From Sunday, August 24 to Wednesday, August 27, 2025, the town of Serravalle Pistoiese will host the 24th edition of Serravalle Jazz, one of the most eagerly awaited cultural events of the Tuscan summer.
Four days dedicated to jazz and music, with concerts, talks, presentations, and guest artists of national and international renown, all set in the most evocative locations of the medieval village: the Rocca di Castruccio, the former Oratory of the Assumption, and the Torre del Barbarossa.
The festival is promoted by Fondazione Teatri di Pistoia in collaboration with the Municipality of Serravalle Pistoiese, with the support of Fondazione Caript and in partnership with Music Pool, one of Italy’s leading jazz programming organizations.
