A symphony of light and music shines in Agrigento
Join FestiValle for a summer full of events in the heart of the 2025 Italian Capital of Culture.
Now in its ninth edition, FestiValle, the international festival of music and digital arts held in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), will take place from August 7 to 10, set against the backdrop of Agrigento, the 2025 Italian Capital of Culture.
This year, Plenitude is the Main Partner of the festival, bringing its energy to support four days of music, art and innovation in one of Italy’s most evocative locations.
The initiative comes to life through the Plenitude Stage, nestled in the Garden of the Kolymbethra and overlooking the Temple of the Dioscuri. It hosts sunset music performances and is powered 100% by batteries charged with solar energy produced by photovoltaic panels. In addition to the stage, the batteries will also help power part of the nearby food area, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the event.
Among the featured artists from both the Italian and international scenes are Vinicio Capossela, The Cinematic Orchestra, Carl Craig and The Fearless Flyers (a side project of Vulfpeck), for an experience where music interacts with local history and culture.
Beyond music, for a unique kind of energy
Plenitude's commitment goes beyond the festival, contributing to the preservation of the area's artistic heritage. We will replace the floodlights of the Cathedral of San Gerlando with next-generation LED spotlights, enhancing its architectural beauty and improving energy efficiency.
In September, a special evening will mark the inauguration, featuring Whitemary, a songwriter and producer from Abruzzo, and Carlo Amleto, a Sicilian comedian, musician and actor.
The energy efficiency journey continues with the installation of solar panels on the roofs of the Santa Rosa oratory and the MUDIA Diocesan Museum, which will then be partially powered by renewable sources. Feasibility studies have also been carried out for two additional projects: one at the former San Vito prison, a cultural centre managed by Farm Cultural Park, and one at the association’s headquarters in Favara, in the province of Agrigento. Artists working within the facilities will thus be able to create in an environment renewed through sustainable energy.
This initiative also includes the upcoming edition of the Italian Jazz Conference: a two-day event of talks, music, and cultural exchange dedicated to the world of jazz, which will be held inside the renovated buildings this autumn.
