Associated with the Réseau Varèse Since 1999

Created in 1986, the Romaeuropa foundation is dedicated to the promotion and defence of contemporary arts in their international environment. The festival, held every autumn, is a major Italian event that unites the traditional performing arts (theatre, dance, music, etc.) with new forms that have emerged from today’s technology and world views.
