Aperitif. Music. Dolce Vita: six events at Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel

We are happy to announce the start of a new collaboration with Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel, one of the most iconic places in Palermo.

Between July, August and September 2026 we will bring to life Aperitif. Music. Dolce Vita, a programme of six events designed to accompany the summer through music, meetings and new connections.

For us it is wonderful to begin this path with Villa Igiea, working together to build a format that connects the identity and elegance of a historic place with a new idea of contemporary socialising.

Six events, one story

Aperitif. Music. Dolce Vita will be a true summer programme.

Six events spread across July, August and September, each with its own atmosphere but all part of the same project.

More than a simple series of aperitifs, it is a format designed to grow event after event, building a community and a new habit in the city’s summer calendar.

Music, aperitif, relationships and the charm of Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel, will accompany every evening.

A stage for new musical talent

Music will be one of the central elements of the project.

Over the six events, local and emerging DJs will take turns, selected to tell the story of the languages, sounds and new energies of Palermo’s music scene.

The aim is to give space to new talent and build a sound that speaks to the place and to the moment of the evening, from the aperitif to the more musical part of the event.

A programme that will change each time, while keeping a shared identity.

Meeting, getting to know each other, creating connections

Alongside the music, Aperitif. Music. Dolce Vita wants above all to be an occasion to meet.

Entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, artists and people from different worlds will be able to come together in an informal setting, naturally encouraging networking, new relationships and new ideas.

Without the rigidity of a traditional business event.

The aim is to create a space where connections can arise spontaneously, between an aperitif, a DJ set and a conversation.

Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel, protagonist of the summer

There could be no more representative place to bring this project to life.

Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel, with its history, its position on the sea and its bond with Palermo, will become the meeting point for six evenings designed to tell the story of a contemporary, international and open city.

A historic place that, through this new programme, meets new audiences, new languages and new energies.

And this is exactly one of the aspects of the collaboration that excites us most: helping to build together an experience that respects the identity of Villa Igiea and, at the same time, opens it up to a new story.

A new summer to build together

Aperitif. Music. Dolce Vita will start in July and will stay with us until September.

Six events, six DJ sets, lots of people to meet and a new collaboration that we are truly happy to begin.
