Festival Venue

Basilica di San Pietro In Vaticano

St. Peter’s Basilica is one of four major basilicas of Rome. It is the most prominent building inside the Vatican City and built on the ruins of Old Saint Peter’s Basilica. Directly to the east of the church is St. Peter’s Square (Piazza di San Pietro), built by Gianlorenzo Bernini between 1636 and 1667. It is surrounded by an elliptical colonnade with two pairs of Doric columns which form its breadth, each bearing ionic entablatures.

Basilica di Sant’Andrea della Valle

The Basilica di Sant’Andrea della Valle, located in the heart of Rome, offers a breathtaking setting rich in history, beauty, and acoustical warmth. Known for its soaring dome—one of the largest in the city—and its ornate Baroque interior, the basilica provides an inspiring atmosphere for sacred music. Choirs will appreciate the resonant acoustics, the grandeur of its chapels and frescoes, and the opportunity to perform in a space that has been integral to Rome’s musical and spiritual heritage for centuries.
