An isolated manor. A seemingly harmless murder mystery weekend. Then the game comes to a chilling end when a real body is discovered in the drawing room.
Now a group of amateur detectives must uncover the truth behind the gruesome crime (and before the killer strikes again...)

Music and Light. A Summer Solstice Celebration

This evening, in the ancient Church of San Giovanni Decollato in Nepi, music and light will come together in a moment of rare beauty and contemplation.

As the Summer Solstice reaches its turning point, a ray of sunlight will enter the church and illuminate the main altar dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, an event that occurs only at this special time of year, revealing the profound connection between architecture, nature, and the sacred.

To accompany this moment, the church will host the concert "Musical Pearls of the Italian Seicento", featuring works by Claudio Monteverdi, Barbara Strozzi, and Giacomo Carissimi. Soprano Marta Pacifici and lutenist Edoardo Blasetti will guide the audience through a musical journey shaped by silence, light, and resonance.

More than a concert, this is an invitation to pause and witness a meeting between the rhythms of the cosmos and the human search for meaning, a moment in which light becomes presence, and music becomes a way of listening.

Church of San Giovanni Decollato, Nepi
23th of june, today, from 8:00 PM
Following the solemn Mass and community gathering.

All are welcome. ✨

NEPETIS MIRABILIA, immersive theater and Phantasmagoria at the Borgia Court.
Step into the Dark Heart of the Renaissance
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Palio dei Borgia, the acclaimed Nepetis Mirabilia returns! Prepare yourself for a breathtaking, immersive journey through the historic Borgia Fortress.
This traveling performance weaves history, live music, and haunting imagery into a spectacular phantasmagoria, sweeping you straight into the dark, magnificent, and secrets-filled heart of the Renaissance.

As a guest, you will follow Burchard, the Master of Ceremonies and private secretary to Pope Alexander VI Borgia. As the tireless chronicler of the papal court's wildest scandals and intrigues, he will guide you through hidden staircases, grand halls, and ancient courtyards.
Along the way, you will cross paths with figures suspended between history and legend:
An Alchemist in search of redemption.
A Comedienne with a razor-sharp wit.
The Amused Courtesan watching the drama unfold.
With live music, spellbinding theater, and the candlelit splendor of the Fortress, this night revives the visionary soul of the Renaissance, an era when performance was wonder, political propaganda, and collective ritual.

Don't just learn about history, live it.
