Sensi d'Estate 2026.
The third evening of the summer festival Sensi d'Estate is going to host Maximiliano Cimatti with his performance dedicated to Ennio Morricone, one of the greatest artists of the Twentieth century: the composer behind the revolution in soundtracks for cinema.
A tale that builds a portrait of a complex man, who was profoundly devoted to his art but also plagued by a neverending restlessness. There is a virtual dialogue between a son who is trying to get to truly know his father, between music and unforgettable film in the background.
Art
During Sensi d'Estate, from 9:00 PM to midnight, the Design Collection of the Museo Omero will be open to the public with free admission for the occasion. A space where visitors can freely and interactively discover the beauty of objects and the thought process behind them. Thirty-two objects from the history of Italian Design, selected from winning projects and honorable mentions of the Compasso d'Oro, arranged by themes: travel, living, cooking, working, playing. The collection, nominated for the 28th Compasso d'Oro, was included in the ADI Design Index 2022 and 2023.

The Mole Vanvitelliana
An architectural masterpiece on the water built by Luigi Vanvitelli between 1733 and 1743, today it serves as the city's cultural hub, bridging history, art, design, and events. It also hosts The Mole (a bistro and literary café) and the Lazzabaretto (featuring the Arena cinema, Sconcerti Festival, and the Provviste literary festival). Other cultural festivals making a stop at the Mole include: La punta della lingua, Ancona Jazz Summer Festival, Adriatico Mediterraneo, and Festival della storia.
The Mole is not only the heart of the cultural summer but also the starting point to discover a city rich in museums, landscapes, archaeology, history, and art under the banner of Ancona Italian Capital of Culture 2028.
All summer events can be found on the Municipality of Ancona website.
