.
