Rocco Hunt in concert (12 August)

The highlight of Estate Seminarese is the Rocco Hunt concert, on Wednesday 12 August at 10 p.m. in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III. One of the best-known faces of Italian rap and pop, with tracks that have topped the charts and become summer anthems, Rocco Hunt brings his energy and his repertoire to Seminara for a free open-air evening designed to get the whole square singing and dancing. It is the chance to enjoy a major concert in the heart of the Piana di Gioia Tauro.

Music and revival: Supereroi and the Nineties

Live music takes centre stage all week. On Thursday 13 August the Supereroi take to the stage, a tribute band dedicated to Ultimo (a Jam Union project) that performs the Roman singer-songwriter's songs under the motto 'the music of Ultimo, our passion'. On Saturday 15 August the grand finale is 'Voglio Tornare negli Anni 90', billed as Italy's biggest 1990s live show: a journey through the decade's hits, with free admission, closing the season to the rhythm of dance and revival.

Popular theatre and fireworks

Alongside the concerts, Estate Seminarese offers theatre and spectacle. It opens on Sunday 9 August with 'E jeu chi dissi!', a lively comedy in two acts staged by I Baroncini APS, directed by Teresa Greco, with a close-knit cast bringing dialect theatre and popular comedy to the stage. On Friday 14 August, the sky over Seminara lights up with the FOTI Fireworks Event, a spectacular fireworks display at 10 p.m., one of the most striking moments of the summer.
