I Cugini di Campagna 2026 Tour

Gaeta is one of their autumn 2026 tour dates. In early October, the band performed in Sicily: in Ventimiglia di Sicilia on 3 October, in San Cono on the 4th, and in Biancavilla on the 6th. Then on Friday, 23 October, they arrive in Gaeta to play in one of the city’s newest squares, surrounded by the Pizza Fest.

Where to find Piazza dei Maestri Vetrai and where to park

Piazza dei Maestri Vetrai is Gaeta’s new square, opened in December 2025 in the town centre between Corso Italia, Via Serapide, and the ex Avir area. Open location on Google Maps.

On the evening of the concert and Pizza Fest, the town centre gets quite busy, so it is best to arrive early. For parking options and ZTL (restricted traffic zone) rules, check our Gaeta parking guide; if you are coming from Formia or nearby towns, you can take the Cotral buses.

Visiting from out of town: where to eat and where to stay

No need to search for dinner spots: on the same evening, right around the square, the Pizza Fest offers pizza (including gluten-free options) along with food & beer. If you are staying overnight, our guide on where to stay in Gaeta features B&Bs, holiday homes, and hotels, many just a few minutes’ walk from Corso Italia.
