V. “Wonder of Tuscany” International Art Festival
3-6 July 2026 | Italy - Montecatini Terme
We warmly invite you to the V. “Wonder of Tuscany” International Art Festival, held in the charming spa town of Montecatini Terme — a jewel at the heart of Italy’s most iconic region. Famous for its elegant thermal baths, palm-lined boulevards, and artistic atmosphere, Montecatini has long been a retreat for musicians, painters, and poets seeking inspiration. It is perfectly located between Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena, making it an ideal base for exploring Tuscany’s legendary landscapes and architectural masterpieces. During the festival, participants will not only perform in one of Tuscany’s most picturesque towns but also experience Italian culture at its finest — from historic piazzas and open-air performances to authentic cuisine and lively evening gatherings. Join fellow artists from around the world for an unforgettable celebration of music, dance, and friendship — and let the magic of Tuscany inspire your art.
