Sarteano Jazz & Blues 2026

Where Music Meets Art in the Heart of Tuscany

On October 30 and 31, 2026, the medieval village of Sarteano celebrates jazz and the genius of Miles Davis, bringing music, art, and creativity together in a truly captivating setting.

There are places where beauty reveals itself through silence, others where it comes alive through music. And then there are villages like Sarteano, where history, art, and culture come together to create truly extraordinary experiences.

In the heart of the Val di Chiana, surrounded by historic buildings, charming cobblestone streets, and landscapes painted in the warm, enchanting colours of autumn, a special event connected to Sarteano Jazz & Blues returns. This long-established music festival has celebrated the rich sounds of jazz and blues for decades.

On October 30 and 31, 2026, the atmospheric Teatro degli Arrischianti will host "Visual Art & Jazz… A Tribute to Miles Davis", a special event that brings together music and visual arts in honour of one of the greatest innovators in jazz history.

This tribute holds particular significance in 2026, marking the centenary of Miles Davis's birth. A visionary artist, Davis revolutionised the language of music and left an unforgettable mark on twentieth-century culture.

Designed for children and young people aged 5 to 15, the event offers a creative and engaging opportunity to discover the worlds of art and music, all within the intimate setting of one of Tuscany's most charming little theatres.

Autumn in Tuscany: An Experience to Savour Slowly

Visiting Sarteano at this time of year also means discovering a quieter, more intimate side of Tuscany.

The rolling hills of the Val di Chiana are dressed in autumn colours, medieval villages regain their peaceful charm, and the irresistible aromas of traditional Tuscan cuisine invite visitors to linger in cosy local trattorias.

It is the perfect season to escape the rush of everyday life and enjoy a relaxing weekend filled with scenic walks, authentic flavours, art, and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

A Timeless Stay at Dimora del Campanile

To make this experience even more memorable, Dimora del Campanile, nestled in the heart of the medieval village of Torrita di Siena, offers the perfect base from which to explore Sarteano and the many wonders of the Val di Chiana.

A historic residence with ancient stone walls and exposed wooden beams, where guests can rediscover the simple pleasure of peace and tranquillity while immersing themselves in the timeless atmosphere of authentic Tuscany.

Because travelling is not just about the places we visit, but also about the emotions we feel, the atmospheres we experience, and the memories we carry home.
