Seventy evenings of music, theatre, cinema and culture in the Cortile delle Armi transform the heart of the city into the great open-air living room of all Milanese<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is a moment, every summer, when Milan changes pace. The evenings grow longer, the Cortile delle Armi fills with chairs and lights, and the Castello Sforzesco ceases to be merely a monument and becomes a living stage. It is the signal that Estate al Castello<\/strong> is back. Now in its 14th edition<\/strong>, the festival promoted by the City of Milan’s Department of Culture \u2014 with artistic direction by Federico Russo \u2014 brings the heart of the city to life from 12th June to 9th September 2026<\/strong>, with a preview evening on 10th June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme counts seventy evenings with seating for up to 2,300, tickets at affordable prices, numerous free events and 21 seats reserved every evening for people with disabilities: the underlying idea is that the Castello, in summer, belongs to everyone. The calendar spans Italian and international music, theatre, dance, stand-up comedy, cultural talks and cinema, with a format capable of speaking to different generations and sensibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Culture Councillor Tommaso Sacchi has stated, “Estate al Castello transforms the Castello Sforzesco every year into a great urban stage, where Milanese residents and tourists, young people and families come together through the different languages of live performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the season’s leading names are artists such as Alex Britti, Carmen Consoli, Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo, Noa and Frankie hi-nrg mc, alongside voices from the worlds of culture and public debate including Massimo Recalcati, Umberto Galimberti, Dario Fabbri and Federico Buffa.
