Sotto il cielo tra le due torri – 2026

Summer 2026 brings a rich calendar of events, encounters and moments of togetherness to the territory of Montecatini Val di Cecina and its hamlets. After the enthusiasm and participation that opened the season, the program moves into full swing with a wide-ranging offering designed to accompany residents and visitors throughout the summer months.

From music to cultural events, from gatherings in the squares to community-focused initiatives, every corner of the municipality comes alive with experiences that blend entertainment and connection. The squares once again become meeting places, the villages light up with life, and each hamlet, from Ponteginori to Querceto, to Sassa, takes center stage in a summer lived to the fullest.

A program designed for all ages, one that puts the value of togetherness at its heart and helps support the local economy, creating opportunities to discover the area and its businesses. An open invitation to experience Montecatini Val di Cecina under the summer sky, among events, people and moments to share.
