“You try to have a world in your heart and you can't express it with words.”
F. De Andrè - Un matto (dietro ogni scemo c’è un villaggio) 1971
 

From October 2 to 5 Fino a Leggermi Matto. Sassari returns to being the stage for Fino a Leggermi Matto, the literary-musical festival that unites words and notes in an intertwining of stories, books, sounds, and performances.

Now in its sixth edition, the festival – organized by Le Ragazze Terribili with the support of Regione Sardegna, Cepell, and Comune di Sassari – will animate Padiglione Tavolara, The Room at Emiciclo Garibaldi, Quod Design on via Mercato, and, with a special stop, also Cagliari.
 

The 2025 edition pays homage to two great protagonists of Italian culture, Franco Battiato and Stefano Benni, and will welcome prominent writers, music critics, journalists, and musicians. Among the expected guests: Tommaso “Piotta” Zanello, Fabio Zuffanti, Gennaro Ascione, Michele Monina, Maurizio Pratelli, Giacomo Pisano, Donato Zoppo, and Federico Traversa, along with many others.
 

The program offers four dense days of encounters, presentations, and live sets ranging from past musical myths to contemporary avant-gardes: talk of Litfiba, The Cure, Joy Division, Billie Holiday, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne, up to new perspectives on artificial intelligence applied to music. Special moments for kids, concerts, exclusive DJ sets, and performances that bring music beyond the printed page will not be missing.
To close the festival, on October 11 at Palazzo di Città di Sassari, the show Io la Musica Sono by Mario Tronco, inspired by Monteverdi's Orfeo: a scenic and sonic journey intertwining myth, poetry, and music in a new and surprising form.
 

An edition to go madə about!
