Through Festival: Federico Buffa

It tells the life and work of Lucio Dalla, retracing the history of all the songs in the setlist of his final concert: the one in Montreux in February 2012

from an idea by

by and with

Federico Buffa

It is a narrative and musical journey that brings together historical reconstruction and private anecdotes, public statements and previously unreleased stories, with the aim of conveying—in all its brilliant complexity— a new portrait of the great Bolognese singer-songwriter.

The musical arrangements, which include a reimagining of several songs from the Montreux concert, were created with the goal of giving back to Dalla’s songs something of their original inspiration, of their spontaneous dimension prior to the record production process.

Through Festival

Eleven years of Through Festival!

An important milestone, telling the story of a journey made of encounters, territories and culture.

Eleven years of building the most widespread of all Piedmont festivals, consisting of a network of events that extends for over 200 km and unites three provinces – Asti, Alessandria and Cuneo – and wonderful and diverse territories from the Alps to the Piedmont Apennines through Langhe, Roero, Monferrato.

Areas united by breathtaking landscapes, unique traditions and food and wine heritage, but which had never really found a point of connection.

Through Festival, with the simple power of a beautiful show in a special place on a summer evening, has been able to bridge this distance, creating a new bond in these lands, making them a great community for this occasion.
