The Festival Rumori nell’Isola - Noise in the island in September is a music festival that marries the different styles of jazz music with experimentation and improvisation. It was founded in 2002 on the island of Ventotene and takes place the first week of September, when the evenings are sweet and the climate is soft.
The atmosphere of the Belvedere terrace and the Piazzette in front of the church and the castle of Ventotene are magical and the concerts are animated by videos, documentaries, short films, but also figurative art and dance, with experiences like action painting.
Rumori nell Isola is a festival now known throughout Italy thanks to the many well-known and emerging musicians who come from the whole world to be on stage every year.
Some groups perform songs of the popular Italian tradition of the 1900s revisited in a modern key, which transport the audience on a musical journey with arrangements of jazz mix and rhythms that invite dance.
Other groups offer concerts in which jazz or bossanova standard songs coexist with old arias, popular songs, international songwriting, Neapolitan songs. There are also groups that combine jazz with all Mediterranean traditions.
All concerts are free admission and start at 10 pm in the evening.
The review also has great historical value. Many musical performances are introduced by readings of memoirs and testimonies provided since the end of the 18th century by political prisoners who stayed on the island.
