The Serenissime Dimore Festival will hold its second edition in the fall of 2026, with a program of concerts across historic Veneto venues.
The season opens with vocal music. On Oct. 2, 2026, conductor Nicola Rampazzo leads "Liturgies," a program of sacred works ranging from Palestrina to Scarlatti, at the Cathedral of Santa Tecla in Este.
The festival then turns to the madrigal. On Oct. 16, 2026, the Arco Amoroso Ensemble presents "Between Word and Sound" at the Villa di Maser, tracing nearly a century of madrigal history from Arcadelt to Monteverdi.
The season closes on Oct. 25, 2026, when the Vanvitelli Quartet performs works by Michele Mascitti, Tomaso Albinoni and Handel at Villa Priuli Crisanti.
The festival's mix of sacred polyphony, secular madrigal and baroque chamber music across villas and churches positions the second edition as a compact survey of Italian vocal and instrumental traditions in the region's architectural landmarks.
