Pesaro will hold the title of Italian Capital of Culture in 2024, following on the heels of twinned 2023 capitals Bergamo and Brescia. The official kickoff ceremony will take place on January 20. Set on the Adriatic Coast in the region of Le Marche, Pesaro will hold the title for one calendar year and will receive €1 million to carry out initiatives previously outlined in its La natura della cultura-themed dossier. 

Pesaro’s 2024 calendar is packed with more than 300 events, large and small, spotlighting some 150 Italian and international artists, musicians, actors, journalists, politicians and other special guests.
