Chiara Galiazzo Concert at Macsi Festival Rescheduled to August 8 Due to Storms

Weather-Related Disruptions at the Macsi Festival

The Macsi Festival, hosted in the town of Montecassiano, has faced a necessary shift in its summer schedule due to incoming storm activity. Organizers confirmed that the concert featuring singer Chiara Galiazzo, originally slated for the evening of July 21, was canceled due to a weather alert warning of high winds and thunderstorms.

The event has been officially rescheduled for August 8. The appointment remains fixed for 9:30 p.m. at the Cortile delle Clarisse, and the organizers have confirmed that entry remains free for all attendees. The remainder of the Macsi Festival 2026 program remains unchanged following this adjustment. The festival continues its run on Thursday, July 23, with the arrival of Giobbe Covatta, who will perform his show, 70. Riassunto delle puntate precedenti. The performance is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. at the Cortile delle Clarisse in Montecassiano, also with free entry.

The Artistic Legacy of Giobbe Covatta

As an actor and writer, Covatta is recognized as one of the most appreciated interpreters of Italian comedy. Over the course of a career spanning more than forty years, he has constructed a unique path in which satire, irony, and civil commitment are intertwined. His work aims to address social, environmental, and current event themes with intelligence. His comedy is described as being both brilliant and sharp, continuing to entertain audiences while simultaneously offering points for reflection.

Following the performance by Covatta, the Macsi Festival 2026 will continue its programming on Thursday, July 30, with a conference by the philosopher and essayist Lucrezia Ercoli, titled Nostalgia canaglia.

Regional Safety Protocols in Bassano del Grappa

While the Macsi Festival adjustments were localized, the situation in Bassano del Grappa reflected a broader regional response to severe weather. The Bassano Music Park announced that the concert by the band Pooh, one of the most beloved groups in Italian light music, was postponed by two days after the Veneto region issued an Allerta Arancione (Orange Alert) for thunderstorms. This alert, issued for July 15, 2026, resulted in the precautionary cancellation of all outdoor events scheduled across the territory for that day.

This decision was the result of a precise indication received from the Region, which imposed a stop on all outdoor events in the area. The rescheduled concert took place on Friday, July 17, at the Parco Ragazzi del ’99 in Bassano del Grappa, maintaining the original start time of 9:30 p.m. The organizers, DuePunti Eventi, confirmed that the location remained the same, as the park is one of the most frequented summer venues in the city for large musical events.

Ticketing and Attendee Logistics

For those impacted by the Bassano del Grappa postponement, organizers implemented a policy to ensure continuity. Tickets purchased for the original date remained automatically valid for the new date of July 17, with no requirement for exchange or validation. For attendees unable to attend the rescheduled performance, the organization provided a window to request a refund through the same sales circuit used at the time of purchase, with a deadline set for July 20.

The organizers, through the office of Mara Bisinella, advised the public to monitor official updates via the websites bassanomusicpark.it and duepuntieventi.com, or by contacting the organization directly at 0445.360516.
