the season of events ends
2022 marked the return to full capacity for the entertainment sector and the ARENA VERONA was able to confirm its role as a “temple of music” with LIVE & TV programming that saw over 300 artists perform on stage including unique concerts, television events and live appointments.
In less than five months, over 31 million viewers (in Italy alone) watched the shows from the ARENA on TV: an exceptional number of people who were able to admire the Amphitheater, significantly increasing the national and international media exposure of the city of Verona.
We remember the impressive opening with two of the most important Italian music artists in the world: MÅNESKIN, an iconic band that inflamed the Amphitheater with its charge of energy and SUGAR which, with 14 evenings, once again reaffirmed its international caliber.
