When the sun sets over the ruins of Rome, there is a place where the charm of antiquity meets the magic of live classical music.At the Cloister of Campitelli, adjacent to the Theater of Marcellus, the Tempietto Concertsare held every summer . This festival transforms a historic space into an open-air stage, whose notes of viols and pianos attract fans, tourists and the curious with performances under the stars.
Tempietto concerts: two performances and a guided tour
Every day from June 26 to September 29, 2025, there are concerts of various instruments celebrating the greatest classical composers. The first musical event begins at 6:30 p.m., followed at 7:45 p.m. by a guided tour (in Italian or English) that takes the audience to the archaeological wonders of the Theater of Marcellus and the Campitelli district, and then concludes with the evening concert at 8:30 p.m. An innovative formula, combining the elegance of classical music with the discovery of the less touristy and more… secret Rome.
