Attraverso Festival — tappa di Canelli
The touring Attraverso Festival, a culture festival across the Langhe, Monferrato, Roero and Appennino Piemontese, plays a night at Canelli's Teatro Balbo.
Why it's special
One evening of theatre or stand-up by a name you'd recognise, indoors at Canelli's historic Teatro Balbo, as part of a festival spread over some thirty towns and three provinces.

Attraverso Festival threads through the hills of Langhe, Monferrato, Roero and the Piedmontese Apennines from summer into autumn — theatre, comedy, music and talks across around thirty towns in the provinces of Asti, Alessandria and Cuneo. Its Canelli date is one of the few it plays indoors, at the town's Teatro Balbo.
That usually means a single evening with a comedian or actor most Italians would know by name, on a proper stage rather than a piazza. It's a warmer, more intimate way to catch the festival — and, being indoors and ticketed, it fills up.
