The 2025 edition was particularly significant due to the coincidence of two symbolic anniversaries: the 90th anniversary of Luciano Pavarotti’s birth and the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Home Museum, which took place in 2015 during Expo Milano.

The festival has established itself as an eclectic and refined showcase for musical events, meetings, performances and in-depth discussions, always striking a balance between popular appeal and artistic quality. Alongside the big names, a key role has been reserved for young talents supported by the Foundation itself, which always offers them concrete opportunities for training, improvement and visibility.

One of the central objectives of the initiative – in full harmony with the Foundation’s mission – remains that of keeping the legacy of opera alive and accessible, including through educational and informative formats designed to attract a wide audience, composed not only of enthusiasts but also of newcomers and the curious. Thus, every year, a journey of “friendship with opera” is renewed, nourished by simplicity, passion and a desire to tell stories, opening the doors to a world too often perceived as distant or elitist, which Maestro always strove to make known to the world.

As in previous editions, the Foundation has benefited from the support and renewed trust of attentive and sensitive organisations such as BPER Banca and Gruppo Pelliconi, essential partners who share the goals of the event, which is also considered a powerful tool for promoting the region.
