Daniele Silvestri closes Concerti sul Lago

On Sunday 2 August 2026 Daniele Silvestri closes the Be Alternative Festival with Day 3 of "Concerti sul Lago", on the shores of Lake Cecita, at the Church of San Lorenzo in Camigliatello Silano (Spezzano della Sila). One of the most original voices in Italian music, the Roman singer-songwriter brings his ironic, poetic and socially engaged writing to the heart of the Sila National Park. The same day also features Giorgio Poi, in a concert with a string quartet, and Marco Castello; the evening ends with the Indie Disco and a DJ set by Fabio Nirta. It is the grand finale of a three-day programme marking the festival's 17th edition.

Who is Daniele Silvestri

With a career built on wit, rhythm and sharp lyrics, Daniele Silvestri has written songs that have become milestones of the Italian singer-songwriter tradition, from Salirò to La paranza, from A me ricordi te to Argentovivo. His live shows blend energy, theatricality and reflection, making audiences dance and think at the same time. His appearance in Camigliatello reflects the Be Alternative Festival's calling to combine major Italian names with experimentation: the 2026 edition brought to Lake Cecita, among others, Scotland's Mogwai and Italy's Subsonica.

The Be Alternative Festival and Concerti sul Lago

The Be Alternative Festival brings major live music up to the mountains, onto the Sila plateau. In 2026 the "Concerti sul Lago" format expands to three days for the first time, from 31 July to 2 August, with Lake Cecita as its natural backdrop. Set among the woods of the Sila National Park, the location turns every concert into an experience that blends landscape and listening. The event is organised by the B-Alternative association and is one of the most recognisable summer music dates in the province of Cosenza.

Lake Cecita and the Sila

Lake Cecita is a reservoir set in the heart of the Sila, a few kilometres from Camigliatello Silano. Surrounded by pine woods and the plateau's pastures, it is one of the most popular spots in the Sila National Park for hiking and days outdoors. The San Lorenzo locality, home to the small church of the same name, offers one of the most striking views over the water. Playing here, under the Calabrian mountain sky, gives concerts an atmosphere quite unlike city stages. Visitors coming up to the Sila for the evening can pair it with other events in Calabria.
