Il Rumore del Lutto Festival turns twenty, the first and most important Italian event dedicated to the culture of Death Education. From September 26 to November 15, 2026, the twentieth edition, titled 'La Lode', returns to Parma with a program that weaves music, theater, art, and conversations to explore the theme of death and mourning with fresh perspectives. The opening features two internationally acclaimed concerts at the Auditorium Paganini: on Saturday, September 26, the return to Italy of Diamanda Galás, almost ten years after her last performance in our country, and on Sunday, September 27, the voice of Marc Almond. The festival extends to various venues in the city, from the Casa della Musica to the Abbazia Valserena, where on Sunday, November 15, Stefano Mancuso is expected for the closing event. For the second consecutive year, the event crosses national borders with appointments in other Italian cities and in Los Angeles through the Experience format.
