Having been put on hold last winter as Italy suffered through its second Covid-19 wave, the festival is now staging a surprising comeback with a special summer edition, which will attempt to satisfy a deep need for togetherness, the inevitable reaction to many months of social distancing and lockdowns. The summer festival’s performances will be held at the two abbeys of Chiaravalle and Morimondo, as well as the Santuario della Beata Vergine di Montevecchia, the Triennale gardens in Milan’s Parco Sempione, and the parks of Villa Arconati in Castellazzo di Bollate and of Villa Olmo in Como.
