Nameless Festival and Italian festivals: a key role in territorial growth

On 9 April 2026 in Rome, in the Sala “Caduti di Nassirya” at the Senate, Assomusica held a press conference to present the volume "Small and medium-sized music festivals: organizational models, supply chain and territorial impacts."

The event gathered sector representatives and institutions. Alberto Fumagalli, CEO & Founder of Nameless Festival, took part in the discussion, underlining festivals' strategic value as cultural, economic and tourism drivers for local areas. An Observatory for the sector was also introduced to deepen data and development prospects.

• Organizational models: the need for sustainable festival planning integrated with local contexts.
• Economic and tourism impacts: measurable effects on local businesses, accommodation and services.
• Live entertainment supply chain: festivals' role in strengthening networks of operators and artists.
• Next edition: Nameless Festival is scheduled in Lecco from 31 May to 1 June 2026.

The conference highlights festivals' central role in cultural development strategies and the importance of monitoring tools to capture impacts and best practices.
