Piacenza Classica Festival

The chamber music festival Piacenza Classica opens in April 2022. 
The opening will be held at an exceptional location, the auditorium ex Chiesa dei Teatini, a building restored and optimized for concerts and orchestras. The festival continues at the Ducal Chapel of Palazzo Farnese, designed in the early seventeenth century to host religious events related to the ducal family, which is now used as a conference center and auditorium.
