On Monday 17 August 2026 piazza San Rocco, in Spina di Rizziconi, hosts the concert by «Le Orme dei Pooh», a tribute to the great hits of the Italian band Pooh. The evening is organised by the S. Rocco «Spina» association with the support of the municipality of Rizziconi and is described on the poster as a moving tribute, an evening of music and memories.

Rocco association brings to the square in Spina between 16 and 19 August: the children's festival of La Combriccola dell'Allegria on the 16th, the Pooh tribute on the 17th, the folk music of Etnosound on the 18th and the 1990s show party on the 19th.

The concert on 17 August in Spina

On Monday 17 August 2026 «Le Orme dei Pooh» take the stage in piazza San Rocco, in Spina, a hamlet of Rizziconi. The evening is organised by the S. Rocco «Spina» association with the support of the municipality of Rizziconi and is part of the «Rizziconi Agosto 2026» programme.

The poster presents it as a moving tribute to the great hits of Pooh, an evening of music and memories. It is the most anticipated concert of the Spina week, which packs four consecutive evenings into the same square.

The poster does not give a start time; the other evening events on the programme fall between 9 and 10 pm.

Who Le Orme dei Pooh are

Le Orme dei Pooh are a tribute band dedicated to Pooh and are among the longest-running acts of their kind in Italy, with more than forty years of activity. They tour the band's historic repertoire, the songs the audience knows by heart and that span several generations.

The phenomenon of Pooh tribute bands is particularly lively: several exist, some officially recognised. Le Orme dei Pooh stand out for their continuity, having played live in Italian squares and venues across decades.

The poster does not list the line-up performing in Spina.

Why a Pooh tribute works in a village square

A concert of this kind, in a hamlet square in mid-August, has a precise function: to bring together age groups that rarely listen to the same music. Pooh are one of the few Italian repertoires that parents, children and grandparents all know equally well, and at a village feast that matters more than strict fidelity.

It is the same logic behind the rest of the Spina week: on 16 August the children's festival, on the 18th the folk of Etnosound, on the 19th the 1990s show party with sausage sandwiches. Four evenings designed for different audiences in the same space.

The S. Rocco association's week in Spina

From 16 to 19 August piazza San Rocco is the centre of the Rizziconi programme, with four consecutive evenings run by the S. Rocco «Spina» association.

Sunday 16: «La Combriccola dell'Allegria - The great children's festival», with performance, entertainment, games, music and fun for the youngest and their families. Monday 17: the Le Orme dei Pooh tribute. Tuesday 18: Etnosound in concert, an evening of folk music between tradition and popular rhythms. Wednesday 19: «Riviviamo gli anni '90 - Show Party», a journey through the legendary Nineties, with the traditional sausage sandwiches.

Spina is one of the hamlets of Rizziconi along with Cannavà, Cirello, Drosi and Russo: the municipality is not gathered in a single centre, and the summer programme moves between the villages.
