The new edition of "Un Parco di Musica ed altre storie", promoted by the Metropolitan City of Florence and the Municipality of Vaglia with the coordination of Music Pool, relaunches, for the fourth year, an important programme of events from 2 June to 27 September 2026 with over 30 events including music but also theatre, dance, performances and readings: the programme takes place in the picturesque Medici Park of Pratolino, one of the most fascinating places in Tuscany, a Unesco World Heritage Site and guardian of centuries of history.
Many organisations have joined the project again for 2026: in addition to the coordination, handled by Music Pool, we will have proposals presented and produced by: Fondazione Orchestra della Toscana, Accademia del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Florence Dance Festival/Florence Dance Center, Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina, La Nottola di Minerva ETS, Compagnia degli Istanti, Compagnia AdArte, Associazione La Chute, Pupi di Stac, Orchestra Umana Armonia, Suoni Riflessi, Filarmonica G. Verdi di Signa, Compagnia Teatro d'Almaviva, ASD Harmonia, Legamidarte, Company Blu, Ensemble Musica e Arte.
The result is a top-class programme with many stars that will accompany the weekends this summer: music in all its forms, ranging from jazz, classical music and orchestras, to popular and independent music, dance, stage readings, and meetings on literary and environmental themes. The shows are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (6:00 p.m. from the end of August), with the option of guided tours to discover the beauty of the Park, and the opportunity to enjoy an aperitif and dinner at the Locanda, which is open throughout the event.
Un Parco di Musica ed altre storie transforms the spaces of the park into living scenes, where the public can rediscover the magic of art in harmony with the landscape. Concerts, performances, theatre shows, and meetings with artists and musicians are interwoven in a programme that enhances the natural beauty and historical heritage of the place. The aim is to create an immersive experience, in which music and the performing arts are not simply elements of entertainment, but tools for experiencing the park in a new, sensory and emotional dimension. The dialogue between art and nature becomes the common thread of each event, making every appointment a special occasion.
Free guided tours of the Parco Mediceo are offered by the Metropolitan City of Florence, organised by the Pro Loco of Vaglia.
